Premier Jour is the first day of the new ear for Nina Ricci, and it announces the restitution of the original codes of this brand. The Premier Jour fragrance merges with the form of a woman, without any particular accentuation of itself. Its sensual scent is aimed at body rather than thoughts. Optimistic mandarin and joyous sweet pea in alliance with gardenia give an intimate nuance to sweet note of the composition.
Delicate orchid, vanilla, and woodsy-musky base notes blend in a lingering soft trace. The designers of this fragrance are Sophie Labbe and Carlos Benaim. It was launched in 2001.

well first off, the cap is very annoying as its made to sit crooked on the bottle, but other than that i do love this scent. i would agree that it isn't a citrus floral, but you can actually smell a bit of the mandarin orange towards the end. this is just so feminine and girly. the notes blend perfectly on my skin. i love these warm floral musky fragrances. they are such a delight to my nose. this is defintely a comfort scent for me. lasting 4 solid hrs so far.
I have no idea what scent Tania Sanchez smelled before writing her review on Premier Jour but to call it citrus floral... I`m thinking she probably confused bottles or something. I love the Guide and learned a lot from it but some of Tania Sanchez reviews are a bit pretentious.
So sophisticated and feminine! I just adore it
one word
this is my signature perfume
chic classic but not anoying or old like channel5
it is pretty & coquette
NiNa RiCCi PReMieR JouR
For watever the name means...The perfume is a classic beauty ...its a shame it doesnt stay long enough...
The fragrance is heavy and more for the evenings... one thats a correct mix of woods and flowers...
Reminds you of a campfire or a nice quiet fireplace at home on a christmas eve...
I would love it ,if for the price,it stayed longer...
The fragrance is Sensuous!
:)
I just smelled this perfume today and I kind of like the smell. It's indeed safe and subtle, pretty and feminine, and not the kind of smell that will get you overwhelmed. I may gonna get this perfume for my mother as it's somehow too heavy for me. Doesn't mean that this is "mothers' perfume", but just don't match my personality. On the right person, this perfume could be the thing that bring her to the spotlight. :)
It is very similar to CK Truth, very feminine, subtle and romantic, but the lasting power is below average on me.
Beautiful, sheer, soft, no sharp edges. Perfect for the office where others might be sensitive to fragrance. Not great on longevity, about 3-4 hours on me. Worth reapplying though. Reminds me a bit of Intimately Beckham, but so much better.
The shop assistant insisted me to at least smell it once. She said she wore it and got lots of complements. If so, it must be nose-catching. OK, it's fresh, floral, fruity with woody base and a little citric in first layer but not such an admirable yet I bet you get complements! I don't know what's in this simple combination that charms me badly while it's so routine and ordinary. Maybe because it's something everyone accept, everyone love; inoffensive, potent and fluffy.
I wish this stayed on my skin long enough for me to even begin appreciating it! Love the bottle though.
my nthis perfume is elegant and femminine.a very elegant lady in a bottle.is milky flowery scent .stay on for all day,my nose dont pick any woods...never mind ;-)
Bought it blindly as was on sale plus I based on reviews only. Nothing special for me,very boring notes,doesn t make me feel special:( It isnt ugly fragrance or aggressive though it is just so bland and without any shape for me. Sorry lovers of this one
My nose had a glimpse of this premier jour when i was 23yrs old..My aunt had this before and i can't resist the feminine smell... So i always choose this one though its rare here in my country...I definitely like it..thumbs up :))
It doesn't last very well but I like it very very much
Not as sweet as usual Nina Ricci, longevity is very good! Unique bottle
A beautiful fragrance but it doesn't last on my skin.
A beautiful fragrance but it doesn't last on my skin.
A nice, ”kind” fragrance that makes you feel safe and comfortable. I don’t find it sexy or provocative at all, just feminine and decent. It is not especially unusual, but not common either, and definitely not boring or ”cheap”. Premier Jour is an elegant, creamy, soft gardenia and sweet pea fragrance, as safe as a nice dress that saves your day when you wonder what to wear.
The sexiest and most feminine perfume I've ever smelled and owned.
Finally a gardenia scent that's not too harsh and too green! This is lovely - very tendre, soft and innocent. Opens up bright and sparkly, slightly fruity, slightly sweet and slightly pungent at the same time. Then it transitions into beautiful buttery gardenia. Finally, vanilla enters the stage in the dry down, ever so gentle, every so cuddly. I am intrigued by the development of the perfume - it is not at all linear. My favourite stage is the middle notes.
The top and the middle of this perfume are very similar in composition and development to Brasil Dream (Estee Lauder) but WAYYYY BETTER. Brasil dream is harsh, whereas this is soft.
refind and yet happy, sexy but in a subtle way. i love it. one of my favorites.
VERY feminine and classy.
My mum gave me a tester of this and on first smell I thought it was much to old for me. After a while I decided it wasn't quite as bad as I had first thought. Still not a smell I would find myself wearing often
I really like this fragrance and I feel it's like a classic perfume. It doesn't last very well though unfortunately, so have to re-apply
This one is being discontinued??? I don´t believe it. It was such a huge hit when it came out and still is one of the bestsellers in my country shops. Also still widely available. This is a very good summer fragrance without being annoying, not being too much citrus, not too much floral, not too much of everything and great lasting power. It is not very remarkable though, but as i have tried it lately in the shop i remembered it and wanted it instantly back. Very good also as an office scent since it is not offensive.
I couldn't agree more with the previous reviewer. This was a lovely "second skin" type of fragrance, not unlike Trussard's Skin only more floral. The bottle was cute too.
This is quite like Jil Sander Sensations. I wore it for my wedding. I loved it and went through several bottles. Now sadly discontinued. Why Nina Ricci (or whoever it is) saw fit to dump this and crank out the brightly coloured sugar fruit miasmas that currently make up its range I can't fathom. This was proper perfume, sophisticated, fresh, warm, beautiful at every stage. Very spring/summer. Actually does merge with you like it says it does.
They changed the bottle at one point, which wasn't an improvement. They gave it a nasty rubber lid. Then they they just gave up and threw it out. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY??
Phillistines.
By looking at the bottle I thought that this one might be very powdery or soapy and mature. But it is nothing like that! It's a light, gentle floral on my skin. Very pleasant and discrete, a little bit sweet but generally fresh. Nothing extraordinary for me but definitely a very wearable fragrance that will not offend anyone.
I could smell it very well for the first 3 hours but then I literally had to put my wrist to my nose to catch a little bit of whatever was left of the fragrance, so I guess that it is not very long-lasting (at least on me).
i got a tester from a fellow swapper from here and i ould have to say i really like this one..all the florals i have in my collection have a harsh scent to them that i do not care for anymore but this is my perfect floral its very fresh and almost a little tangy fruity...im going to order a large bottle of this for sure very pretty for spring
Nice but just not me. More like my mom.
It was the first gift I earned from my boyfriend, almost 8 years ago!!
Premier jour is a nice floral scent, with a soft vannila base. It´s non invasive, close to skin and easy to wear. Hugo Boss Femme reminds me this one, wich I prefer (and has better lasting power).
Now, my bottle was finished and I hope replace it soon!!
[Thanks, Bronx Beauty. for introducing this to me in a blind sniff!]
My first impression from a blind sniff test: fresh green, almost grassy; but not harsh, and not hippie.
After a few minutes: warm, soft, earthy. A bit of gentle (not chilly) floral, which turns out to be sweet pea. Floral notes always balanced by a green, leafy and "polleny" quality, with super light woods. Mmmm. I seem to have a positive reaction to everything with sweet pea.
This reminds me of Calvin Klein Truth (which is a bit more sweetly floral), even though they haven't a note in common. Both are clean without turning into shampoo, and they share a fresh, optimistic, harbinger-of-spring attitude.
The architectural design of the bottle is fun (though I don't see its relationship to the fragrance). I kind of wish the parts of the bottle moved, but I suppose that would be messy.
This fragrance suprised me. I didnt expect that Im gonna like it. On my skin it is a nice floral. In the top notes are a little bit too citrusy, but it disappears quikly and it becomes a nice, comfortable, easy-to-wear fragrance.
Modern and sexy and if bland i'm not a fan of skin
scents but this seems to be alright, opens green
and woody with clean etchings of white gardenia. dries down sweet with vanilla and sweet pea I don't smell
any orchids nor detect them but it has a beautiful musk
drydown Basically there's not alot to say about this
these are one of the self explanatory fragrances with
the No Fuss No Muss kind of altitude with modern
Perfumery nothing that screams out individuality.
It is beautiful, it is floral, it is comforting.
perfect for any age group and for any occasion.
Though not unique but still lovable fragrance by nina ricci. i categorize it as floral/chypre fragrance.
Great bottle, nice silage and longevity.
I give it 7.3 out of 10.
ilove it :)
Hi.
First I Expected a strong overpowering scent,instead I was pleasantly surprised by PREMIER JOUR as I found it Soft in a Nice way.Playfully Attractive and Irresistibly Seductive. It is not as Special as PURE POISON. Romantic,Cute, Luminous,Delicious,Floral,Feminine and Fresh.
Joyful notes of Sweet Pea and Mandarin Orange leading to an Romantic heart of Orchid and Especially Gardenia and these are brought into a Feminine and Soft base of Creamy Musk,Vanilla and Sandalwood and Evokes a feeling of Serenity and Beauty.Middle notes are the best for me.
In fact The white floral notes make it fresh and at the same time Romantic.It is not sharp or overwhelming.A nice Feminine scent you could use it for most Seasons and Occasions.Ideal for a Blithe Lady who likes a Refined yet Romantic scent. Totally it is not a Extraordinary floral but Simply LOVELY.
Sillage?Interesting.
Longevity?Average on my skin.
6.5/10
this is a super duper great perfume!!! i love it!!
As I've written below, this is a special perfume (as I think) that seems to be made for intelligent & open-minded women who know what they want and at the same time conscious of their beauty & sensibility.
It's my wife second preferred (after Dior Pure Poison, which btw. is stunning), along with Kenzo Amour Floral and Bvlgari Jasmine Noir...all sharing the finest flowery accord of jasmine & other white flowers.
Nina Ricci PJ is a little similar at heart with Dior PP but lighter & sweeter at drydown & can be worn by women of every age being versatile enough in many occasions and seasons. Very, very nice (for beloved women by men who are in love with them):D,
@ guest_MS NERO:
I got one bottle for my wife (it's one of her favorites perfumes, along with Dior Pure Posion & Kenzo Amour Floral...check these also once, you sure'll like them).
Anyway...I got one 100ml EDP bottle of Premier Jour with about 70$ from strawberrynet.com.
Good luck!

Premier jour, what an appropriate name for this perfume. It's joyful,feminine and sensual in a very discreet way. I like the bottle,it is just perfect.
I love this one!
I bought it untested, because it got such good feedback here on Fragrantica.
Unfortunately, it smells a bit too weak and boring on my skin.
I will save it as a gift to a friend. Someone will love it better than me.
This is one simply beautiful fragrance,from top to base. First the fresh and sweet opening of citrus and sweet pea, followed by a sensuous mellow gardenia, to the warm but fresh woodsy dry-dow. I can barely smell the vanilla. I'd have never tried it if I hadn't liked it on a friend.And luckilly it smells nice on my skin, it gives me this endless sensation of cleanliness and serenity.Perfect for daily wear any time of the year. What a lucky finding!
I got perfumed deodorant spray and it's very light. Perfect for hot summer days or to be around people sensitive to strong fragrances. If anybody is interested I can trade for something I want.
This is how our downstairs bathroom always smelled like when mom had left for work.
I'd like to say that this is the essence of my mom, but that would be too plainly said.
[First message of the thread] Elgab89: "My mom wears it and I love it on her."
This is my absolutly favorite perfume! Everyone always says I smell so GOOD! I love it and I hope it doesn"t go away. It is difficult to find at times! wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
j'aime beacoup nina ricci premier jour c'est un porte bonheur pour moi en fait chaque évènement que je fasse pour la première fois je me parfume avec premier jour c'est un sentiment de toute chose nouvelle dans ma vie qui va m'apporter du bonheur
not bad ...but not remarkable..a bit boring ..and I find the bottle absolutely hideous
you won't get a lot of compliments
I had an opportunity to use Premier Jour EDT for a while (my roommate let me use hers) and just fell in love with it. Back then it seemed to me that EDP is too strong on me, but now I even like perfume more.
Very elegant, feminine, special and smells expensive. I agree- it really is classy! There's nothing too much, but also it's not plain.
This is the Perfume for me and I just adore it!
It's one of my absolute favorites! I got it in my teens and continue buying it since. It's floral but not too sweet, perfect for hot days...
I like this and I would buy a bigger bottle but I swear it does not even last 10 minutes on my skin. Such a pitty. It is a delicate elegant scent but the staying power is sooooo poor.
Two or three years ago I really wanted this to be my signature scent. But I failed in this. I wanted something powdery, yet fruity. The mandarin-orange, almond and sweet pea notes are quite nice on my skin, yet the sandalwood is getting stronger and stronger, and in the end, I cannot smell anything else, but sandalwood - like an incense stick burning. A bit too sharp.
I mostly feel sweet pea, mandarin and gardenia in this fragrance. The sweet pea note really makes this fragrance special. I like this fragrance, it smells elegant enough. But actually I like more how it smells from the bottle than on skin, so I wear it not often.
Very nice fragrance though it did not worked on my skin and gave me a headache sometimes. Maybe too floral for me..
GOSTARIA DE ADQUIRIR O PERFUME DA NINA RICCI COMO FAÇO ?
Many people are just so simple. If you do not like it on your skin, but love it on a piece of paper, just spray it on your hair or on your clothing. Not only it will last longer, you will not get allergic reaction on your skin. Many smart people never spray perfumes on their skin - a healthy approach.
Hmm, only now I learned, that it has vanilla's smell... :) Usually I dont like Vanilla's, but I liked this aroma much. For me it seems to be quite light and good for warm seasons, as for summer, for example.
Premier Jour is a delicious, conforting, joyful fragrance. At least on my skin. It reminds me a little of Jil Sander Sensations, but better on my skin. Sensations smells great on a friend of mine. To be honest is not easy to detect notes here. I would call it floral-vanillic, perfect for daywear in colder months. EdP is even better, more mellow, creamy and intense. It's a fragrance that develop slowly and show different aspects. It has a fresh start, but not a sparkling or citrusy-sharp one. The first 30 minutes are not the best part of the fragrance. a little more true lemon oil would have been nice.
The heart is better, intensely floral, not cloying yet on the heavier side, it really blooms on my skin and it's powerful even in little amounts. A squirt is all you need if you want to enjoy your scent without killing people close to you (think of office...). Then comes the drydown: the vanilla start lingering along with flowers and it lasts a long time. Sandalwood is there but made sweeter by vanilla.
All in all it is an extremely enjoyable fragrance, perhaps not top of originality, but cosy and very feminine. It gives an aura of positive feminine sensuality that can be nice to perceive around, without being an overtly sexual or animalic smell that could annoy on the long term. The bottle is very cute and essential, while the coppery pink colour is very much in line with the scent. This one and Love in Paris are the only Nina Ricci's I can pleasurably wear.
Oh gosh...I didn't like this at all!It produced a very peculiar smell on my skin and my skin didn't like it all.Awful,awful,awful...
Oh!! This is was once, back in the days 2001, when it was launched, my fave Daytime-fragrance! This is really "spring in a bottle" for me!! And BTW the bottle is really cool and extravagant. It`s really perfect for spring/summertime & hot weather. It is sooo Refreshing & still a soft Floral!
it is very romantic and at the same time delicate and sexi.i love this scent
Premier jour is peaceful and delicate floral with pronounced notes of orchid and mandarin. Havent been able to detect vanilla or sandalwood. It is light, close to skin and tranquil.
I think it suits romantic, dreamy, smooth ladies.
Main objection to this one is lasting power which is extremely short. More than that I object him for being common an easily forgettable.
it's a very feminine scent, so tender, suitable for all occasions. I love it.
smells tropical and sensual. everyone wants a spritz when i wear it. unique bottle. works well on my skin in particular but not for everyone
i love premier jour alot, very sexy feminine elegant and the notes are matching together ,it smells like a rich fragrance
its classic ,I love it! and it's very romantic, Elegant and feminine
It's amasing wonderful scent!!! Very light, perfect for everyday use including work! and I had it and i can buy it again and again!
I sprayed 150 ml of it and I got so accustomed to it that I stopped perceiving it. For me Premier jour is an expression of a feminine innocence and its quite subtle aroma suits everyday occasions and office environment.
Yet, it is too ordinary one - I won't wear it again because I'm in search for more extravagant ones...
this fragrance is a normal one. it is not wow!!!, but, it is ok. you should try it :)
i am not sure, maybe i will buy it again.
It's classic. Elegant and feminine, the kind of fragrance that doesnt' need any advertising whatsoever. I had it and I can buy it again and again! Tons of compliments!
The most beautiful fragrance I ever had. Romantic, elegant, innocent, dreamy... and long lasting. I feel like I'm in heaven while I'm wearing it...
does anybody smell a hint of something smoky in the opening of this one? I think it may be just the bottle that I got, but would be interesting if someone else got a whiff of it too..
This is the kind of perfume that I called as classy...
It got class...
It smelled sooo elegant and also chic.
I used to think this one is heavy and powdery and without trying I was successfully avoiding Premier Jour. Until the day I actually tried it, which was a couple of weeks ago. A big surprise, loved it. I wouldnt call it oriental, it is more floral with a touch of vanilla arome. It is on my wish list, but going to purchase it for spring, I dont think it is suitable for winter.
Ein warmer Duft, der in die kühlere Jahreszeit passt.
Für diesen Duft erhielt ich schon oft Komplimente.
I love it!it makes me feel a very special woman and it's very romantic.I'm gonna buy a bottle as soon as possible
the vanilla is very weak for that i like it cause i hate the strong vanilla scent
Very soft and pretty. One of my favorites. Picked it up on my honeymoon and always brings back wonderful memories. Perfect to wear to work, very non offensive and soft.
it is ok for summer, for holidays, for office. it is a daytime perfume.
not outstanding, but it does put a smile on your face, as if remembering nice memories.
One of my favorites. Nice and suitable for both day and night. :-)
Somehow i dont smell vanilla at all, the mandarin and the orchid just in perfect scale. Yes, It is beautiful
It's beautiful.. I don't like the scent of vannila in perfumes but this one has just the right amount of it..
My mom wears it and I love it on her. It doesn't work on my skin, although it has a nice start.
