Ma Vie

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Nina Ricci Ma Vie

Ma Vie is a soft rose and freesia floral, and our version keeps that feel: a green cactus flower opening, a rose and freesia heart, and a soft woody base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Nina Ricci created Ma Vie as a modern, romantic floral, built around a fresh rose and freesia with a soft, feminine character meant for everyday love and life.

Our interpretation follows that idea. We keep the green cactus flower fresh up top, let pink freesia, jasmine and rose carry the middle, and finish on a soft cedar and musk base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a designer release. We build ours at a higher perfume oil concentration so the florals last longer, while keeping the same soft character.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who wants a soft, romantic, easy to wear rose floral for daytime and everyday wear.

Common Questions

How close is it to Nina Ricci Ma Vie?

It follows the soft, rosy floral character of the original closely. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

Is it stronger than the original?

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load, so most people find it projects and lasts as well as, or better than, the original release.

Is this the same perfume as Nina Ricci Ma Vie?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, so you can enjoy the character at our price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It leans feminine and is ideal for daytime and everyday wear.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
