and oh yes, it's too bad that when you get the gift box, you don't get the original zaitsev trademark bottle...:(
The tones remind of B.U. Black Diamonds, and possibly a little of Gabriela Sabbatini too, although it's been too long since I've smelled that. So, the scent itself is nothing new. The composition reminds me of the one from Moments by Priscilla Presley, it starts of mysterious then has a fresh heart and then comes together. Well, moments did/does, Nikita doesn't, everything abruptly stops and you have a soft, but musky end smell. The dry down as someone said earlier is okay, nothing special though, it really reminds of B.U. Black diamonds or slightly Perspective woman by MEXX. Even though I don't like musk in perfumes, I still wanted to give this a try. So I'm keeping it. Good for when you go out for a party, just wait 5 more minutes before you go outside, cause the musk can be a nose full at first use. The fragrance, bottle and presentation are exactly what they should be, kinda like moschino, no big surprises, very direct. I got the gift package, unintentionally, and the body lotion is a pleasant suprise, cause you don't smell the musk so much!
I bought the EDT on ebay from the Netherlands and I find it disgusting. Smells like cheap departmentstore fragrance and makes me a headache. Not at all to compare to Maroussia.
I´m in love with this perfume. So special, it is like "Crystal Noir" but it is elegant! I feel coconut, a comfortable vanilla. I can´t live withou it!!
Im also after this and Im in AU - if anyone can help please would be wonderful!
Where can I buy it in Italy(perticulary in Milan)? Grazie! )))
Today I'm wearing a T-shirt and I can smell the "Nikita" drydown (3 days after applying).
Okay - now the basenote/drydown smells very much like Casmir/Chopard and Vanilla Fields/Coty.
A very pleasant, round and well-balanced warm "oriental". A soft-spicy/vanilla/amber scent. A very soft smell of coconut in the drydown. I like NIKITA from the first sniff, but I didn't buy it, because it stands very close to the skin. Too close for my taste. I miss a wow-effect and I need more power in a mysterious scent. You can buy it in Holland. 30 ml EDT 12-19 Euro.
Who can buy me this perfume and send me to Poland?
It smels almost the same as Versace Crystal Noir!
For all you people going nuts to have this one (like I was) and you just don't seem to be able to get it, it really has a lot in common with amor amor tentation!
Hi Alyssa,
Are you in Holland? Because that is where I bought it.
Can you please tell me where to buy it?? I heard about it and was blowed away!! I Love vanilla and tiaré..
THANX!!
FINALLY this came available in Holland! It is really beautiful!! Cute little bottle!! It has a lot in common with Amor Amor Tentation. It has Datura flower in it as well.
Well worth the money for sure!!

I got today my cute little bottle of NIKITA and i m blown right away yet by the first sniff. awesome spicy and fruity, never smellt something like that, so dark, so mysterious, so feminin and sexy! wow! have to try this tomorrow on my skin! review following.
how to find? indeed not an easy to do mission. for me it was a lucky punch on a french trading site from a privat person.
guess in france it's availe in many stores. but in internet quite difficult at least!
add note: quite unsatisfied about the drydown... :( not than remarkable than the opening hmmm and staying power is weaker than expected. :(
this sits unfortunately really too close on skin :( it would be so beautiful if it was a little stronger... maybe should layer it by applying twice.
i'm tendig to buy amor amor tentation instead.....
HI IAM LOOKING FOR THIS PERFUME ,WHERE IS IT POSSIBLE TO BUY IT ON LINE? THANKS
I'm trying Nikita for the first time today, I bought it unsniffed and so far I'm enjoying it... the first notes are spicy and then it's all about the tiare flower, a very strong note blended with amber and vanilla.
I can't barely smell the musk or the sandalwood!
If you love tiare flower and want a strong scent of it for Winter (and not that tipycal exotic and tropical scent of tiare that is used in Summer), you must try it!
For now is a strong, heavy scent with a fantastic sillage and lasting (I'm wearing it since noon - 12.pm)and I already received a compliment from my bestfriend!
I'm realy enjoying this one... now it will have to pass the boyfriend's oppinion!=)
where can I buy it. I've been looking internet and I don't find it anywhere...
Oh, people. I bought this one today after a quick sniff. Try this, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The vanilla and amber come out so wonderfully in this. I also smell the paprika, which is an exhilarating touch in this. Lovely, lovely lovely. And like Maroussia, this scent does follow you, despite being soft. Use with moderation!
Edit :
It's been five hours now, and it has dried down to a nice vanilla with amber. Very, very good.
I've gotten a few PMs about where I've purchased this. If you live in Europe and the Dutch store chain 'Kruidvat' exists in your country (I think it is limited to the BENELUX, sadly enough), you should be able to find it there for a mere €15.
Nikita is a male name.There are girls that are named Nikita,and these girls are masculine,powerfull and determined.I think this particular fragrance expresses power and stability.The fragrance starts soft,spicy,but it becomes stable and very pleasant with its base notes.
I do like this fragrance,the only russian one,i think.
