Les Delices de Nina

I decided on treating myself to a new perfume, and after not-so-careful consideration I bought this blindly instead of getting Black Opium from YSL because I figured it was too heavy for the warm seasons. But I digress. Les Delices is annoying to spell but it makes up for it by being absolutely lovely. The scent really matches the bottle. It's fresh and sweet, the opening reminds me of sparkling lemonade and after a while the strawberries pop out. I guess I'm a tiny bit disappointed that the caramel note isn't as prominent as I thought it would be, and that this scent doesn't last too long on me (though my sense of smell could be completely wrecked after six months of wearing nothing but super heavy scents). TL;DR version: Sweet and fresh, recommended for summer, pwetty bottle, not-so-long lasting. Edit: After wearing it almost daily for a few weeks, I can say that it lasts longer than I thought. Although I stop noticing it after just a few hours I've gotten plenty of compliments on my perfume even after an entire day (to which I instinctively reply "I'm not wearing any perfume", because I have the memory of a goldfish). I also tried layering this with Bonbon because, dammit, I wanted the caramel to be more prominent, and heureka! It was perfect.

When I blind bought this after looking at the notes I expected a very creamy scent due to the fact it contains caramel as a predominate note. However, to me, this is very fresh, very clean and I get big, bright red strawberries and a tartness, what must be lemon but this isn’t citrus in the least. then almost instantly it mixes with a gorgeous musk but not a heavy musk, a crisp musk. This effect is just perfect!! The notes state “white” caramel and while i have never heard of this before I can tell it’s different from regular caramel because it’s so light and fresh! To me it’s an all weather scent. It’s great on cold, rainy days and just perfect for spring and summer. I personally get no laundry soap as some reviews have stated. It lasts fairly long for the type it is approx 4-5 hours. Sillage is decent too. I tested it on my daughter and I could easily detect her from across the room, she loved it too!!. Easy to come by online will be purchasing more because now it looks like I'm going to have to share:)

Les Delices de Nina is just sublime! This has quickly become my summer signature scent. It's just so playful, sweet, flirty, feminine yet airy and non-cloying. I'm so in love with this and find myself reaching it all the time over my other hot-weather scents. Even L'Imperatrice!! I get that refreshing burst if citruses and raspberry in the beginning but within 10 minutes it turns into fruity, mostly strawberry, caramel and pralines. Ohh its so juicy with the right amount of tartness complimenting the gourmand notes perfectly. Yummmmm, so mouthwatering! I love it! Projection is fantastic first hour, but drops down to skin scent for the rest of the perfume lifecycle. Which is normal EDT so between 4-5 hours maximum. Definitely soufflé berries as another reviewer said! I feel so whimsical, carefree, cute and girly wearing this. For me this is soooo much more alluring and appealing than the OG Nina. Definitely a repurchase from me! So gorgeous!

I go this last year and it was my first perfume by Nina Ricci (I own 3 now). I am really sad this is a limited edition because I absolutely adore it! On me, I mostly feel the strawberry, the green apple and the caramel. I don't really feel the citrus notes. It's a beautiful warm fragrance that's not too sweet for my taste. The bottle us absolutely gorgeous and although it requires being cleaned every now and them, most of the time it looks almost as shiny as it was when I just opened it. I find this perfume really suitable for people in their early 20s who prefer not-in-your-face inoffensive fragrances. It's also not something I see a lot of people wearing so it makes me feel even happy about owning it. I hope I get the chance to re-purchase it. Sillage: moderate Longevity: 6-8 hours

Many perfumes are ultra-gourmand; many are Candylicious. But "Delices de Nina" is one of the few Candy scents that still manages to be - I dunno - sophisticated. Is that crazy? How can a scent be fizzy and sugary and still so Luxurious/Respectable? Maybe it's the fizz of lemon mixing with the very-mildly-balsamic praline. Maybe it's just bias on my part, as I consider Nina Ricci to be an appealingly sophisticated fragrance house. Nevertheless, if you're a sucker for a saccharine scent but want something more substantial and intriguing than Aquolina, please give "Delices de Nina" a try. And wait for the beautiful drydown.

I never cared about the "Nina" range. Somehow, I received this beauty from a swap and ever since, I've been in love with it. This is the perfect summer gourmand to me. Maybe my bottle is a different batch but I can't smell the plastic accord that many people are pointing out. To me this smells like raspberry lemonade with caramel base. That's it. Very refreshing but enough sweet to satiate my craving for gourmands in summertime. Longevity is very, very nice. Especially on clothes. Projection is also quite strong. I would buy it again if I ever finish this bottle.

Beautiful bottle, beautiful scene, beautiful color, i love everything about her. This could be my favourite from Nina flankers. It is sweet but not cloying like La Tentation de Nina. This one more lemony than the others, but the drydown is sweet like what Nina is all about.

Love it to bits. Les Delices de Nina is basically the original Nina + strawberry. As a strawberry lover, I enjoy this even more than the regular Nina. The bottle is super cute. p.s. To some degree it reminds me of Givenchy Ange Ou Demon Le Secret.

OMG! I just received this in a swap today! Holy ca-moly! This stuff is SO yummy! I get the original Nina (which i wish i still had) but with added sweetness! Very happy that I have this in my collection now. :-)

big strawberry with a little lemon, some raspberry, tart apple, little caramel and musk; love it

Like bubblegum covered in golden caramel! I can't wait to have this lovely bottle on my shelf.

A synthetic yet pleasant caramel fruity perfume. The apple and citric notes blend into a sour green apple scent on my skin, letting its freshness cut through the sweetness of the vanilla-caramel candy. It would smell significantly more sophisticated if it wasn't for the faint whiff of plastic in the background, making the whole composition come off as artificial. This is a teenage perfume, fit for a young girl in middle or high school- it's playful and fun, but isn't refined enough to be worn in a more serious environment. Pink, neon green, and banana yellow, a cheerful summery warm weather scent.

I waited so long to get this fragrance on my hands. And I have to say, it's not as sickening sweet as i hoped it to be. I was really hoping that the caramel would be predominate, but oh well. It's still a quite lovely, sweet fragrance. It's such a beautiful bottle. I'm still awaiting for the La Tentation to come in and that's also supposed to be a delicious gourmand fragrance.. I enjoy this fragrance. It's very fruity, like a strawberry candy. It's sweet and fresh like all of the other Nina's. I'm never let down by their perfumes. Delicious, lovely and absolutely beautiful :)

I bought this for my friend as a christmas present. It was a shot in the dark, I just knew she liked fruity perfumes. Fortunately she loves it and wears it everyday, it's quickly become her signature and her boyfriend loves it as well. The scent is super sweet and comforting but still fresh, the citrus comes through. I have a hard time distinguishing the notes but from what I can tell it's true to the pyramid on here, strawberry and caramel is strong. It's a very comforting scent and just wraps you with warmth. Great sillage on my friend.

I've been waiting for it for 2 months, and now it has been released in France, I have to say it is not what I expected according to the notes. I've tried it, it's not gourmand, it's a bit sweet but not in the way I expected. It is light, better for spring and summer. It smells like candies but it is not too sweet. The "golden caramel" on the bottle is nice, it's original.

I love this caramel dipped strawberry fragrance and I wear it in the winter time. It's like being in a candy factory for me. It's not a statement or a sexy perfume, but it's a "feel-good" fragrance. The bottle is not of high quality, the gold area will become rusty in no time, but I love the apple shape. It is meant to be girly and this is exactly how it is.

I just got mine today from France. I agree, it's not gourmand. In fact, it's not much different from the original. The bottle is drenched in caramel (adorable, I might add), but where is the caramel in the juice? I'm a gourmand girl, and while it's not terrible, it is definitely a let down. Another floral fruity. Sigh.

Another sweetness bomb from Nina Ricci. I sense delicious gourmand notes and lucious fruity notes. I would have been in love with it, if I wouldn't have had Nina l'elixir for a long time. Don't get me wrong, I think it's lovely. I am just too used to this type of scent and I guess I wouldn't buy another one of these.

Looks good on paper but this perfume is actually a bit too light for my taste. It's not powerful, not a statement type of fragrance. the bottle is very pretty and it looks well in my collection. Teenagers might like this one as it reminds me a bit of Escada Magnetism.

sentait divinement bon, fruité, sucré, léger; je regrette qu'il ne soit plus vendu, je trouvais également qu'il avait un peu de personnalité; s il ressort, le rachèterai bien que tenue moyenne et sillage aussi mais c'était une belle oeuvre d'art.
