  It didn’t remind me of the original Nina at all. It’s very gourmand. At first, I only sensed a sweet smell, sugar and vanilla, but over time those notes faded and the others emerged, and honestly, it stayed as a very good gourmand.

  It smells delicious, like glazed feet with a subtle and pleasant floral touch. ‘It connects with my inner child’ could be its slogan. On my skin it smells divine; in the end, it’s like my favourite sweets (strawberries with cream) with marshmallows and sweet dust, all without being cloying, which is great. I see it on women who wrap themselves in tender and feminine thoughts and surroundings, without necessarily being immature. I agree with Aquaura: ‘it inspires purity, delicacy, sweetness’. It reminds me of characters from Korean dramas by the scent and the bottle. It’s an interesting piece for collectors. If I decided to buy a full basket of these cute little apples from Nina Ricci, this would be one of my most coveted. Does anyone want to gift it?

  Sweet from the start, unlike other Ninas that begin with citrus, perhaps due to the pear. I notice a lot of sugar, and at the base a caramelised hint that integrates it well with its Nina sisters. Overall, it’s very sweet and exudes the innocence of the whole range. The bottle is a total success; it represents innocence and sweetness perfectly. The downside is that, like the whole line, the longevity is short, about four hours on my skin.

  Starts sweet, unlike other Ninas which often begin with citrus notes; perhaps that pear note makes the difference. There’s a distinct sugary presence with a caramelised base that makes it fit perfectly within the family. Overall, it’s a very sweet scent that conveys the typical innocence of the range. The bottle is a total success, as nothing better represents that sweetness and innocence. The only drawback is that, like the whole line, the longevity is short, lasting only about four hours on my skin.

  I love this fragrance and they don’t make it anymore. Does anyone know a dupe or something very similar?

  What can I say about this perfume? It was incredibly difficult for me to get hold of; in fact, a friend from Europe brought it for me. It was on my wishlist, and I knew I wanted it for the bottle with its kawaii drawings, the illustrated box, and the included booklet. As a colleague put it: ‘the bottle is a real triumph because it better represents the innocence and sweetness it aims to convey’. It evokes purity, delicacy, and sweetness. The scent: too much tangerine for my taste. But considering it had been in the bottle for four years, I expected it wouldn’t appeal to me as much; however, it lingered very strongly on my skin. I liked that it broke away from the classic Nina style. Why buy a perfume if you know it will always smell the same and take you to the same places? The commercial song comes to mind, with the Lilidoll baby emerging from the bottle and a shower of flowers. ‘She always gets what she wants, in the end. If you hold out your hand, she might let, let you pretend’.

  What can I say about this perfume? I had a really hard time getting it; a friend from Europe brought it for me.

  Background: As was often the case with the Nina line, Nina Fantasy launched in 2012 as an annual flanker. I had previously tried winter-themed scents with the discontinued Snow Princess, whereas this one is inspired by dreamy springs and modern, urban fairytale princesses. They say it’s still in production, though its distribution is lamentable. The concept doesn’t seem as complex as the brand usually employs (at least this decade), but I believe it stands out among its peers for simple reasons. Review: It is very gourmand, with subtle floral nuances. The opening is juicy and acidic; the pear takes the lead briefly alongside bergamot and a tiny hint of tangerine (there are echoes of the boisterous phase of the original Nina from 2006, so if you didn’t like that, you won’t like this either). Then comes a crunchy, starchy heart, loaded with sugar and cherry blossom; it is truly sweet and floral, with low acidic tones and a green, astringent base. Afterwards, it wanders between crunchy and creamy textures, with flashes of gourmand vanilla and powdery heliotrope touches. Finally, it takes on a microscopic earthy tone that suppresses the residual vanilla and fruity remnants. It is warm, cheerful, positive, innocent, and fun. It is not an innovative powerhouse nor does it distil originality, but I find it pleasant, enthusiastic, and joyfully organic. It has the synthetic citrus that characterises the line (what else to expect from Olivier Cresp? That he doesn’t vary much). It doesn’t lack freshness for originality, but it is lovely, comforting, and secure. It has been compared to a glazed foot, and I dryly deny that (although in my experience, the floral is more marked, though not inspiring). It is an innocent EDT with moderate sillage and longevity. It is pretty, tempered, spring-like, and features interesting texture handling. I would not recommend it to anyone seeking something original.

  Before trying it: like in the Nina line, this launched in 2012 as an annual edition. Before that, they tried winter things with Snow Princess, but this is inspired by dreamy springs and fairytale urban princesses. They say it’s limited but it keeps appearing, though it’s hard to find. The concept isn’t as complex as the brand usually does, but it stands out for being simple. It’s very gourmand; the florals are subtle. It starts juicy and acidic, with the pear leading for a while alongside bergamot and a touch of mandarin (remember the original Nina from 2006; if you didn’t like that opening, you probably won’t like this one either). Then comes a crisp, starchy heart with sugar and cherry blossom; it’s sweet and floral with a green, astringent base. Afterwards, the crispness mixes with the creaminess, gourmand vanilla and powdery heliotrope. Finally, there’s an earthy touch that covers the residual vanilla and fruits. It’s warm, cheerful, positive, innocent, and fun. It’s not innovative or original, but I like it—it’s enthusiastic and organic. It has the typical synthetic citrus of the house (Olivier Cresp doesn’t change much); it doesn’t take the breath away for originality, but it’s lovely, comforting, and reassuring. Some say it smells like glazed feet; I agree (though here the floral is more marked). It’s an innocent Eau de Toilette with moderate sillage and longevity. It’s pretty, spring-like, and handles textures well, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for something original.

  To me, the bottle seems inspired by Alice in Wonderland, a white porcelain apple. Nina Fantasy is that: fantasy in a bottle. Sweet, feminine, and dreamy. Fruity, floral, with a good dose of sugar.

  It’s a super citrusy and fruity perfume, very typical of the Nina house. It has a base of sugarcane and soft vanilla; it’s sweet yet fresh with a floral touch. It doesn’t turn heads for me, but I absolutely love it—it’s lovely. Very feminine and versatile, ideal for spring and daytime. It makes you feel like a sweet lemonade walking around.

  It is fairly citrusy and fruity, like most of the Ninas. It has a base of sugar cane and delicate vanilla; it is sweet but fresh and a little floral. It doesn’t drive me crazy, but I like it; it’s pretty. Very feminine and versatile, spring-like and daytime. It makes you feel like a walking sweet lemonade.
