Nina (1987) Nina Ricci for women

This was one of the best perfumes ever made. I do not know why it was discontinued. Absolutely marvellous, nothing to do with the new Nina.

To my nose this is Ivoire de Balmain, perfected. While Ivoire in EDT is a little crude and angular, this one is his younger, prettier sister. The picture atop is a very good way to interpret this fragrance - it is like a transparent silk mist surrounding you. Impossibly feminine.

Its not for me but like a lot of others it brings back memories. For me of my old ballet teacher Wilma. The most glamourous woman I can remember.........

uuu recuerdo perfectamente el olor de ese perfume, parece que fue ayer cuando al ir a las tiendas departamentales me probaba ese perfume, despues de adolescente logre tener una botella, ultimamente lo habia buscado y no tenia idea de que se habia dejado de hacer, era perfecto! he buscado olores que se acerquen a esa fragancia, pero solo una me ha podido causar ese sentimiento de nostalgia, se llama insolense de guerlain y aunque no es de la gama de aromas, me causo una grata sensacion al olerlo...espero que este perfume salga algun dia como edicion limitada

This smells just like soap to me, and older women giving hugs when I was a small child. A nice way to remember, but definitely not something I would wear. I have a tiny bottle I'm not sure what to do with if someone would like to swap.

For the people that can't find the original Nina, I have found that Ferre, eau de Parfum is a pretty good substitute, whenever I wear it it takes me back to my childhood when mum used to dab it on me when I had been good! Still looking to find the original Nina, that bottle was gorgeous :)

I simply don't understand, why this perfect scent was discontinued! If anybody knows where to find it, please tell.

i have a bottle of "nina" that i recieved as a gift many years ago. i can't use it. change of taste i guess. today it smells bad to me.

Some time ago i have tried it in a pure parfum concentration and was disgussed by it. It was very weird scent to me, not that i imagine it would be. Ever since i thought i dislike this scent until today. Today i have tried the EDT version of "Nina" and was really positivly surprised by the difference in fragrance. I personally like the EDT version of this much more than pure parfum concentration which is an exception, usually i do otherwise. It is so fresh and light! Peach makes the perfect balance for the mimose note mixed with a lemon note. What i like about it that the lemon note here is so delicate that it doesn´t becomes too much citrusy fragrnace but just perfect for summer and spring. Usually i don´t like citrus perfumes or too green perfumes, but with this one i have found THE most perfect spring scent for me! A really different fragrance! I haven´t smelled anything like it before. And i like a bottle very much! Need to buy myself a couple of bottles of this as long as it is still available! I won´t ever understand any excuse for discontinueing this masterpiece!

If this Company had more smarts and insight, and if they really could understand what is good for women and Nina Ricci's own interests, it wouldn't discontinue one of the three best perfumes of all time.
They lose first!
Sorry, guys but I can't buy your girlish colognes!

Ohhh Lamerienda, I SOOOO MUCH agree with you!! Nina Ricci was a real masterpiece supplier!! And although I love their new perfumes too, they chose to become a more trendy & girly house. But they used to be alllll about WOMEN!!!!

this vintage classic is an absolute gorgeous perfume. loved the basil and marigold scents blending with the more sweet notes of rose and jasmine. as a group all these scents blended into a beautiful soft honey like potion. imo, this was a close to perfect perfume.

I allways go to parfumery store and can hardly find one new fragrance I'd like to buy. I don't understand why so many beautiful perfumes like Nina Ricci collection have been discontinued and it is such a pitty! Todays Nina Ricci parfumes are no match for these old luxurious scents and Lalique flacones which our mothers used to own.

Nina Ricci classics are just AMAZING!!! I am rediscovering them all over again!!
SOOO fantastic!

I also would like it comes back in that original bottle! It so lovely and elegant, it's a shame Nina Ricci doesn't produce the best one!

PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!! I always sneaked in my mum's room to wear this perfume... I was only able to buy it once and now it has been stopped? :(

This was a Queen among fragrances - my "signature" for over 10 years - when heard it was not being continued visited every perfume shop and chemist and even bought a tester from one shop to keep me going. Why oh Why did they stop making this one - they still make Chanel 5 which goes very powdery on me very quickly - Nina lasted and lasted. Please, please bring it back. Alexandrarae

It is a very delicate green mossy perfume, forest like. I love it a lot!!

One of my first loves - the ones that are never forgotten and always sorely missed. It is very complex, and it is difficult to separate the notes - but the result is a honey like...wild honey like, elegant, feminine elixir! How could they discontinue THIS one? It is a true, classic gem, a pearl among pearls. It has all the best qualities a woman may wish in a perfume - subtle,yet alluring sex appeal, unbelievable syllage, the uniqueness like no other!
Gotta have it back!

Oh my gosh! I was reminded of this Nina when I was shopping for another fragrance last night. What a glorious scent this was, right up there in terms of opulent femininity with the likes of First, Chamade, and Amouage Dia and Jubilation 25. I had bought the lotion in a promotional set with a spray perfume gift when it first came out. As much as I loved it, I think I was too young to truly appreciate it. What a shame it's no longer made....

I cannot believe there are so few reviews for this lovely fragrance. I really, really, REALLY, miss this original Nina. This was my signature scent for years. I especially preferred it in the eau de toilette verses the eau de parfum. There is such a wonderful balance in the eau de toilette. For those who have never experienced Nina, I like to describe it as a sophisticated, elegant, and a little bit smoldering sexy fragrance. The marigold is the only note that I can distinctly identify. Sadly discontinued, it's been replaced with a new Nina that is candy-like, as so many fragrances tend to be these days. I've never found anything that comes close to the original Nina, try as I may, nothing compares. Oh, how I wish they would bring this back!!!
