Founded in 1932, Nina Ricci has remained one of the most prestigious fashion houses in all of France. Madame Ricci established it along with her son, Robert, when they decided that setting up their own haute couture house was a lucrative business idea with many opportunities. Madame Ricci took the role of a fashion designer, while Robert was the one who handled the business, including the finances.

They started working with fabrics, creating their own lines of feminine designs. After a few months from inception, their business grew under the name Nina Ricci, already known to the fashion industry as one of the best producers of romantic and refined fashion pieces.

The success of Nina Ricci can be attributed much to Robert’s effort. In 1945, he came up with the idea of exhibiting the best dresses ever made. With the help of the President of the Chamber, Lucien Lelong, Robert was able to dress more than a hundred mannequins from forty prestigious couturiers in the whole of France.

Madame Gres and Balenciaga were even included in that exhibition held in Louvre, Paris. This fashion showcase is what allowed the designs of Nina Ricci to reach other areas of Europe and even the United States.

After a few years of success, Nina Ricci began offering a line of luxury perfumes for the affluent. Robert was the creator of these fragrances, and he created this new line of products just to cope with the company’s expansion.

The first perfume made by him was named Coeur Jolie, and this was followed by another, the L’Air du Temps. This latter fragrance is the one considered by most consumers as the most delicate. It even remains as Nina Ricci’s top seller until these days.

The Coeur Jolie, on its first release, was valued not just for the delicate scent it emits but also for the great packaging that Nina Ricci has made. The perfume was contained in a crystal bottle that is frosted. The bottle was crafted by Marc Lalique and it features illustrations made by Christian BZrard.

This fragrance is made of sweet smelling flowers, the one that sets Nina Ricci apart from the rest of France’s creative perfumery. The L’Air du Temps, which means “mood of the times”, became France’s most classic perfume product ever created.

In 1959, new designs emerged then bringing Nina Ricci to new heights. The house acquired an international honor mainly for the success of one of its new collections, the Jules-Francois Crahay. This line was consolidated a few years after by GZrard Pipart, who took the new management over the haute couture studio in the year 1964. That same year, the L’Air du Temps was distributed and marketed not just in the whole Paris, but also in the major markets in the United States and Japan.

The perfumes of Nina Ricci continued to develop even after the death of Madame Ricci in 1970. The company was then considered as the leading exporter of fragrances in France. The production was even increased with the establishment of Ury Perfume Production Center where the known Farouche perfume was formulated. The company made several other fragrances, and this production is expected to increase with more and more people and technologies now being used for better results.

Are you looking for a good discount women’s perfume? Despite what the snobs may say, they do exist. For a list of the best perfumes for under $30, keep reading.

Stetson

Admittedly, Stetson is not a women’s perfume, but it could be. Though the well-known drugstore cologne is made for men, the bold fragrance blend of lavender, lemon, bergamot, jasmine, tonka, sandalwood and patchouli make it a great candidate for a deep and permeating feminine scent.

For less than $10 a bottle, it’s both refreshing, but also deep – offering up vanilla tones and lemon high notes with every inhale. However, it doesn’t remain for long. Like many cheap perfumes, this one only lasts about 30 minutes on skin, though the smell will linger when sprayed on clothing.

Maurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Fragrance

In 1938, Tabac soap was first made. The product was so successful that its German manufacturers started making the Tabac Original Soap in 1955. Today, Tabac Original is still sold on European and North American drug store shelves and for under $20 a bottle, it’s definitely a discount fragrance.

Despite its low cost and poor packaging, Tabac is a scent that both lingers and changes. The first notes are bold with scents of lavender, sandalwood, carnation, oak wood, bergamot and black pepper. And yet, it’s still clean and fresh. That may be the aldehydes coming through. And though it’s a discount brand, Tabac wins top points for being long-lasting. The fragrance will stay for hours, lingering as a touch of cloves and vanilla musk.

Avon’s Soft Touch Perfume

It may only cost $15 a bottle, but Soft Touch by Avon is an incredibly long-lasting perfume that’s both innocent and fresh at the same time. While so many scents that came out in this mid-nineties era of soft pink discount women’s perfume simply reeked of baby powder and mineral oil, Soft Touch has floral undertones and somehow, a splash of sophistication. Surprisingly, it’s also long-lasting.

Philosophy Cosmetic’s Amazing Grace

At only $25 a bottle, Amazing Grace is a steal. The product was launched by Philosophy cosmetics and was so popular, it quickly expanded into a whole line of body washes, powders, creams and more. Customers couldn’t get enough of this beautiful scent, and for good reason.

Amazing Grace smells clean, which is probably the best way to describe it. It doesn’t smell like rubbing alcohol or bleach clean, just clean – like fresh sheets. The notes are there, but they’re never overpowering, making this a wonderful discount women’s perfume for everyday wear.

I bet the odds are that Ralph Lauren does not wear anything from his own range of fragrances. Why? Some scents are more suitable for women than they are for men. Menthol, saddle leather and cigar smoke are usually smells associated with masculinity. Did you ever try your Dad’s aftershave as a little girl? Bet it made you sick! The body chemistry between the sexes basically determines what kind of scent smells best.

Some Specifics

Ralph Lauren is the same name that is behind all the high priced, designer label clothes. Ralph was not content knocking out overpriced colored jeans. He needed a way to get inside women’s pant, or rather pockets, where the credit cards were hiding!

Ralph Lauren’s range of perfumes are available in a variety of fragrances because the world is full of a wide variety of women. You could never encompass all the moods, emotions and situations a woman could find herself in with just one perfume scent. Ralph has attempted to capture all these moods in his vast range with fragrance like Glamorous, Glamorous Daylight, Lauren, Romance, Polo Sport, Turquoise, Cool, Ralph Rocks, Hot and Safari. Notice how there seems to be something for everyone, something to suit your every mood and own personal body chemistry.

Getting Your Hands On Ralph Lauren

Ralph’s range of perfumes seems to be available everywhere from your high end cosmetic shop to bargain basement shops and Wal-Mart. It’s also available from many websites. The only problem with buying online is that until they invent smell-internet you can’t try out the perfumes. Best thing to do is browse your department stores and try out the testers. Once you find something you like and have beaten off the high pressure sales girls and grappled with a few gay cosmetic sales assistants (you know which one I mean), rush home and make your purchase online. You can save yourself a tidy sum by shopping this way.

Getting A Good Deal Online

Ralph Lauren perfume is usually expensive but that’s the price you are going to have to pay for a designer perfume. We have found that the cheapest place is usually ebay. Before making your purchase checkout the seller and see what feedback they have. Make sure other purchasers rate them well and they are selling legitimate Ralph Lauren. As with most designer products there are a lot of rip off copies around.

Always try to make your purchase with Paypal. That way if you find yourself unhappy with the product you have some kind of protection and can get your money reimbursed. Also pay attention to the shipping costs. It’s not uncommon for some sellers to be overseas and whilst the perfume may be cheaply priced you can get stung on the amount you will pay in shipping.
