Nina Ricci Nina Eau de Toilette 80ml is a fruity-floral classic launched in 2006, composed by Olivier Cresp, Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud and Christian Dussoulier. Built on a whimsical "modern fairytale" brief, it opens with bright Amalfi lemon and lime, drifts into a crisp heart of Granny Smith apple, peony and praline, and settles onto a soft drydown of apple tree, white musk and Virginia cedar. Houses in the unmistakable rose-pink apple-shaped flacon — one of the most recognisable bottles on a beauty counter.
About Nina Ricci
Founded in Paris in 1932 by Italian-born designer Maria "Nina" Ricci, the house built its reputation on romantic, feminine couture and accessories. Its perfumery line — anchored by the legendary L'Air du Temps (1948) and the more recent Nina apple-bottle line — combines French-classical perfumery with a quietly playful sensibility, ideal for women who like fragrance with a little fairy-tale whimsy.

Who it's for
Nina suits women who like cheerful, fruity-floral fragrances that feel youthful without being childish — those drawn to apple, peony and a soft sweet drydown. It is at its best in spring and summer but easy to wear year-round, ideal for daytime, weekend wear and casual occasions. If you wear scents like Marc Jacobs Daisy or DKNY Be Delicious, Nina sits comfortably in the same family.
How to use
- Hold the apple flacon around 15 cm from the skin.
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- Two to three sprays balance presence and longevity for the eau de toilette concentration.
- Reapply lightly later in the day if you'd like the apple-citrus opening to return.
