Nina
“Amalfi lemon and lime in an apple bottle — Nina's iconic youthful feminine.”
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, lasts 4–6 hours with light projection.
The take
