Video

Nina is a new modern fairytale fragrance aimed at younger audience. Nina is an elegant floral-fruity gourmand fragrance, the scent of candied fruits. The composition starts sparkly and spontaneous, just like a carefree laughter with the fresh citrus notes of lemon and lime. The sweet gourmand heart is juicy and caramelly due to candied apple, praline note and vanilla whose opulent veil wraps the softly sweet peony and the Moonflower. Finally the apple tree, white cedar and balmy musk notes are touching your skin with their warm and soft sensuality. The fragrance was created by Olivier Cresp and Jacques Cavallier in 2006. The new Nina fragrance has replaced the old one with the same name, created in 1987.

I can smell soft and sweet lemon notes mixed with something like caramel. At the same time, a touch of flowers; wich makes this fragrance elegant and luxurious.

I think this is one of those perfumes wich are perfect to be the signature scent of a young woman, even a teenager who wants a sweet but fresh and feminine perfume.

The sweetness of the praline and the fruity touch makes me remember the candy apples that I used to eat when I was a child.

Nina is very easy to wear. Is perfect like signature scent, great for the first date, the office, the highschool, day, night, hot, cold...

When I use this women and men always give me a lot of compliments. Guess what? a couple of days ago I was in the street and a woman ask me for my perfume. This was a great surprise for me, because I love to wear perfumes wich attract the attention of people.

I'm generally quite hard to impress when it comes to fruity-florals, but I've got to say Nina is really quite a beautiful little fragrance. This doesn't just smell delicious. It smells downright *edible*, and I think there have been a few reviewers who have said the same.

In any case, this is the perfect everyday fragrance for a young girl (but I don't think the perfume excludes more mature women): it's sweet, fresh and heady. I love how it lasts practically the whole day. That, and I just *love* the bottle.

Amazing fragrance. One of my favorite. One of those smells you simply want to eat they smell so scrumptious. Sweet, feminine, creamy - just what a woman needs to feel wonderful.

A few years ago I thought this was the perfect fragrance for me (although I was above 25). Fresh, citrusy at the beginning, then turning into caramel-apple... Later it became just too trendy for my taste - you know, the Barbie-like girl in pink got up the bus and had Nina on. I grew tired of it somehow. I don't know the flankers though...

I can't say that I like apples in fragrances, but between fragrances with the noticeable red apple note, I think that this fragrance is the best. The red apple note is very noticeable and really reminds me a scent of a real red apple a lot. And the vanilla note brings sweetness to this fragrance. But at the same time this fragrance also has a freshness and a lightness of the lemon note. So this fragrance seems to me sweet, fresh and yummy. It is not one of my favorite fragrances, but I think that it smells really nice and even makes my mood better.

This scent is like fairytale :) Firstly I though that it's freshy-pinky perfume for nobody but teenagers. So it was pretty surprise when I smelled it for the first tmie. And it was fabulous! Truly warm, fresh but kind of yummy, crunchy and red apple with base of chocolate pralines. When I smell it I think about Snow White. I think that Nina is even prettier and more magical than famous Lolita Lempicka :)

I didn't like this at first when I've been smelling this from the bottle. My husband has wanted to buy this scent for me for a long time but I've always turned it down because of the sharp lemon at the beginning.

Anyway I finally tested it on my skin and as it dries down the lemon fades away and it turns actually quite pretty and delicious. And it also has some sentimental value to me as being a perfume my husband is so attracted to.

If I had to use one adjective to describe the perfume it would be 'cute'. It's not overpowering or offensive in any way nor very unique but I do find it comforting and easy to wear.

This scent is okay. It's very sweet, feminine and a little powdery smelling. After 2 hours I could no longer smell it and have to reapply.

I have to disagree with the previous poster on the lasting power. It must be an individual body chemistry thing because this is one of the most long lasting perfumes that I own. A spritz on the wrists in the morning is still noticeable by the time I go to bed that night.

i quite like the smell. it's very sweet, and the apple accord is nice and fresh without being too cloying. It's also no very complex either. I like it, surprisingly, considering i almost never go for very sugary florals.

EDIT: it turns out that I got a fake last time, in regards to "no lasting power". it actually lasts a very long time, at least 4 hours on me. no fakes!! >:(

First of all, beautiful bottle. Led by the bottle and the Ricci name, I got my hands on a little vial of this the other day.
I applied it to one of my palms (naughty I know, but I had other perfume on and I couldn't wait!).
I'm afraid my overriding impression from this was that of cheap hairspray.
Knowing I needed to wear it properly I tried it another day. It fared a little better this time.
I didn't find this fragrance overtly 'fruity', otherwise I wouldn't have been able to wear it. Rather than toffee apple, I got a hint of a very strong alcoholic cocktail with a very subtle hint of some kind of fruit.
I found Nina wearable and not unpleasant but overall I would class it as a modern, synthetic and dare I say, cheap, smell.
Not too unpleasant, but just not me.

I guess this fragrance was made to be worn by princesses.It is so young,classy,full of joy.
It is sweet,indeed,but the sweetness is a classy one.It's a mature romantic smell,it's the smell of a deep autumn or a Christmas winter with all those festive holidays and smiles and warm hearts.This is what I imagine when I smell Nina.
Now,about the fragrance itself.The top note is definetly the lemon,but it fades out very quickly,so if you don't like citrusy fragrances,don't panic,soon the middle notes will reveal themselves and you'll find out how nice the note of the apple and the praline can be combined.It's not a sweet,neither fruity smell.It is a pleasant, full smell,though it has few notes.The drydown is a passive musk that still holds the full smell from the middle notes.
I cand see a teenager wearing that,as well as a mature romantic women,that wants to remember some love or joy moments from her life.It can be interpreted as both a mature-nostalgic or a full of youth fragrance.
And of course,the bottle is a masterpiece!

I've always been drawn to the Nina bottle, though for some reason, until recently, I'd never really given the fragrance a proper chance. I must say that the bottle looks as though it was pulled directly out of a fairy tale - it's my favorite of all of the apple-inspired perfume bottles available.

The reason I probably shied away from Nina the first time I tried it, is that it is, at first spray, a bit sour. My boyfriend likened it to gummy candy, and I have to admit that it's pretty close to the truth. The candy-shop feel fades rather quickly, though, and is replaced by a floral, musky warmth that is balanced with just the right amount of sweetness.

I definitely smell an apple-freshness that lasts throughout the dry-down of this scent, though it's far sweeter than most apple-themed fragrances I've tried. If you enjoy apple accords, but prefer a bit of sweetness with a sour Granny Smith, don't give up on Nina after only the first few minutes on a strip or your skin. Give it 15-30 minutes and you may be surprised to find that Nina is as much about toffee and flowers as it is about sour apples. If you really do enjoy a prominent sour apple accord and want one that lasts, I'd recommend DKNY Be Delicious, instead.

I can't really think of another fragrance to compare this to; I find it unique and it really stands alone in the fruity-floral genre. I do think that it can appeal to people of all ages, and not just a younger audience. The lasting power of this scent is quite decent for an eau de toilette; it lasted a couple of hours on my skin before it really started to fade away, and lasted much longer where I'd sprayed it onto my hair and scarf. It's light and inoffensive, yet pleasant and vibrant enough to transition into the perfect scent for a night out.

it's funny, i've always looked at this perfume when i went to the fragrance section of the drug store and one day i finally decided to try it. it was love at first smell! the sweet mix of apple and lemon were hard to resist. i think this perfume can be used day or night because it is not overpowering and it lasts a long time.

This is a decent and unoffensive everyday scent that any woman could wear. It smells nice but doesn't really stand out. I do smell the apple, lemon and caramel but the lasting power has to be the weakest of any perfume that I own. Well, this one isn't for me. The only thing impressive about the scent is the bottle and my perfumes aren't bought for that reason. o.0

It's so popular, that I would wear it only for staying indoors.
Nina is pretty common on streets and just one sniff was enough to understand that you really smelled it so many times.

It smells of citrusy apple with touch of peony, then citruses just fade and you get candied fruity smell.

Maybe not very original, but Nina was made to be popular and easy to like and wear. That's it.

Those who like perfumes as olfactive experiences wouldn't find here anything interesting.Those who love sweet ones will love this one too.

If I would be given a bottle of this, I would wear it at home with pleasure, you just can't hate it.

Lasts enough.

Thanks alot for sharing..
actually you made me worry! oh did I buy the fake one?hahaha..
you bought the lighter red for cheaper and I bought it for expensive price..

I am also confused as both bottles bought from Duty free shops in Egypt.
and at ordinary stores in Egypt they only know the light red one as Nina.

I believe we need Nina herself to reveal that.

Or Maybe as Sofiapap said , they are just different editions.. but I wouldn't believe they would have big difference in price..

We need Nina to decide.

I have the same problem! I have the dark red Nina, bought from an expensive department store here in Australia. and only one month ago, I got myself a MUCH cheaper one from eBay(from the US one),for about 1/3 of the RRP in the department store. However, the one from eBay is really light, it's a little bit lighter than the colour in the 5th picture on the right hand side here.

However, they both smell the same and have same lasting power. and the seller said it is 100% authentic.

So far, I'm pretty sure there's only one red version of Nina. Can the color difference due to different ACTUAL manufacturing places, like in France or in the US? even though both of them say Made in France, or...the lighter color one is a fake one?

I am confuesed too.

Hmmm..Well they have packaged Nina in several different bottles so maybe you just have one of the different packaged bottles of it. If the scent is the same then all is great right. Maybe they charged more because its a special bottle. They typically do that. Its a good thing its not Pretty Nina cuz the one you have is 100x nicer!

I own the showegel that goes with this perfume. I must say that I love the smell of it! Beacuse nothing beats the smell of sugared praline and candied apples in the morning! Anyways I believe that the scent of the gel very much resembles to the scent of the perfume itself. So my first impression is that it smells very citrusy. But later when that citrusy smell has disappeared it starts to smell like candied apples and praline. Which is really yummy beacuse it smells like a bakery! You can tell that there is some musk going on in the background but on me the praline is very dominant. I think that bottle is ever so cute btw! I think that this is a very young,livley and spirited scent. Perfect for a teen or someone who is young at heart.

this is a zesty, spicy, woody and rich perfume. Very sensual. This is my all time favorite. Just to set the record straight, Twilight ripped off this bottle! This perfume has been out since 1987 before the books were even written!!!
PS Do not expect other Nina Ricci perfumes to be the same; the rest are very floral.

Aww.. I was disappointed when I tried this because the description sounded like something I'd love (and the bottle is beautiful). When it first touched my skin, it was nice; bright, sparkling, fruity. But in a split second it changed to a heavy apple smell that drowned everything else out.

Nina is in one word; sweet. So sweet that had it been candy, it would have given me a tooth-ache.

Generally I love sugary sweet fragrances, but in this case I couldn't help feeling like a giggly, fourteen year old teenage girl when I wore this scent, which was not how I wanted to feel.

This fragrance reminds me of toffee apples, fairy floss and candy shops. Only this fragrance and Showtime by Kylie Minogue makes me feel this way.

Nina opens with a sweet but tarty lemon note, almost like lemon-flavoured candies rather than the sour, citrusy burst most of us are used to. For once peony isn't the dominant note letting the apple and praline practically star in their own show.

I'm not sure where the sweetness in the drydown comes from because all I can smell is sugar, sugar and more sugar. Not a hint of musk, apple tree or cedar.

Upon further sniffing I can detect a slight vanilla note hidden in the base notes which does give this scent a softer and more feminine finish.

Overall, sweet scents, (which did appeal to me a few years ago), are not likely to excite me anymore as I begin to look more towards becoming a woman and finding fragrances to suit a young woman rather than a girl. In my personal opinion, Nina is a teenage fragrance, I just can't picture a woman actually pulling this one off.

Great flavor, very delicate, and somehow refine innocent. In the beginning you can feel very clearly the fruit sweet of a red apple, but you can miss the lime. Later you can to feel vanilla, musk and peony. Very sweet and romantic perfume, really like a fairy tale character. This scent is delicious and tempting just like a caramelized apple
Aroma is like child's innocence, but at the same time tempter and seductive.
I love it!

the first time i smelled this one, i thought lot's of "nice" words like cheap, soapy and etc. but then i got a rally great chance to buy it for such a low price, so that was a great bargain-why not? :D
and then Nina grew on me and became such a wonderful perfume: not cheap, soapy on my skin, but very sophisticated and in some kinda way even sexy ;) love this :)*

A chipper fragrance with a candid heart. The opening citrus notes make it a bit different than most fruity perfumes. The citrus top is unsweetened and therefore is very refreshing.

It reminds me of Lolita Lempicka-not because of the bottle wich is similar-but because of the sugary gourmand notes. For a few moments while I was wearing Nina Ricci, it smelled exactly the same as Lolita Lempicka; when the gourmand notes arose. Nina Ricci has more natural feeling notes than Lolita Lempicka, giving the idea of a garden or spring time, nature and purity.

The sillage is of medium to low strength and the fixation and lasting power is weak. Could serve well as a gift perfume being a bit unique, darling, innocent, and gentle scent,
in a collectible bottle.

I personally did not like it very much.
ItÅ› not my style- and I thought it a bit boring, not so stimulating for me. However, I base my review on itÅ› positive aspects and qualities and the idea that it not a bad perfume and generally enjoyable.

It seems like it's going to be my signature perfume for a long time! I would buy dozens of parfumes, so I let myself have only 3 at once (otherwise I'd spend all the money I have on perfumes :) Nina is already "blocking" one place on this list, because I couldn't live without it!

UPDATE: 5 at once. I'm worth it...

It's so universal and most of all - authentically beautiful. When I tested it for the first time I couldn't smell anything after an hour. Fortunately, the fragrance actually stays for 5-6 hours.

I'm during my first 50 ml, but I'm already planning buying the next 80 ml.

(Whatever you think: this is not a scent for pink Barbie girls or overemotional romantic princesses. It would bring a lot of charm to your everyday life :)

I tried this ages ago from one of those little wipes they send in the mail. All I remember was thinking it was "okay" - a bright apple-y scent. Nothing special.

I had ordered a bunch of samples through ebay and Nina was one of them in the lot. I've been wearing it on and off for about two weeks now, and I have to say that I'm not at all impressed with it. It smells like a caramel covered green apple, or a green apple crisp dessert. It's a nice light fragrance, but for me there's nothing appealing about it- except for the beautiful bottle.

I remember it like it was yesterday... I had just finished my second bottle of Vera Wang Princess and I was in Macy's about to buy another. I walked through the door and was offered a sample of Nina. I instantly fell in love, probably because it was sweet and a bit apple-y and it was mid fall, apple picking season in Maine! Well, I wore it religiously through the fall, but when winter hit I suddenly was sickened by the scent. Instead of the pure notes of fresh red apple, candy and spices I got a synthetic and bitter note that lingered longer than the others. I ended up swapping it. I think this scent is great for fall, but not great for me anymore.

I have this one and I barely use it..I just find it's smell to strong for my taste. It's has long lasting smell but I just didnt like that it gave me headaches so I plan to give away to my friend :(

a perfume suitable for little girls under 12 years old. A perfume for kids. Would be ridiculous on a teen or a mature woman. Only goes for kids.

I am in love with this fragrance. I love sweet scents and the way the sweetness blends with the fruitiness of the apple, it's just gorgeous. The bottle is perhaps one of the cutest I've ever seen (cutest I own anyway!). Staying power is so-so...better than a body spray but not as good as I would expect from an edt). I've had to decant some into a smaller spray bottle to refresh throughout the day.

A slightly more refined riff on the apple scents that have been so popular lately. If original DKNY "Be delicious" is refreshing apples front and center, "Nina" is more like apple blossom- tart apple with a floral undercurrent sweetened by sugar. The apple peeks through the floral, not vice versa.

I like this perfume ...not in love but it has a good smell ...and it smells a little apple, a little fresh and it has a drop of sweetnes ....it's not a special perfume but not commune , it's a perfume for cold days and it works alsou for summer days .

The magical commercial made me curious but after trying the perfume, there really is Noting special about it, and I was completely disappointed. It Doesn't smell like apples, it smells like cough syrup.

Sorry this scent doesn't quite do it for me, the fruit mixes with something a little more earthy maybe the cedar or musk and the combination is odd. I tried it and I ended up washing it off, definitely try this before buying. The deeper notes of musk and cedar came out but the apple remained and it made me quite sick.

It's a nice scent in a beautiful bottle. I liked the combination of the lemon with the apple, its sweetness makes you feel kind of romantic. It lasts long on me and so i don't have to spray myself all the time.

Nevertheless, the cedar is one of the notes that i don't like to smell and unfortunately it's a fragrance that i'll forget very quickly. It didn't impress me much.

This perfume is Awesome...the Scent of it that is. But VERY unfortunately has to be applyed I swear every hour or two as it fades away very quickly. Something this good shouldn't have to be applyed so often. Thats the one MAYJOR flaw of this perfume! But still is totally worth the buy....

Clean, sweet, fruity and fun! Great for spring/summer. Sugary lemons at first soon disappear into a crisp and candied (toffee, praline) apple. Lots of vanilla in this one and in the dry down! The cotton musk reminds me of fresh laundry. Its like Bath and Body Works Cotton Blossom and then add the candied apples and this is what it smells like to me! I'm not sure about the lasting power because I keep spraying it on. I love the smell. :)

Update: Lasting power is good and the silage is fantastic!

I liked the fragrance from the first time I tried it. The beginning is very fruity and fresh, while the finish is warm and musky, mmm :))) Although there were a lot of people who said that its staying power is not good, I find its endurance very good - I can even smell it on my wrist on the next morning. According to my observations, men really love this fragrance - it is sweet, cosy and sexy and it always drives their compliments. This is one of the best winter fragrances for me!

You really can smell the candied apples! YUM! A lot of my male friends love spritzing themselves with this. They love the sweet scent that isn't overbearing. It's a girly girl scent. Not to seduce but just to make you feel cute and pretty! :)

One of my favorites! I just don't like the staying power. Hope it could last all day long! :(

I love this perfume. It's tart and sweet but not overbearing. The drydown is very woody and mellow. Generally, it's just a very nice, inoffensive scent that would probably suit anyone.
02/14/09 15:12:06

My favorite! You can really smell the sweetness and the lemon/lime smell first, then it softens out. I receive a lot of compliments when I wear it. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a lot of staying power at least on me anyway, but I love love love it!

Nina is the first fragrance that I bought in my life. It is so unique that I have not found any fragrance that smells similar to it. It smells wonderful,taking my imagination into an unbelievable world. It is not just an apple fragrance. The combination of notes gives something that is just what I was looking for. The dry down is like creamy corn soup. I love it. It is the magical fragrance for me. I think that I will have this one for life.

This is not bad at all.

I feel that it is NOT a winter scent so maybe some people who recieve it as a christmas present may be dissappointed. BUT DONT BE!

I feel this is perfect for those warm summer evenings. Its young, fresh, warm and sweet... not bad. Not entirey my style but i do wear it 3 or 4 x a month... and it is BEAUTIFUL!!

Well, since so many people said it's not long lasting, so: I decided to wear some lotion at first (Fruttini Cherry Vanilla) & later I wore Nina..
Yeah!! it's not that long lasting.. it stays on about 4 hours. The first 2 hours, I could smell it very well, & it starts to fade gradually afterwards.
During the first two hours, I could say, "Ya, it's a magical fragrance.." I really really like it.. it smells soooo good on my skin.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't buy a full bottle of it because of its lasting power:(
But, I'm sure I'll miss it.. so, I'll just grab some samples when I do!

I'm a bit disappointed. Reading reviews I was expecting something extraordinary... but testing it on my skin all I felt was lemon and sourness first, and then something like fruity bubble gum. And it's not long lasting..

When i tried this smell i was blown away, It was sweet, and lady-like. I think its a very optimistic scenet that smells like a calm candy apple.

at first it is a very delicious, fruity and sweet fragrance, with the notes of apple and caramel being dominating, making it very attractive. After half an hour all these notes disappear and it turns out to be an ordinary smell, which doesn't last at all.

I keep trying this fragrance to understand its great reviews. It's quite charming and sparkly initially, there are notes I really love--like the apple in daisy or light blue. But there's more sweetness and caramel and vanilla. This is a fragrance I could only wear on my wrists or pulse points far from my face. I love sniffing the dry down in puffs--then I register a lovely green fresh something at the core. It's quite long lasting on my skin.

The opening is what made me like this fragrance so much!! It's tart, but just enough to balance the sweetness of the candied apple!!
The peony adds a softer silky texture to gently mingle with the gourmet praline vanilla!!
All this is just an explosion of smells calming in the end with speciffic scent of tree bark!

I got a tester of this today from a department store and wasn't sure about it at first as it's very sweet with a strong toffee apple smell which I found a bit startling at first! However, it evolves into a very nice, sweet but not sickly scent although I don't smell any lemon in it at all, even though supposedly it has some in. It's really started to grow on me and I may have to buy myself a bottle!

Very popular fragrance. I bought it for 2 years ago. I like it, but not too long lasting. Fresh accords, then some sweetness (maybe because of the praline). Delicious!

At first I barely noticed that I had put on the perfume...it was gone in minutes. But I didn´t give up, tried it again and it smelled strawberries and citrus. Very nice. Later it was more of a warm and sweet candy/vanilla flavour.
I think it´s okey but I would have liked it better if it was fresher and less sweet.

I love it, but it`s totally wasted on my skin. I can enjoy it only for a mere hour - and then - puff - it`s gone!All this caramel-ey /apple-ey sweetness... I was very upset and traded it.
And it is such a good antidepressant too.
Wish I could get it in pure perfume.

I really like the bottle but the fragrance is a little to soft for me. I guess it depends on your skin. It smells sweet but fades quickly on me. It's really a shame because the bottle is sooo cute and the scent isn't bad at all, it just doesn't last at all. For the price of this, I expect a fragrance be noticeable on my skin for atleast a couple of hours not just go in 5 minutes. It's not worth the money to me, there better fragrances out there with better prices.

the advert made me adore this fragrance but as soon as i bought it i got bored of it very quickly. it is a sweet scent and i do like sweet scents but it is too citrusy for me. its smells like toffee apple.
in conclusion i am not a big fan of the smell but the bottle looks gorgeous and i really do show it off on my dressing table!

I really love this fragrance. Very feminine, sweet scent - citrusy top notes, but then it melts into a toffee apple, warm scent that attracts alot of good attention. =P The bottle is the cutest thing as well - almost bought it just at seeing it, but on smelling the juice inside...almost bought a boxload. xD Only complaint I have is that the staying power on me really isn't that great - I'm a two spray girl, and it only lasts maybe 4 hours. Or maybe my expectations are too high for an EDT...

After being told I do not like anything :), I'd like to re-write my review: Nina is a very femminine fragrance (btw, I like it a lot). It's constructed beautifully, it's very well balanced and elegant. But in my humble opinion, such a sweet fragrnce should have been more sexy.

I tried it today, my first reaction was no, then after 10 min yes, now back at home I pronounce for myself - no. It's too sweet, and I believe it can be nice for someone. It could be well suited for a girl from 15 to 17, non-broody, bubbly, extroverted type who likes to attract attention of many. It is also too mediocre.

But it is very optimistic, bright and girlish scent. I'd like to wear it in winter, when everything smells on Christmas and New Year holidays, it is fantastic ;o) Especially if you are tired of luxurious scents.
