The story behind the bottle.
Nina L’Eau, launched in 2013 by Nina Ricci and crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and vitality. The composition opens with bright citrus and fruity notes, such as apple, grapefruit, and mandarin orange, which create an immediate sense of brightness and energy. These top notes seamlessly transition into a heart of cherry, watery notes, and white florals like gardenia and apple blossom, adding layers of sweetness and freshness. The fragrance rounds out with a base of musk that provides warmth and depth without overpowering the overall lightness.
Nina L’Eau is best enjoyed in lighter sprays as its citrus and fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. Allow it to settle for about five minutes before you head out, so that the floral heart and musky base can come into their own.
