Ricci Club (1989)
by Nina Ricci

After trying it on my skin the top and mid notes transitioned in a hurry and after 10 minuted the drydown has arrived. I mean, really? Already? That soon? Why the rush?
So the drydown, initially reminded me of Gucci Envy, the oily amber note, but then the oiliness disappears and you get a green mossy tempered accord.
I'm glad i bought the 10ml mini and not a full bottle. Will put this scent to use as soon as possible, since there's no reason for me to keep it in my rotation throughout the year.

This was one of my favorites and still is. Unfortunately, it is very hard to find in NYC. Too bad because it is truly a nice, clean citrus with excellent staying power. Smells very manly and never overbearing.

I am not getting much love from this one. Much as I hope to like this, especially after reading all the positive reviews, I just felt that while it is a respectable citrus scent, there's nothing here, not even in the beautiful opening, that will induce me to reach out for it more often. I just wish Ricci Club is a little more colorful, more vivid. Longevity is quite poor. I also have the concentration- this is a little better but still it doesn't do much for me.

This is a unique scent. Very appealing, warm and lovely. All of the notes blend beautifully and complement each other producing a genial bouquet. This is probably the finest citrus scent I've ever smelled. This fragrance deserves to be more popular. Two thumbs up!

A citrusy, oakmoss and leather. Actaully quite strong for citrus. Quite beautiful. Worth a sniff.

I had a bottle of Ricci Club aftershave when I was about 25. I loved it. Ik was surprised to(recently) find out that RC is still in production and I bought a bottle on the web. A bit afraid that it might be a turn down, after more than 15 years. But it wasn't! I still love it! And although it's almost 20 years it came out, it's not oldfashioned in any way.
The opening is fresh and sharp, first minutes a bit too sharp for my taste, but then it calmes down and bit to an incredible combination of warmth and freshness. How did they do this??
It's powerful but inoffensive, masculine but not macho at all, and pretty longlasting. I think it's very suitable for daytime use as well as special occasions, it's extremely 'versatile'. A kind of fragrance which becomes part of you (so make sure to build up some stock)
Great bottle, too!
