Nicki Minaj Onika Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray is the rapper's debut signature fragrance, named after her birth name and launched in 2014. The composition opens on a juicy chord of pear, carambola (star fruit) and mandarin orange; settles into a luminous heart of orchid, water lily and osmanthus; and dries down on a soft base of sugar cane, white musk and cedar — described by Nicki Minaj as smelling like "angels in the garden of perfection".
About Nicki Minaj fragrance
Nicki Minaj is one of the most successful rappers of the 2010s and 2020s, and her fragrance line — produced under licence — has expanded with multiple flankers since the launch of Pink Friday in 2012. Onika, her birth name, is the more refined and floral of the brand's signature pillars.

The story behind Onika
Onika takes its name from Nicki's birth name (Onika Tanya Maraj) — a more grown-up, refined expression of her perfumery DNA than the playful pink Pink Friday flacons. The fruit-and-citrus opening keeps the composition bright; the orchid-and-osmanthus heart adds a softly luminous floral character; and the sugar-cane-musk-cedar base extends the trail into a clean, modern dry-down.
Who it's for
Suited to wearers who love bright, fruity-floral celebrity fragrances — fans of Ariana Grande Cloud, Britney Spears Fantasy or Beyoncé Heat will find Onika a familiar, more accessibly priced match. Year-round wear with particular strength in spring and summer; ideal for daily, school, work and casual evening wear.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
- Two to three sprays for daytime; build up gently for evening wear.
- Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity on skin.
