Nina Ricci Heir Romano Ricci Is Smelling Like Roses

This week I’ve been assigned the horrible job of going to Paris to check out the changes being made to the legendary Printemps department store, but more on that later. My favorite part of the day was meeting Nina Ricci heir Romano Ricci, who decided to go from a career in race car driving to fragrances. He launched his brand Juliette Has a Gun last year and has been busy selling the two scents, Lady Vengeance and Miss Charming in 12 countries. Printemps is one of the only places you can find the fragrance along with one of our favorite Parisian boutiques Colette. It’s sold at Henri Bendel and Fred Segal in the US.

The very charming Ricci, has been said to be quite the man about town, and tends to hang out with his equally attrractive friend Erwin Creed, the heir to the famous French fragrance company Creed. On one website I saw them referred to as the Paris and Nicole of the fragrance world!

Here is a cute picture of Romano from yesterday afternoon. I loved his casual use of a tuxedo shirt!
