The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Nina Fantasy by Nina Ricci, launched in 2012 and crafted by perfumers Olivier Cresp and Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of youthful sweetness. The composition opens with pear and mandarin orange, which create an immediate sense of freshness and playfulness. As it develops, cherry blossom and heliotrope bring a delicate floral character, while rose adds depth. The base notes of sugar, vanilla, and holly evoke a warm, powdery comfort, making Nina Fantasy a scent that feels both bright and enveloping.

How to wear it

One spritz is enough to capture the bright top notes, but for longer-lasting warmth, apply two sprays and let it settle before dressing. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room.
