The Thousand Kyoto offers afternoon tea inspired by Nina Ricci's new fragrance, "Nina Extra Rouge"

Event Date:2021.09.01-11.30
Aug 4, 2021
The Keihan Group's flagship hotel, THE THOUSAND KYOTO (Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City), will be collaborating for the first time with the Paris-founded French fashion brand NINA RICCI at its cafe and bar, TEA&BAR, which offers a modern interpretation of Kyoto's traditional tea ceremony culture, from September 1, 2021. The hotel will be offering a limited-time afternoon tea, "LOVE in Autumn - Love and Sweets in My Style," inspired by Nina Ricci's new fragrance, Nina Extra Rouge, which will be released nationwide on September 24, 2021. This is the first time that THE THOUSAND KYOTO has collaborated with Nina Ricci's new fragrance, Nina Extra Rouge, which is dangerously passionate and has a modern edge, and this project is a pioneering initiative before the fragrance is released in Japan.


In 2006, Nina Ricci launched the fairytale fragrance "NINA." Its innovative apple-shaped bottle is as beautiful as a realistic apple and as alluring as a bitten forbidden fruit. Nina is a modern-day fairy, a story told by Nina Ricci, inspired by a woman who is gentle, dreams in her heart, always smiling, and overflowing with charm. Following the release of "NINA Rouge" in 2019, "NINA Extra Rouge" features a velvety, matte red bottle covering the entire bottle. There's even a trace of a bite in the center.

For the collaboration afternoon tea with The Thousand Kyoto, pastry chef Watanabe Shingo will create sweets themed around the apple of love and the magically romantic NINA series fragrances, with women "falling in love" and "being in love." The menu will include sweets adorned with the iconic apple bottle, as well as a variety of dishes filled with the scents of raspberry, rose, and vanilla, inspired by the world of NINA Extra Rouge.

As a gift, a mini bottle (4ml) of NINA Extra Rouge Eau de Parfum will be included. *The first 1,500 customers (one per person at the afternoon tea) will be able to enjoy this gift for the first time at The Thousand Kyoto, ahead of its release in Japan on September 24th.


Recommended Points of "LOVE in Autumn ~Be Yourself in Love and Sweets~"

Fragrance bottle and flavor expressed through candy sculpture
Welcome Dessert "Nina Extra Rouge"


A dish that expresses Nina Ricci's new product, "Nina Extra Rouge," in the form of a sweet. Rose and vanilla espuma and raspberry pulp are enclosed within a candy shell that recreates the apple-shaped bottle. The layered flavors spread throughout the mouth, making this a light dish that allows you to experience the world of Nina Ricci through all five senses.


The top note is the tartness and freshness of raspberry, the middle note is the delicate and elegant scent of rosebud, and the base note is a lingering vanilla scent. These sweets, inspired by the new Nina Extra Rouge fragrance, allow you to experience the charm of Nina Extra Rouge not only through their appearance, but also their taste and aroma. Simply crack the delicate shell and enjoy the treat mixed with the light, melt-in-your-mouth espuma.

◆A wide variety of sweets representing the successive NINA series


The sweets lined up on a stylish tea stand are a menu lineup that represents the collections that Nina Ricci has created to date. Each sweet infused with the essence of the NINA collection includes apple-shaped sable sandwiches and glass jelly inspired by "Nina Rouge," with its striking glossy red bottle, and tarts and macarons with a "Nina Rose" motif that encapsulates the freshness and cheerfulness of rose.

NINA RICCI

Nina Ricci is a French fashion brand founded in Paris in 1932 as an haute couture house. In 1946, the brand launched its perfume department, and the brand's first perfume, "Coeur Joie," was born. In 1948, Nina Ricci released "L'Air du Temps," a signature fragrance that remains a top seller to this day. The Nina series, released in 2006, became famous for its apple-shaped bottle, captivating a new generation of young female fans.

Nina Ricci Nina Extra Rouge
The latest fragrance in the NINA series, "Nina Extra Rouge Eau de Parfum," will be released in Fall 2021. The apple-shaped bottle, inheriting the legacy of "Nina," is clad in an ultra-modern, edgy matte red, accented with a mischievous bite. The fragrance is truly luxurious and elegant. It opens with a green top note of blackcurrant, followed by a light and harmonious blend of rosebud and black tea. An exquisite oriental floral fragrance that eventually settles into a rich, gourmand, sensual scent.
