What wearers say
“Nice scent of apple with a praline at the background. Apple is mature, sweety, but not sweet. I also can smell a little bit of honey, though it's not listed here. But sillage and longevity is low. I don't know about the older version, but a new one lasts 1-2 hours only. Nevertheless, I'm happy to have Nina in my collection. It's very suitable for office and close spaces. Very feminine and tender!”
“This was a gift. I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise as it's not my preference anymore. But it is a sweet and inoffensive scent - typical of designer fragrances. It also has great sillage and longevity. It's a citrusy, musky apple with some floral in there too. Must be used sparingly on a warm, summer day as it is powdery.”
“Fresh, citrussy, just like the smell of Granny Smith apples. I don't think this is suitable for a perfume, since I find it quite acidic smelling.A lot of green apple with sweet praline, citrus and in the drydown some peony and musk appear.Sillage is moderate, longevity is about 5-7 hours.”
