Advantages: Unusual Fragrance Disadvantages: Hard to find
...in 1996 by the designer Nina Ricci and is made in France. There are 3 different variations of Les Belles De Ricci eau de toilette but the most popular is known as Liberty Fizz (The one in the green bottle). The price of this eau de toilette can vary dramatically as I have seen 100ml sold on the net for 34 pounds but actually managed to buy 60ml for 15, so a bit of a bargain there then, David Dickinson would be proud!
I would say this perfume is ... ...smells like Tomatoes!? Well apparently Nina Ricci does as this eau de toilette contains extracts from the leaf, flower and fruit of the Tomato. When you first spray it on all you really smell is the alcohol, which isn't very pleasant, but once it has settled you get a very delicate fruity Tomato fragrance with very citrusy undertones. Now you might say who wants to smell like a Tomato and you would be right if this smelt like a traditional salad ...

Advantages: Beautifully packaged, lovely fragrence Disadvantages: cost perhaps, where to find it.
I first discovered Les Belles de Ricci a few years ago when my friend began to use it. It’s an incredibly distinctive smell so everyone must have been able to smell us coming! I find it’s a very everyday sort of perfume, quite a soft fresh fragrence which can be lightly worn to give an airof fragrence or in the evenings worn more intensely. It’s a difficult smell to sum up. It’s sort of fruity but not in a sweet way. I think ... ...(sounds unpleasant but it’s really really not!) and a sort of softness that reminds me a bit of talcum powder. Despite this softness of fragrence it’s zingy and zesty. I’m often complimented on it and to my closest friends it’s a smell they recognise on me. One thinks I smell like cherry brandy so i’m not sure if I can use that to help describe it. I think I might be a bit immune to the smell now so wear lots! The packaging ...

...Well, according to the excellent Nina Ricci website, the fragrance is based on the leaf, flower and fruit of the tomato plant. Interesting, huh? Oh and by the way, I'm actually writing an opinion of the Liberty Fizz version of this perfume - there are actually two other types available, although I have not tried these.
'Les Belles de Ricci' range is made with young women and girls in mind. I'm a young woman I guess, but I'm sure that older people ... ...just the packaging then. It's bold, bright and eyecatching. The bottles are great shapes and even the lid is different. This is definitely one of my favourite perfumes of all time and the fact that I bought a massive bottle of it from Duty Free a few weeks ago for about £20 makes it even better. It lasts for ages and it lingers in my room for days.
They're designed for spontaneous, unpredictable people who are always bright and cheery - now, I can ...

Advantages: Everything, read above. Disadvantages: Nothing in particular, maybe a drop in price might catch the attention of more consistant buyers..
...my sister who's also another Nina Ricci fan and i instantly fell in love with this product and brought it myself. THE SCENT: Firstly i'd like to explain a little about the very unusual but gorgeous scent this product has. In my opinion i would describe it as a very fruity, strong and sweet smelling perfume but unlike other leading fragrances this one does not have the over powering smell which instantly comes across as 'too much' which certainly ... ...is so pleasing that its one of those products you cant help but keep sniffing it and i would describe it as quite addictive! Also its staying power is pretty incredible and somehow manages to last all day which is very unusual to find a product that does this so well. DESIGN OF BOTTLE:
Although the scent is absoulutly wondeful another great fact about this perfume is its amazing design of bottle and its colour scheme which instantly attracts your ...

Advantages: puts you in a good mood Disadvantages: too sweet for some tastes
Les Belles de Rici is the most wonderful fragrance ever! It smells fruity and pretty making you feel in a happy mood! The best thing about it is there are no harsh tones making it overpowering. The presentation is imaginative in a cool swirly bottle. It is actually a very versatile perfume, not only for the day but also at night, not only in summer but it can make you feel summery all winter long. Although most people love it it does not suit some ...

Advantages: beautiful bottle Disadvantages: depends on your taste really
...had never owned any of Nina Ricci's products until I came across this one in the duty free section in the airport (killing time before a flight.... everyone's done that right?). The first thing that draws you to it is the brightly coloured, unusually styled body of the bottle; it definitely stands out amongst it's competitors. It's green glass unique bottle is not heavy and does make an interesting collection to the extensive perfume collection I ... ...is perhaps slightly a little sweet after first application but does calm down and usually lasts a long while without constant reapplication. It's not overpowering though which is always nice with female perfumes. It is also one that I wouldn't normally wear (I usually go for darker perfumes such as Gaultier or Boss) but this one is definitely one that pleases. It has been recommended as an evening perfume though I wouldn't necessarily agree; daytime ...

Advantages: smells fantastic Disadvantages: the tiny bottles run out too fast - the big bottles are much better value for money.
This is the most summery perfume i have ever had the pleasure of smelling. I remember three summers ago, i was at a friends house and we were on the way to the park - big group of us - for a barbecue. Before i left i sprayed on some les belles and we had the most wonderful, summers day. The scent lasted until evening, where my now husband, proposed. i will never forget that day and the smell of les belles reminds me of it.
It is a beautiful, decadent, ... ...have been buying it ever since, and for the last two years i have been given a bottle by my lovely husband for our anniversary.
The larger bottles are much better as they spray out better and you need to use less that from the smaller bottle where you need to spray a lot. The small bottles run out much faster, and the bigger bottle is definitely better value. ...

Advantages: Stunning smell and bottle Disadvantages: None
U never forget its smell its hard to come across but if you ever do snap it up its a 5 star purfume and if you dont like it you can always sell it me. : } Its not that well known and is very hard to come across i have been looking for awhile now and no good.
it's smell is very fruity and sweet and i find its not to over powering at all i wear this day, evening or night depanding on how i feel. I do enjoy this more in the summer wearing in the day ... ...all day or night and i dont find that i'm having to re-spray my-self to often with it like i find my-self doing with some of my other purfumes i wear. I do hope you enjoy this purfume if you ever come across it and do buy it and even if you dont wear it the bottle looks stunning in your collection and will stand out for all your friends to try. happy smelling ...

...but Nina Ricci seems to have hit the nail on the head with this one and I think it is perfect. As always, not all fragrances suit everyones tastes so I would try it before you buy but I don't think that many people wouldn't like this one. ...

My first experience of this range of perfumes was when I was bought 'Liberty Fizz' (green) for my birthday. From the first smell of this fragrance I feel in love with it. By christmas they had expanded the range to 'Almond Amour' (blue), 'Liberty Fizz!' (green) and 'Spicy Delight?!' (yellow) each of them has it's own unique scent which you can perfectly match to fit your mood. However my personal favourite is Spicy Delight. The scent stays with you ...

Advantages: Smells great Disadvantages: Only see it now and again
I bought this perfume while on the aeroplane returning from a holdiay for a mere £15 which i saw as a bargain. The reason i bought it was because of the packaging. The bottle is really beautiful, i still have it many years after the perfume ran out because of the originality of the design. The perfume smells really fresh and slightly floral and fruity scents to it. the perfume contains quite a bit of alcohol which means it should be watched where ... ...The bottle was a 48ml bottle, the title of the perfume is Les Belles De Ricci Liberty Fizz, it contains alcohol as all perfumes do so avoid sensitive skin and areas that are cracked or sore. The fragrance is perfume not eau de toilette, so it lasts up to 5 - 6 hours. I found that i did not need to use a lot of the perfume to have a noticeable effect, so it also lasted a long time, but it needed storing in a cool dry area away from windows and heat ...
