Onika

I never cared enough about Nicki's perfumes to own any. Pink Friday, altho good, it goes bad in the bottle too soon and Minajesty has a masculine vibe which I don't like and the drydown smells like fried food on me lol. But Onika is beyond amazing. First time I tried it on and walked outside, the warm breeze transferred the aroma to my nose and I couldn't get my wrists off my face(I always KNOW if I like a perfume or not when I smell them outside). I love the smell of pears, I choose musk over vanilla and im a sucker for white flowers(osmanthus, water lily). This perfume is so nicely formulated it doesn't turn plastic on my skin and I can smell every bit of the flowers and fruits in it. I agree with the review below me, its a hot date perfume or special occasion. Im in love Update: A lady chased me down to tell me "I was trying to figure out where is this beautiful smell coming from! its you! you smell great!". So projection must be good lol Update: Now it's 2017 and my bottle has officially gone bad and smells old. I will stay away from Nicki's perfumes as they all go bad very quickly. I have Katy Perry's Purr bought in 2010 and it still smells amazing, same with Rihanna's and Beyonce's. Theyre good quality. Update: Im SO glad I was able to revive it, not on purpose it just happened. It had started smelling old ,stinky and pure alcohol, on my skin and on paper, terrible. I was so sad and was tempted to throw it away but couldnt find the courage cuz its like 97% full and i still absolutely love what it was when it was fresh. So I sprayed it a few times then placed it in a darker shelf for many days, just to keep it but not throw it away - I was heartbroken lol. Today I wanted to remember its scent and so I took it out and sprayed on paper, smelled fresh! then sprayed on me and smells like new!! Really happy i didnt toss it. :D Never had an old stinky perfume go fresh again. Its prolly more delicate and needs absolute darkness.

This is by far her best fragrance. I thought Minajesty would be her best one because of the Tonka, but something in this is just beautiful. It does have VERY similar notes to Pink Friday but they do have very obvious differences! This one doesn't have that cheap synthetic smell to it like PF, it's a lot fresher and more clean smelling. The pear in this is beautiful when you first spray it! Like the pear is gorgeous! The other fruits are there but it's still the pear! The dry down OMG the dry down, the dry down reminds me of Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson! It smells wonderfully creamy and sweet! Such a gorgeous fragrance! Can not wait to get it! The bottle also is beautiful! This is by far her best bottle design! It looks nice, it feels and its just an all round great bottle design with a beautiful box to match! Considering I dont like the rest of her fragrances with the exception of Minajesty, this one is really good! The lasting power on me was about 6 hours which is fantastic for the Nicki minaj range! Highly recommended for a sniff! Can not wait to get this!

Marked down to ten bucks at Marshall's? I'll take it! I was so happy to spot this tucked way behind a bunch of other boxes. When this first came out, I smelled it and liked it quite a bit. At the time, I was purchasing something else, so I left this on the shelf and never bought it. A few days ago I saw it and I wasn't going to leave the store without it! This smells so wonderful! It's a light and "happy" scent, but there's also a maturity to it. It's not a teeny-bopper scent to me. There is some juicy fruitiness as well as lovely florals; orchid and lily. I notice the Mandarin orange more than the pear, but it's not overwhelming. I think the white musk is what pulls it all together. After a while, it smells like clean skin laced with fruits and florals. So nice! This projected about arm's length, maybe a little less, but the longevity is really nice! On me, I got about 7 hours or so. I'm really enjoying this and will mostly likely buy more when I'm out.

I was not a fan of the first Nicki fragrance, so I ignored this. Got it on sale because I was just paid that day and said "Why not?". The head comes off very easily, so after almost breaking the bottle just as I was taking it out of the box, I was scared. Sprayed this and.....wow. This fragrance is $27 for a 100ml, and I think this might be one of the best celebrity fragrances ever. It is a buttery, pear, sugar, and carambola smell. The carambola gives it an extra kick of fruitiness but it isn't a sweet/fruit bomb as you might expect. Instead, the fruits blend beautifully with the other notes and gives it just a tad of tartiness, with a clean, sugar cane undertone. Longevity on my skin is just ok, but I know that is because of my skin. Great fragrance, great price! P.S. Yes, the bottle is a bit too much but it is Nicki Minaj. I wouldn't expect anything different from someone that is so flashy like her.

This one is absolutely beautiful. All of Nicki's perfumes are lovely in my opinion, but this one is definitely a bit more grown up and less sweet than the others. Warm but subtlety sexy, it smells like a sugared pear (or like a toffee apple) and has some really nice floral notes in it, and I pick up some woody/musky notes in the dry down. This could be worn by older and young women, and is definitely something you could wear on a night out, but is equally perfect for everyday work wear (I work with young children and I wear this to work often) and it's also something I'd wear on a rainy day at home or when snuggled up in bed. Such an amazing fragrance and great value for money. I also really love all the bottles by Nicki Minaj I think they look great sitting there even if you've run out of the perfume they still make a great decoration. <3
