The first Vénus Eau de Parfum appeared in 2024 as a Floral Chypre, a luminous creation that summoned the goddess of love into the present day. The composition unfolded with bright citrus and fruity nuances, followed by solar white florals, anchored by patchouli, woods, and soft vanilla. It presented Venus not as a distant icon carved in stone, but as a living presence – radiant, intimate, and authentic.
- Top Notes – Citrus Brightness, Fruity Nuances
- Heart Notes – Solar White Florals
- Base Notes – Patchouli, Woods, Vanilla
Building on this foundation, the 2025 Intense edition reimagines the goddess with sensuality, amplifying the contrasts of light and shadow.
Where Light Meets Shadow – The Scent of Vénus Intense
Belonging to the Ambery Floral family, Vénus de Nina Ricci Eau de Parfum Intense opens with the richness of blackcurrant liquor fused with the luminous freshness of mandarin. At its heart, a radiant bouquet of tiare flower, jasmine, and magnolia blooms with solar warmth. The base settles into the depth of patchouli, the resinous glow of benzoin, and the creamy allure of vanilla bourbon.
- Top Notes – Blackcurrant Liquor, Mandarin
- Heart Notes – Tiare Flower, Jasmine, Magnolia
- Base Notes – Patchouli, Benzoin, Vanilla Bourbon
The structure reflects the duality at the center of the Vénus mythology – radiant light contrasted with hypnotic depth.
When Gold Meets Darkness – The Bottle as Myth
The bottle of Vénus Eau de Parfum Intense draws inspiration from Art Deco design codes, deeply rooted in Nina Ricci’s heritage. One side radiates with brushed gold, a reflection of solar strength. The other is cloaked in black lacquer, embodying mystery and allure. Together, these elements echo the olfactory structure, where brightness and shadow coexist in balance.
Robert Ricci’s conviction that perfume must be treated as a masterpiece is evident here – not only in the scent but also in its vessel.
Nature Refined – Sustainability in the Language of Perfume
The fragrance was composed with a strong emphasis on sustainability. It is vegan, formulated with 90% natural-origin ingredients, and enriched by a magnolia fraction sourced in Grasse through an innovative process. This approach reflects Nina Ricci’s dedication to combining creativity, craftsmanship, and environmental responsibility.
The Eternal Muse – Nina Ricci’s Mythological Legacy
Since its earliest creations, Nina Ricci has woven mythology and symbolism into perfumery. Robert Ricci, son of the house’s founder, believed fragrance could embody universal archetypes. The Vénus line embodies this philosophy – beginning with the luminous 2024 Eau de Parfum and now expanded through the Intense edition of 2025.
Vénus Intense – A Goddess in the Present
With its solar florals, ambery depth, and refined craftsmanship, Vénus de Nina Ricci Eau de Parfum Intense transforms myth into a fragrance for today. It honors the Maison’s artistic heritage while carrying a universal message – an invitation to embrace love, authenticity, and radiant self-expression.
