by Nina Ricci
Love by Nina is a light, bright, and cheerful fruity-floral fragrance with a crisp green apple opening that gives way to a soft, almond-kissed floral heart of cherry blossom and frangipani. It has a refreshing, almost edible quality—like biting into a fresh Granny Smith apple—though some note subtle caramel and vanilla notes in the drydown, which can add a slightly gourmand edge. The scent is feminine and youthful, with a clean, airy quality that feels ideal for warm weather and springtime. It's most comfortable on the skin during daytime wear, especially in summer months, and suits those who prefer simple, wearable scents that aren’t overpowering. It has a moderate sillage and demonstrates a soft, well-balanced composition with few complexities, making it easy to enjoy without intimidation. However, its lasting power is fairly weak, fading noticeably after a few hours, even on clothing or skin with good scent retention. Despite its limited availability, it remains a beloved staple for many—especially those with fond memories tied to it or a taste for delicate, fruity-nostalgic vibes.
