Pretty Nina
by Nina Ricci
Pretty Nina by Nina Ricci is a light, sweet, and fruity fragrance with a cheerful, uplifting character. It opens with bright grapefruit and fresh green apple, accented by raspberry and jasmine, creating a playful, sherbet-like aura. The heart continues with a delicate balance of fruity and floral notes, centering on raspberry and jasmine, before settling into a soft base of caramel, vanilla, and musk. The scent is described as feeling like a basket of sweet fruits or melted candy, with a faint yet lovely depth of warmth from the caramel and musk. The overall impression is highly feminine, youthful, and refreshing—ideal for daytime wear in spring and summer. While the fragrance is widely praised for its charming, sassy sweetness and attractive bottle, its performance is notably short-lived, with most users noting it fades significantly within a few hours. It doesn't project strongly, making it best suited for close-range wear or warmer seasons.
