The story behind the bottle.
Love by Nina, launched in 2009 and created by perfumer Olivier Cresp, balances the bright freshness of fruity and floral notes with a subtle nuttiness that adds depth. The composition opens with vibrant citrus and green accords, which give way to a heart of soft florals and tropical fruits. This is underpinned by an almond base that provides warmth without overpowering the lighter elements. Love by Nina is a fragrance that feels both classic and contemporary — a nod to Nina Ricci's heritage while embracing modern sensibilities.
One or two sprays are sufficient — the fresh and fruity top notes will last for about an hour before giving way to the warm almond base. This fragrance works best during cooler daylight hours when its vibrant character can shine without becoming too heavy.
