HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010, Nina L'Elixir by Nina Ricci is a Floral Fruity fragrance crafted by Olivier Cresp. The composition opens with the zesty freshness of Amalfi Lemon and Caipirinha, followed by the sweetness of Red Berries and Candy Apple. This fruity exuberance transitions into a heart of Jasmine, which balances the overall sweetness with floral elegance. The base notes of Musk, Amber, and Cedar lend warmth and depth to this lively scent.
One to two sprays are sufficient as the fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The scent builds warmth over time, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet subtle presence.
