Nina Extra Rouge

This fragrance feels like pure joy bottled up — carefree, playful, and effortlessly youthful. Created by Olivier Cresp, it opens with a burst of luscious raspberry that instantly reminds me of a chilled raspberry smoothie on a warm day — juicy, sweet, and impossible to resist. As it settles, a soft floral heart of rose blooms through, delicately wrapped in a subtle tea note that adds just the right touch of freshness. This hint of tea keeps the sweetness in check, giving the fragrance a light, airy quality instead of becoming overly sugary. In the dry down, creamy praline and vanilla create a comforting, dessert-like warmth that lingers beautifully on the skin. It’s the kind of scent that feels easy to wear anywhere, whether it’s a warm summer evening out or even a regular workday. It has that universally pleasing quality that draws people in without ever feeling overpowering. Every time I wear Extra Rouge by Nina Ricci, it seems to leave a soft trail of compliments behind me, even my husband can’t get enough of it. This is unapologetically a “girly girl” fragrance; sweet, charming, and full of personality. The performance is impressive: strong projection, noticeable sillage that extends well beyond arm’s length, and a solid 5–6 hours of longevity on my skin. I’m honestly surprised this one isn’t talked about more. I don’t usually gravitate toward fruity-forward scents, but this one completely won me over. It’s vibrant, comforting, and just a little addictive — like a sweet memory you keep wanting to revisit.

I received it as a present and I m so happy I did cause i"ve never been attracted to try any Nina perfumes. This is simply sexy, sweet and a bit sour, very rouge and sexy in sort of girly way. I detect mostly raspberry and praline yet I don t perceive it as a gourmand. I really like and I would also buy it to have it in my collection. I'm so happy with this discovery Update: I'm sad that it doesn t have any depth or maybe i'm used to my stronger, more potent, deeper and more rounded fragrances. I feel like the creator of it stopped in the middle of creating it and released it like it: unfinished. It s very very nice but I prefer stronger perfumes. I feel a faint, timid whiff from time to time when wearing it. I prefered it a bit more expensive but created until the end and "sealed". I don't think i will purchase it after and if I finish it. Such a pity cause that raspbery-praline combo is sooo mega delicious. I don t think i will wear it but i will definitely spray it on my wrist at coffee time to enjoy the first 10-20 min of it's cute deliciousness. Update: i use this to layer to L'interdit rouge and the combo is awsome!!!!!

Forgettable? Maybe..overpriced? Come oon, really??? Plasticky? No f way!!!! I ve tried it now, 1 year after receiving it as the cooler weather returned and I must say i had a nice surprise to see that i still really really like it. Even more than last year when i used a lot but only in combo with L'interdit Rouge. This is actually cute and innofensive, great for everyday use, when you want to smell pretty and delicios and not so sophisticated. I think i will use it by its own this year and i would definitely use it even more if i hadn't had so many damn perfumes i adore that tempt for my attention every morning when i struggle to decide which beauty to wear.

I love the Nina Ricci apple line. I definitely agree that this is worlds different from the original Nina, because this is more sour as opposed to the very apple-y scent of the original. It's sweet, and wears really well on me. Would definitely be using this as soon as the sun starts warming us up!

Smells very sweet and apple-like. It’s like a mature apple perfume that doesn’t feel old but very sweet and calm
