Application Tips
Nina (1987) has a rich base that takes time to bloom, so apply it in layers for a more enduring presence. The aldehydes provide an immediate freshness, but the true depth emerges after about an hour. It pairs well with a light jacket or cardigan, where the scent can gradually unfold throughout the day.
