The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

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.

How to wear it

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.
