Minajesty by Nicki Minaj

I have Nicki’s Pink Friday and they don’t resemble each other much, but if you like the first one, you’ll surely like Minajesty. It starts with a natural citrus opening, like lemon and red berries. As it dries down, I detect a very light floral touch of Tiaré. I’d describe it as a bowl of pomegranate and lemon. It lasts days on clothes. Good price, around $20 for 100ml. Approximate longevity 7 hours with good sillage. Scent rating 9, sillage 8, longevity 9.

At first, I liked it, but my daughter told me it smells like pizza 🥺🥺😬. Since then, every time I wear it, it seems to smell like oregano 🤪😅. A very peculiar family opinion.

I own Pink Friday and although they aren’t identical, if you like one, you’ll probably like Minajesty. It’s not as sweet, but rather a perfect balance between fruity and citrusy. I love how the citrus notes stand out on my skin; they feel incredible.

Minajesty is very fruity/citrusy and one of the few in my collection that I don’t regret buying; I got it because I’m a Nicki fan, and it smells exquisite. Although I also own Pink Friday, they don’t resemble each other much; the concept is similar, but the essence is different and evolves more over time. For me, it’s an excellent fragrance for all day; I love how it develops.

I always hesitated to try Nicki’s fragrances due to the notes and the bottles, which seem macabre as you have to ‘remove the head’ to apply them. Focusing on Minajesty: it’s fruity, a mix of red berries and lemon. It reminds me of Nina L’Elixir, but this one has a sweet-fruity base and a vanilla-frangipani finish. In the sun it smells good, but it’s a conventional and boring technique, nothing new. It’s like a ‘buy and don’t complain’ product: accessible, smells good, and has an eye-catching bottle, but in my opinion it’s not worth it. Sillage and longevity are moderate. It’s versatile and justifiable by the price, but unnecessary due to the name. It turns out more attractive if you’re a Nicki fan.

Fascinated; it smells too much like Ralph Lauren Big Pony 2 Women, and it smells delicious. I bought it on recommendation and don’t regret it; the only downside is that it doesn’t last long, after three hours I can’t smell it anymore. The bottle is super pretty and original.

Incredible that production and glamour are missing from this brand’s packaging; they look saturated and unattractive, not making you want to buy. Perhaps the perfume is interesting, but I wouldn’t gift it for that plastic, toy-like, and cheap presentation.

Another blind buy that turned out to be a great surprise. It smells citrusy/fruity, like delicious mango and pear. Excellent for daily wear, not overpowering and perfect for spring and summer. Longevity is regular, but it has the best sprayer of all celebrity fragrances; applied correctly, it lasts longer. I compared it with Pink Friday and this one is better. The bottle is original and huge, like having a doll on the dressing table. A perfect start to my Nicki collection.

Bought it today and it’s a hit: fresh, citrusy with a sweet touch. Very similar to Pink Friday, like its 2.0 version. A great perfume at a low price, I recommend it. Longevity is average; I’d give it 8.5/10, but I think it could last longer.
