Nina by Nina Ricci, launched in 2006 and created by Olivier Cresp, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, and Christian Dussoulier, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that helped popularize the fruity-gourmand style among mainstream designer florals. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like Amalfi lemon and lime, followed by Granny Smith apple and praline, creating a toffee-apple effect that's both fresh and sweet. The heart of peony and datura adds floral depth before settling into a base of musk and Virginia cedar for warmth and longevity.
Its glossy apple-shaped bottle is a modern update of a 1952 Lalique design originally created for Nina Ricci’s Fille d'Eve perfume, tying it to the brand's rich heritage.

Two sprays on pulse points will allow the toffee-apple top notes to mingle with the floral heart over time. The fragrance is best worn during cooler weather when its warmth feels most inviting.
