Nina Pop
by Nina Ricci
Nina Pop is a lightweight, fruity fragrance with a distinct sour green apple and citrus presence, centered around lemon and lime. The initial impression is subtle and modest, with minimal sillage at first — it may be barely noticeable upon application, requiring time to develop on the skin. Once it settles, the scent gains depth, revealing layers of apple, praline, peony, and cedar, creating a delicate, sweet-tart balance. It shares a strong similarity with the original Nina Ricci fragrance, often described as a more intense version with a slightly darker and richer profile. While the bottle is widely admired for its cute design, the scent stands out more for its quiet persistence than for bold projection. Its subtle nature makes it suitable for daytime wear, particularly in spring and summer, and it works best for those who appreciate light, fresh perfumes with a gentle, evolving character.
