Nina by Nina Ricci

2006Christian Dussoulier, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, Olivier Cresp

“Amalfi lemon and lime in an apple bottle — Nina's iconic youthful feminine.”

citrus

sweet

fresh

The 'apple-shaped bottle' launch that became Nina Ricci's best-known modern feminine fragrance — Christian Dussoulier's 2006 Nina Ricci release. A fruity-floral feminine with Amalfi lemon and lime at the top, a Granny Smith apple-praline-peony-datura heart, and an apple tree-musk-cedar base. Performs strongest in spring, leans daytime, with light projection.
