Fragrance again - Nina


I just love the shape of this bottle - a red apple with silver cap and leaves. I bought the smallest bottle, which is a cute size. A tiny apple. It is a sweet toffee apple scent when you first sprayed it, then it settled onto a powdery vanilla-y finish. It reminded me of another scent, probably Pure Wish from Chopard.

Taken from OsMoz:
Story
Nina is a ‘young woman living under a lucky star’. This graceful, romantic ‘fairy for our times’ is looking for an unusual fragrance, ‘a magical elixir’ with sweet, fruity and mouthwatering waves of scent. For her, Nina Ricci invented Nina, a fairy-tale fragrance in a love-apple shaped bottle.

Perfume description
A fresh, fruity, mouthwatering floral. An opening that sparkles with Calabrian lemon and Caipirinha lime. The heart reveals the charm of “love apple” (candy apple, in French), paired with floral notes of peony and moonflower. Then a sweet vanilla praline note announces the trail: apple-tree wood and musks. Perfume designers: Olivier Cresp and Jacques Cavallier, Firmenich.

Top note : Calabrian Lemon, Caipirinha Lime
Middle note : Love Apple, Peony, Fleur de Lune, Praline
Base note : Apple Tree, White Cedar, Musks

Bottle
An apple-shaped bottle, as raspberry-pink and bright red as a candy apple. The fruit is decorated with shiny metal leaves and stem. The bottle reinterprets the shapes of an earlier Nina Ricci perfume: ‘Fille d’Eve’ (Daughter of Eve).
