Love Generation Sexy

I’ve been low-key collecting this “Love Generation” series because even the least favorite of those blind buys have been turning out to be at least a “like” so far, but I was wary about this one because of all the lukewarm and dismissive reviews. Until I saw that “reminds me of” section. Then I saw the light! Pretty Nina! There WAS a pink Nina Ricci back in the 2008, it wasn’t a dream! I had a 80 or 100 ml bottle of Pretty Nina as a gift and I loved every tiny drop. It was my signature perfume for my senior college year and a then a bit beyond. Only one little “but.” I didn’t keep the box, so I thought it was just “Nina.” Then I went to Sephora to buy a replacement bottle and... that Nina smelled different. And looked a bit odd – too red, not pinkish. I thought that I must have had some sort of a replica before – a fake Nina. I bought the “real” Nina and grew to like it, but I still missed the “fake pink Nina” and used to laugh a lot at how I preferred fake to the original. ALL THOSE YEARS later I find out that both were much very real and my “fake” was a limited edition Pretty Nina. Yet I still wasn’t sure, so I ordered “LG Sexy” that is supposed to be a replica of “Pretty Nina” – and it totally IS! It’s that very smell I fell in love with fifteen years ago, I am so happy it isn’t completely lost I can forgive “Sexy” its modest performance and short longevity. It’s my only issue with it. The scent is lovely. It’s that sweet, fruity, gentle, girlish fragrance – or at least the approximation of it – that used to be so “me.” I must say, even the original Pretty Nina used to be lost on me after a couple of hours too – I couldn’t smell it, but friends kept complimenting me, saying that I smell nice and this fragrance suits me so well. Sweet-sweet apple in pink vanilla glazing – mmmm. By the way, the notes on my Love Generation Sexy box look different than those given here. It says: Top notes: Mandarin, Lemon sorbet Middle notes: Toffee apple, Jasmine, Lipstick accord, Nectarine, Patchouli Base notes: Sandalwood, Raspberry, Cream vanilla, Musk I love it. I definitely will be looking for a vintage Pretty Nina bottle, but Sexy is pure joy for me. It’s caramel, apple, citrus, and vanilla in just the right proportions to make it sweet and refreshing and not too much of anything. I feel bad for it for not getting the love it deserves from other perfume enthusiasts, but I'm happy it still here and isn't discontinued like the original it was inspired by.

When i put it on it reminds me of escada fragrances: fruity, sweet and fresh at the same time, girly, summery without beeing synthetic. Perfectly blended juicy fruits with a hint of vanilla. Sunny optimism in the bottle!

As a sweet scent lover i really like this one. It ́s a little bit cheap smell but very addictive if you like the sweet ones. For such low price i recommend to try it. Good for during daytime.

sweet but also somehow bitter and mysterious, the drydown has got an intriguing nutmeg flavour. skin scent. it reminds me a lot of harajuku girls wicked baby, which i love.

I love it !!! It is a very very sexy perfume and reminds me a lot to "Can Can- Paris Hilton" :)
