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

This is amazing! I’m actually surprised this hasn’t been compared to Ariana Grande’s ‘Thank U Next’ as I detect a lot of similarities. I feel like when people get the pickles from Ariana’s, this one has a similar base, but it softer and doesn’t go pickle-y like Ariana’s does. It is also not as loud as Ariana’s and is slightly more delicate and approachable. Still has moderate sillage and good longevity, which is what I’m looking for. This is definitely a sweet and fruity fragrance, but it’s also surprising buttery and creamy. The butter and creaminess are my favorite part of this scent, as i find most celebrity fragrances are straight gourmand without any complexity. What a winner, will definitely purchase a large bottle when my decant is finished.

This perfume is absolutely gorgeous! behind Pink Friday and Minajesty this is her best fragrance. This is like a fresher juicier version of Katy Perry's Meow. i feel like i always talk about that one cause Beyoncé's Wild Orchid smelt quite similar to Meow, but Onika is what i wanted Meow to be; fruity, juicy, fresh and tropical flowers. Meow was hooked up on too much sweetness and vanilla but Onika is stunning. The lasting power is quite good about 5-6 hours and it radiates within arms length. i wore my little sample for 1 day and i got at least 6 compliments from people on the tube and in the street. i will deffo buy a large bottle very soon. Nicki must be doing something right i love all her perfumes!

Onika is a delicious tropical blast of sugary pears and starfruit. I can definitely smell that 'butteriness' some reviewers have mentioned, which makes it even more delectable. It has moderate sillage and longevity. I actually ADORE the bottle. The scent is super playful and fun. It would be perfect for a spring or summer holiday - somewhere warm, but not too hot or humid. If you're searching for complexity or uniqueness, this isn't where you'll find it. But needless to say, it's an easily-liked, wearable, fun addition to any collection. Definitely puts you in a happy mood. Pear lovers, get this juice! 8/10

I decided to do another review. Now that I got the big bottle 3.4oz and I spray it on my neck I can smell most of the notes. The strongest notes in my opinion are in order: 1. Pear 2. Sugarcane 3. Osmanthus 4. Mandarin Orange 5. Cedar 6. Water Lily. Also I smell a little Star Fruit, but it's very light no where near how it smells in Pink Friday. I have to agree with others The longevity isn't that great. I get 2 to 3 hours. If I layer this with Minajesty Exotic I get a little longer. I have all of her fragrances including the special and deluxe edition of Pink Friday and I have to say Onika is my favorite.

Oh the nostalgia 🩷 I used to wear this from 18-21 and it was my favourite, such a pretty scent. Sugared pears with the perfect mix of classy and sexy. It’s quite a light fragrance and doesn’t last the best, but it is such a pretty scent. My boyfriend loves this one on me & says it smells super feminine. I found a bottle of it second hand online and the scent brings back so many memories, I love this particular bottle too, it reminds me of the Pinkprint era of songs like Pills & Potions, a lot more toned back and classy, and the fragrance really reflects that. Love!

This is a beautiful fragrance, smells a lot like the og Minajesty, however this one is less flowery and more sweet on my skin. This fragrance smells like those olds school, big,colourful fruity lollipops🍭 . I am personally a big fan of all of Nicki’s perfume's,just wish this one had a better performance. I’m going to try the dark draw trick and order the body spray, hopefully it will last a little longer like that. Bonus: I layered this with the original Minajesty, and I am in love. What a beautiful scent these two have created. Wow! 😍😍😍

For me this perfume is heaven like. I prefer Onika over Minajesty Exotic as Onika is lighter. I smell the sugarcane, pear, and osmanthus the most so far. I love it, it's a must have. I bought a big 3.4.oz bottle of this on Amazon they are sold out now. This is great for summer. It's summer in a bottle. I think she makes the best fragrances, and to me all of her fragrances are like sisters. I think Onika and Minajesty Exotic smell similar. I also think Onika is similar to Katy Perry's Meow. Overall I give this perfume a 10/10.

I don't even know how long I've had this for (years, for sure), but I've just now fallen completely in love with it. I have a HUGE collection and much to choose from, but this is one of those scents that are simple and beautiful for everyday, but I'm still excited to wear every time. This is clean and sweet and airy. Pear candy with a fresh, but sweet vanilla. Very similar to Ari, but better imo, as this does not have the screechy synthetic aspect of Ari. This layered with B&BW Pink Chiffon is tooooo good.

Watery, sugared pear. That is it. It kinda smells like fruitstripe gum, so for that reason alone I adore it. However, the longevity is not there. I’m aware the cedar makes this smell masculine on some of you but I love a cedar note and I don’t get an overload of it here. I sometimes get hints of coconut but it’s mainly sweet pear. It’s like a summer version of Pink Friday. I do prefer Onika as it’s fresher and has a simple note composition, I just wish it lasted longer.

I got the full size bottle of Onika, and I have to say Nicki really did well with this one as well! My skin chemistry is very odd, so this doesn't smell like Pink Friday on my skin. I get a very sweet mandarin with a syrupy pear and tons of sugar. It almost smells like a mandarin and pear jelly jam on me! Very great and a lot of sillage, which I was surprised with! Great scent and will definitely be getting another full bottle upon release *sniffs arm* YUM!

This perfume smells like NIcki MInaj's Pink Friday..... very similar... very nice. I wanted to be one of the first ones to own this fragrance!!! I love wearing it. It stays close to the skin, and is quite soft. It is really soothing...and calming. I would definitely repurchase this...maybe when it is less expensive. THis is best for scent -free offices where you get in trouble if you wear perfume....very light and airy. REALly love, love, love this!!!

I have gotten my mom so many bottles of this and on her. It just smells so good and Nicki. Minaj was not wrong by saying that it smells like angel's playing in the garden of perfection. It's truly a beautiful smell in on the right person. It just makes sense, it's fun. Can't go wrong with it.And at last a while, and it's worth the price.If you can find it on me personally, it does not smell right.But on my mom, it is beautiful

I love minajesty and pink friday, and onika is possibly the best one in addition to being my favorite of nicki minaj's three main fragrances in her fragrance line. Onika has the best longevity of the three scents and the pear and mandarin orange really stand out on my skin. I thought I could also make out some sort of berry smell, raspberry in particular, but was mistaken when I learned of Onika's actual notes.

This is AMAZING. Delicious, fresh, sexy, inviting, playful. It is a yummy fruit cocktail that does not smell or perform like your average celebrity scent: there is depth, complexity, and just a YUM factor that suits day or evening wear. This is easily one of my top five fragrances, and it's a must-have for anyone who wants to smell fantastic, unique, and like a bottle of happy, albeit alluring, sunshine.

This one is fruity perfection. It really smells good enough to eat, but not sticky and sickly sweet! It manages to keep from being too linear, it actually develops into different smells as it sits on your skin! I loved Pink Friday, but outgrew it at 25, this one is similar, but a tad more mature imo, and I feel safe to wear it! The bottles aren’t my thing, but the fragrance inside is heavenly!

Hear me out - if Suki from 2 Fast 2 Furious were to wear a perfume, it would be this one. In the best way possible. It’s definitely one of my favorite celeb fragrances. It’s the ultimate “hot girl” scent. I could see putting this on while getting ready for a night out to make you feel confident af. I say while getting ready intentionally because this doesn’t last long at all sadly.

I am gutted this has been discontinued, what a stunning fragrance! This smells like sugar, star fruit & a sparkling cocktail - a very tropical smelling scent. Its such an easy wearing sweet gourmand perfume. Very comforting & warm. I wish I hadn't used this up so quickly as its almost impossible to get hold of in the UK now unless you want to pay £80!!

I was so happy when I found this perfume, fruity, sweet and refreshing. I was overjoyed and thought that I had found my signature but then I was disappointed when I realized the silage was weak. If anyone knows of a purfume that smells similar to this but with better silage and staying power, please click on my username and send me a message.

This is fruity and a little juicy and an instant like. I don’t get any woodiness fortunately. In the beginning there’s mostly the starfruit/pear, so so lovely. The sugar gives this a yummy tinge in the end, also setting it apart from your regular fruity vanillas out there. The longevity’s decent, the sillage ok.

used to be my signature scent! Unfortunately they reformulated it:(. The original scent was sooooo good. Juicy, watery, and that sugar cane was just the cherry on top. After they reformulated it, it kinda just smells like a cheap 5 below fragrance with no lasting power. BIG BACK THE OLD FORMULA I BEGGGGGG

I got this perfume earlier in the year and I love it so much! It's my third Nicki perfume and I am on a quest to complete my collection. I didn't get any mandarin, citrusy notes but rather, I got bursts of sweet, juicy mango. It feels summery and smells quite sweet. Overall not a bad scent.

This is by far the best Nicki Minaj perfume so far!! A summer MUST HAVE ☀️ it’s beautiful like a peach star fruit sugar cube vibe with cheery elegant smooth charismatic musk. So good, I get compliments but you have to prep your skin for this to last but it’s so pretty! i love it 💕

My sisters signature perfume! I gave it to her because it wouldn't last on me and couldn't be carrying it around. It smells and last better on her than it did on me. She leaves wiffs of it everywhere she goes. The star fruit, pare & sugar is what comes out the most.

I love this perfume!!!! Onika packs a punch compared to Pink Friday in the longevity department!! Pear and starfruit with hints of sweetness and floral is what I pick up!! Sillage is moderate on me.....Its just a wonderful fruity scent!!

One of the only celebrity fragrance worth my money! Warm, but still tropical and somewhat fresh. My younger sister wears this and I always used to steal a spray or two. I had to have my own! No regrets, except the slightly ugly bottle.

I have both pink friday and minajesty so im going to say this smells similar to pink friday, however there are a few subtle differences to me onika is like the mature version of pink friday the orchid note gives it this maturity

This beautiful scent smells lactonic to me, like sweet milk ! I love this baby so much 🖤 ! The only sad thing is that it doesn’t project long enough. Nicki Minaj did great with all her scents and sad that she doesn’t keep it up.

It is a tad bit pungent so spray it sparingly. This creamy and sugary fragrance would smell amazing when subtle. And unlike most people, I am a proud Nicki Minaj fan so I simply had to have at least one of her perfumes.

Onika By Nicki Minaj: smells like self tan lotion!Great for summer with coconut tones. I like Onika but Pink Friday is best. The bottle with cut hair is amazing. I love her absolutely crazy and different bottles!

This is my second of Nicki Minaj's fragrances, the other one I own is Trini Girl. I quite like this one. It smells crisp, light and fresh without that heavy "perfume-y" smell. I'd rate this a 7/10.

I love this scent. I think there's something wrong with my nose. I kinda smell coconut even though it's not listed on the notes. But I have to say that all her fragrances smells similar.

I don't know why, but on me it smells exactly like Justin Bieber Collector’s Edition. But anyway, I like them both. All of Nicki's fragrance bottles are very beautiful and unique.

Definitely my fav perfume by miss minaj! Smells amazing and unique with a pretty good longevity and sillage! Definitely underated in my opinion and 100% recommend!

This is one of my fav going out fragrances. Besides Midnight Fantasy By Britney. Wow! So sultry, sexy, and warm. I got a lot of my friends hooked on this stuff.

Her fragrances all smell similar. Cant complain though, because they all smell sooo nice!!! I think this one is one of my favourite!!

This is a heavenly scent, smells warm and loving, it's like you surround yourself with an aura of love, hapiness and warmth

Light creamy goodness! This is my favorite nicki minaj scent! It's really a pleasant scent for a fall miday date!

Ughhhhhhu smells like a bum senior year house party. So powerful and nostalgic and dark to me.

This is available at Amazon for pre order for $46 for 3.4.oz it will be released July 14th!

A beautiful, fruity fragrance smells quite similar to pink friday & minajesty. :)♥☆

What a beautiful enchanting smell and such an embarrassing bottle. Seriously.

This is my first Nicki Minaj perfume and it was a blindbuy.I was hesitant to order it just because of the word aquatic among accords describing it and also I was afraid of a dominant waterlily but on the other hand I love pear. It was a like at first sniff and a "I like it more and more" in time. it's not aquatic in the way I dislike. not a cucumbery kind of aquatic at all. it's a juicy fruits kind of aquatic. It reminds me of Britney Spears Curious a bit. they don't smell similar but they have the same vibe but Onika is softer, more rounded and sweeter while Curious is sharper and has a stronger floral accord. Onika opens bright,juicy and fruity with strong pear and starfruit note and a less strong mandarin orange.mandarin fades away in a few minutes while pear lasts and gets more sweet and rounded.florals stay soft and pleasant.osmanthus is the only one I can recognize among them.and there's the slightest hint of clean musk.There's very little changes in notes and it's pleasant all through it's life but I like it's dry down more. Onika smells beautiful and calm.it's sweet but not sickly,it's fruity but in a beautiful way.I don't find it a perfume that only suits teenagers.it's fresh in a very feminine way.I'm 27 and never feel it's out of place for me.it's soft and sweet and lovely.very feminine and easy to wear.it's definitely well suited for summer days but I believe it's wearable year round About it's bottle,I have a 3.4 oz one and it looks huge,heavy,weird and even creepy sometimes but I kind of like it. I like to have perfume bottles that look different with others and this is among the unique ones. About longevity,I guess that I have a strange skin.perfumes that other people find weak last on my skin for ages and vice versa.onkia has a very good longevity on my skin.I can smell this warm,sweet and inviting skin scent of candied pear,osmanthus and sweet,clean musk for hours on my hand.sillage is moderate at first which reduces to soft in half an hour. all in all it's a pretty, sweet,long lasting and easy to wear fruityfloral I'd love to try her other perfumes if they were not this expensive and difficult to find where I live. Edit: I bought Minajesty soon after this one and it's not half as good as Onika 2nd Edit: It doesn't smell similar to Body Fantasies Pink Vanilla Kiss IMO. it reminds me of Body fantasies Sweet Sunrise If you like Onika try Viva la juicy Glace and if you'd like to have a rosey version of Onika, try viva la juicy rose (Onika+rose and peony=viva la juicy rose). Onika belongs to the same scent profile of Rihanna Rogue Love and Rihanna Riri IMO but they're not dupes یه عطر میوه ای-گلی شیرین و کاملا فمنین و دوست داشتنی. رایحه گلابی و استارفروت کاملا غالب هستن، در کنار یه آکورد گلی خیلی ملایم(فقط اسمانتوس بنظرم غالبترین نت گلی هست). عطریه که چهارفصل قابل استفاده ست اما بشخصه برای تابستون ترجیحش میدم. اگه عطرهایی تو سبک ویوا لا جوسی مخصوصا ویوا لا جوسی گلیس و ریحانا روژ لاو رو دوس دارید احتمالا از اینم خوشتون بیاد

Well, It smells similar to Pink Friday, but a bit more mature. It smells less fruity and sticky sweet, Onika is more focused on the Pear, the Carambola and Sugar Cane. The Pear isn’t caramelized like in PF, it’s more fruity, more juicy/aquatic to me. Even if really similar, you can feel that the Cedar and Musk are making the blend more serious, a bit more woody. It feels like it was made for a slighty more grown audience. Instead of teens only, it feels like it’s also and better suiting for young adults (20’s and 30’s). The more than obvious similarities are coming from : the Pear, Carambola and Mandarin Orange. The Sugar Cane’s reminiscent of the Caramel in Pink Friday, but not enough to completely resemble it. It still sets itself appart. The lasting power and longevity are the same as Pink Friday’s, moderate. I bought Onika for three reasons : 1. I’m a barb 2. I try to collect N M’s perfumes 3. I loved the notes quoted But I’m kind of disappointed because I couldn’t smell it anywhere in France before buying, so I was under the obligation to blind buy. It was EXPENSIVE on Amazon (73€) and it doesn’t even smell unique compared to its predecessor... Am I still happy because I love Nicki Minaj and collecting her perfumes ? Yes. But even if collecting her fragrances, I highly believe that you don’t need both Onika and Pink Friday in your collection, they are too similar to be worth being both on your shelves... That’s a 7,5/10 because I love the scent as much as Pink Friday’s

I deff have to back up the review a couple below mine with the "warm sugared pear" reference. This is a very simple scent, although very likeable and inoffensive. I mostly smell the notes of pear, star fruit, and the sugar cane note. This is my very first Nicki Minaj fragrance that I've owned, although I've smelled Pink Friday in stores before. I voted for this one with a "like" but I must say, it is a strong like and I've already gotten 2 compliments from people in the two times I've worn this. Longevity is average, but on the low end of moderate lasting about 4 hours on my skin. Sillage is the same. About average on me but on the lower end of average projecting about 2-3 feet and not very strongly. It's a very "moderate strength" scent. Not loud, while not being undetectable either. For this reason, Onika is a VERY good choice for the office. It's versatile, easily wearable no matter what month of the year it is, and will not offend anyone's senses. Overall, I'm impressed. It certainly isn't in my top 10 fragrances, but I definitely like it. Even enough to recommend it. Scent Itself - 7.5/10 Longevity - 4 hours Projection - Average. 2-3 feet. Overall Rating - 7.5/10 I may have to try more Nicki fragrances. :) Also to note : This one is a definite safe blind buy whether it's for yourself or as a gift. Enjoy everyone and thumbs up Nicki!

This is an incredibly versatile perfume. I've smelled the bottle at least 4 different times at Kohls and it's smelled different each time. First I thought it smelled gross, but the next time I smelled it I found it to be very decent and good for nighttime wear. It smelled juicier the next time I smelled it, but I still hadn't tested it on my skin. Fast forward to today. I received Minajesty Exotic in the mail and a rollerball of Onika came with it as a free gift. I tried it on my skin and it was initially very tropical, but as it dried it lost most of the delicious fruit I had smelled in the opening. What followed wasn't bad, though. After wearing it for about 10 minutes it smelled really unique and is appropriate to wear all year. Although, I think it's best for a summer night, personally. If it had stayed tropical I think it would have been too close to the Minajesty line. On my skin this perfume is the most unique one that she's made. Very different from the Pink Friday line. I kind of view this as a "wild card" perfume, so I wouldn't recommend it as a blind buy. Testing is important for a fragrance like this one. Edit: I put some on my wrist 12 hours ago and washed my hands several times and I can still smell it. I'm definitely buying a bottle soon. It definitely agrees with my skin chemistry!
