The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Les Monstres de Nina Ricci Nina, launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp, is a vibrant Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of sweet, juicy fruits mingled with delicate florals. The composition opens with notes of pear, cassis, lemon, and bergamot, creating an invigorating freshness that transitions into a heart of peony, rose, and jasmine. A base of praline, vanilla, coffee, and coumarin adds warmth and depth, enveloping the wearer in a cocoon of sweetness.

How to wear it

This fragrance is best applied in light layers to allow each note to unfold gradually. The top notes are bright and fleeting, so a second application after an hour can help extend their freshness. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that's both sweet and invigorating.
