Love by Nina

I found this gem second hand online, but it was unopened and sealed in its box.. When I opened it I couldn't believe how beautiful the bottle is!!!! It's so much more beautiful than any pic I've seen. But when I opened the lid the sprayer was broken off :( It was near perfect, but seeing as how this was brand new, limited edition, and hasn't been sold for a while, I'm guessing it's seen its share of dropping from high places.. Anyways, the sprayer still works (as long as I'm careful not to lose it!) I've sprayed it and its juice is as stunning as the bottle! So fresh and clean, yet sweet, and green... it's such a great little perfume! I hope it lasts a long time on, will edit when I know better ;) But so far it's absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful blind buy for me! LOVE!!!! Edit: unfortunately this doesn't last long. Didn't realise it was an edt... le sigh... It's alright though because I don't mind re-spraying. Just wish the sprayer wasn't broken lol You really need to see this bottle in person though. Stunning.

I recently bought Love by Nina Ricci. The fragrance begins with a blast of lemon. It's not listed as a note, but I know that I smell lemon. After about 10 or 20 minutes I get a tart green apple fragrance, really sparkling and fresh, I really enjoy these types of fragrances. An hour or so into wear I can smell a faint trace of apple blossom and a little fragnipani, but what I really experiece in this fragrance is the almond. I love this almond-vanilla scent I'm getting. Overall, I love this version as much as I am in love with the original. The only drawback is that the fragrance wears close to the skin and the lasting power leaves something to be desired. It only lasts for about 4 hours on me. That's unusual, I've never really needed to reapply even the lightest perfumes. I wish I could find a complimentary body lotion to layer it with. I really love this perfume but have to rate it a 7 out of 10 because of the poor lasting power. P.S. The bottle is gorgeous!

I adore this fragrance for the simple reason that putting it on makes me feel happy and you can't ask more from a perfume than that. I usually have problems with perfumes - I've made the mistake in the past of buying ones I love on others and then find they just don't work on my skin (an aside - why do people even try new perfumes on cards??). Last time I made a real effort to find a new perfume I lost count of the number I tried before giving in and buying an old favourite so I was thrilled to find Love. Pity its a limited edition. The original is also lovely but not quite the same. By the way, I'm 50 and feel it suits me just fine. My 26 year old daughter also loves it so it doesn't seem to be an age specific perfume.

When i First saw the little green apple bottle... I just needed to have it, so i bought it without trying the fragrance. I already had the original Nina and liked it Very Much, so it was not hard to like this one cause after a while they smell almost the same in my skin. The diference is the beginning: the green apple, that makes this fragrance a little more fresher than the original Nina. I just love it!!

This is nice. It's common, but very pretty. Is more fresh than the red one and fits better the summer time. Smell like fruits ponche, and you will not be notice, but is pleasent in a way. About the bottle, it's a master piece. So, I think that this works. Have a good price, is a nice fragance, and the bottle match any perfume collection. What more can I ask?
