Nina L’Eau

Nina L'eau is a bottled fantasy! A sweet and light concoction for the vibrant and youthful woman who is not afraid to reveal her sensual side in a subtle yet beautiful way. It announces itself with a fresh mix of cherries, apples and citruses bathed in watery accord sweetened by Neroli and hints of apple blossom. White musk adds a touch of sensuality to the playful edge of Gardenia's gentle whisper. I have fallen IN LOVE with this version of Nina from the time I tested it. Sadly I did not immediately purchase it as I was put on a tight budget. I know I should've splurged back then because I was literally dreaming about it for 2 weeks. So, I decided to end that nightmare...take the plunge and bought a full bottle. Overall, it's simple, unpretentious and well-balanced. And the pink frosted apple flacon...is just DIVINE! Stays close to my skin with 7+ hours lasting power. I will definitely wear this all year round.

Lets face it, Nina Ricci has made L'Air Du Temps, a great timeless classic, so this is a house which should be taken seriously. I was expecting this to be another fruity, girly, high street, boring, fragrance for the masses, however I am pleasantly surprised! I never thought I would like cherry in a fragrance but this is a well blended, sweet fruity scent with a bit of something extra., which could be the musk holding the notes together and balancing the whole composition. This is slightly Angelesque, and I would put it in the gourmand category, (but its not Angel), it has depth, warmth and is very very pretty. The notes in this fragrance, apple, grapefruit, mandarin are usually notes that I would stay away from, but I have to say that this blend works very well and suits my chemistry. The longevity is amazing, 8+ hours and it has a powerful silage. I really like it and I shall be purchasing a bottle soon.

Either this perfume has matured, or I have. I had a bottle of this 7-ish years ago and I remember it being a linear yet refreshing cherry scent. I recently bought another bottle and something has changed, it's not as cherry dominant. Now starting quite sharp and citric, maybe it's the florals rushing out of the gates before settling into that gorgeous aquatic-fruity scent I remember. It lasts for quite a while too, becoming a skin scent after a few hours but lasting long enough to still be noticeable the next day, even if you have to bury your nose to find it. With summer rapidly approaching, it's still the perfect fragrance for something refreshing and noticeable 😊

I ordered it yesterday according to reviews and notes. Cant wait to smell it. I love watery-fruity-flowery notes. My birthday is coming, this is the present from myself :))) so..I tried it. And I absolutely love it. It reminds me Acqua di Gioa, but in fruity way. People around me are asking me what is it. And I get compliments. I applied it on my pillow before night and i could smell it in the morning quite well. It is absolutely not that type of fragrace: "for women with attitude" or "for strong woman who knows her price and bla,bla,bla". Which is not any of my fragrance anyway :) But it is beautiful fragrance and I will use it with pleasure.

I'm liking this one more and more, but I still have to wait for the dry down. The initial Citrus is a bit strong for me. But the dry down is pretty nice. It's a light fruity floral scent once the initial citrus dries down. I think it goes well for spring and summer. It does take a little bit for the citrus to reside, but once it does the cherry and gardenia last for quite a while, at least for as light as the scent is. Most light scents I've had seem to die off pretty fast. it is light and it stays light, but it does stay. It doesn't completely disappear.

The perfect spring/autumn scent. I dislike the original Nina Ricci apple as I find it too sickly sweet. This was a veeeery pleasant surprise on the other hand! I smell a very aquatic & musky cherry in it with hints of neroli. The dry-down is more sweet and musky, less aquatic. A very yummy fragrance, perfect for close encounters, I think guys will really fancy this one :) Very sensual fragrance for girls in their late teens and 20s. I LIKE! Only the staying power could be a bit better but for EDT I will forgive this.

I just received this today and really like it. It's a bit fresher and lighter than Nina and L'Elixir, but still smells similar. It' pretty sweet, almost too much so in the beginning, but once it starts to mellow out it becomes this beautiful, fruity, aquatic florally musk with a nice citric twist. I just sprayed it on myself about 3 hours ago so I'm not sure about the longevity yet, but has moderate sillage so far. I like it, along with all the other Nina's I've tried.

I have not smelled the original Nina yet, so I cannot make comparisons of this flanker. However, I think this is beautiful. The initial blast of Nina L'Eau it's like biting into a perfectly green apple: crisp, slightly sweet with a dash of bitterness. Cherries, watery notes and musk blend harmoniously together, smudging the edges and providing a powdery sweet underlying vibe. It feels lightweight and carefree!

Well I just love this. Got myself a sample and may just get a full size bottle or at least another sample.I can't stop smelling myself when I wear it, that's always a good sign. Such a pretty, feminine scent--not a typical fruity-floral. I can detect the cherry, it's like a Dr. Pepper kind of cherry, very sweet but not in a juvenile way if you follow me. It's youthful, fizzy and fun. I need more.

On me, this is very similar to Le Paradis de Nina but not as sweet. I detect traces of the original Nina as well. The initial blast of citrus is a bit sharp but after it dries down Nina L'eau settles nicely onto my skin. Definitely the lightest of the Nina's I've tried and somewhat fresh and airy. Lasting power is not bad, a couple of spritz lasted several hours. Overall, a pretty summer scent.

Amazing perfume. This is so sweet, fruity and feminine. When I wear this I just can't stop smelling myself. It reminds me of marshmallows. Even though its called L' Eau it lasts quite a while on my skin and it also emits quite a strong scent. I can definitely smell the cherry, musky and soft powder. This might be on the way to become my signature scent.

Is light and is like a sweet smooth aqua you can use it in summer and in different occasions and you are not going to feel it overpowering or to strong but really last in your skin almost everyone can use it because the scent goes really well with different ph and the bottle is super cute and you just can resist it is super feminine and pinkish.

This one I use best in cloudy and rainy spring days in a way that the watery notes fuse perfectly with the hazy fresh air, and at the same time the vivid fresh fruites add a sense of life and juiciness to the composition. Mellow fruits with a slight humid tone make it a very mild and feminine scent without being too common.

I think this is a beautiful, light, easy to wear fragrance. I wear it more often than any of my other perfumes. I had a tough choice between this perfume and Daisy by Marc Jacobs. But this perfume is more balanced, light, fresh, feminine. Also I tried it up against a bunch and this was also my boyfriends favourite.

FINISHED! It is a really rare situation that after finishing a bottle of perfume I would miss it. And here it is. Sweet and feminine, deep but not heavy. Kind of spicy. It resembles the original Nina, but it's more girly and fruity. CHerry is dominant here! I put it on my 'to buy list'!

Light as a goose feather, a very intimate scent that faintly smells like a cornucopia of cherries, apples and citruses. Wearing this feels like being draped in a style à la grecque dress of flowers and fruit. Wonderful

For me this is very good smelling and sweet. I enjoy perfumes like this one. It's sweet fruity scent, very similar with Nina and Nina l'elixir. Delicious creamy scent. It's happiness and joy in a bottle.

This is the watered down version of original Nina, and this is some kinda between original Nina and Nina L'Elixir. This is the between. I love all of Nina line fragrance, wish i could find the others....

It's lovely ! Fresh, musky, but sweet as a cherry, juicy as an apple. Very subtle and feminine.It makes me think of Le Paradis de Nina which was a little bit sweeter. Correct lasting power.

i just ordered a bottle of the Nina L’Eau fragrance watching the captivating and beautiful ad campaign really was what made me buy it and a real life fairy tale princess Frida Gustavsson.

I just got this scent for Spring and I'm smitten. Love it. Love it. Fruity musky scent. Decent lasting power. Sillage seems to be good too but will need to test further.

Angels with bouncing loose curls wear this in the summer. A very airy fruity and fresh scent that makes me feel graceful and coy when I spritz it.

Want to try this but can't find it

So sweet and dedicate. Love it.

There is something so dazzlingly beautiful and bubble gum here. Slightly sweet and joyfully youthful, I dare you to be in a bad mood wearing this. I'm not going to lie. Here lately, I can't help but be gun-shy when it comes to flankers, especially when I see in the "Reminds Me Of" section so many in the same line listed. Then, the infamous "watery notes", which seem so likely to be composed of calone - that treacherous synthetic aquatic addition, that so inevitably manifests into a headache. Yet, this maintains proper courtesies, and elevates an almost effervescent fruity citrus accord. The original is quite wonderful; good enough to be replicated slightly lack-luster in Vintage Bloom. (Yes, I have all three and have compared them all side by side. Although Jessica Simpson's perfumes seem pleasant enough, she replicates to achieve that satisfaction, and often without the original's graceful footing). Having a direct comparison, it becomes clear l'Eau becomes the day, and the mother fragrance transforms into the night, utilizing praline and cedar to anchor into deep shades of an apple grove. L'Eau attempts to suppress girly giggles with use of the lightest musk accords, but inevitably happy notes of citrus and apple cannot help but burst their exuberance with the sweetest, lighthearted expression. I think both are delightful! And although they both share a common spirit, therefore seemingly redundant, they are just different enough to rationalize dual ownership.

An aquatic sweet cherry and citrus opening, the latter disappearing within minutes. You are left with a very sweet and airy scent resting on a bed of soft, transparent nondescript white florals. Within 15-20 minutes, Nina L'Eau becomes a skin scent as a sweet, slightly powdery musk emerges. Pros: - Can be worn anywhere, you won't offend anyone with this scent - The sweetness is counterbalanced by a slight powderiness on the dry-down that makes Nina L'Eau a bit more "grown-up" and as such a fragrance that isn't limited to the 20 and under crowd. - It is well blended and not screechy, which is a big plus considering the very reasonable price this fragrance can be found at and the fact that it has a significant aquatic component. Cons: - The top and middle notes disappear within 15-20 minutes; Nina L'Eau has extremely poor longevity and projection. However, a "skin scent" fragrance is not always a bad thing, especially if you are looking for an office or school-friendly scent. - The sweet musk dry-down might not be everyone's cup of tea. I am generally a huge fan of white musk but its pairing with this sugary sweetness is a tad jarring to my nose. Overall, I could see Nina L'Eau as a great gift for a budding fragrance enthusiast looking for a school/work-friendly scent. A safe blind buy, especially if you can find it under $20.

I bought this simply for the bottle (I am collecting all the Nina editions) as I have nearly all the flankers I knew this was going to smell super similar to Nina in some way or another. What surprised me was that the opening was very like that of Paradis de Nina - even though there is no almond in this, even the bottle has been copied with the pale pink frosted glass. I was dead on the money about it being similar to the original Nina just a slightly lighter and airier version. Very very pretty and feminine and I don't usually like L'Eau and Fraiche flankers that follow strong perfumes but this is surprisingly lovely. It is not as sweet as Nina which makes a nice change and fortunately I cannot detect any hint of Gardenia which I am not a huge fan of. It is light but it is pretty long lasting for an edt and think it will be stunning in the summer! I also got a pretty silver apple necklace in a pink leather pouch with it so overall I'd say it was worth the pennies.

A pretty scent in an adorable pink frosty bottle! I've had this for so long, sitting towards the back of my collection, it's meek, shy, and absolutely darling. Easily likable, comfortable. Sort of like the "girl next door" kind of scent. It's a fresh, uplifting sort of fragrance, with a hint of cherry and grapefruit on a bed of delicate white florals. Not much else to say about this one.. It's nice for days where you just want to smell crisp and clean and slightly sweet. Nina L'eau doesn't try too hard to get along, she's polite, well behaved and gracefully demure. Perfectly suited for a lovely spring day! Longevity: 3 hours on me Sillage: Soft, a skin scent. Edit: Reminds me of a cutesy pink fairy! So cute! ^-^

This reminds me of a fragrance I gave away, Point Piper by Gilly Hicks (not on fragrantica). Also reminds me a bit of Versace Bright Crystal which I used to have. I blind bought this to wear as a summer fragrance. I love sumptuous gourmands but in hot weather, they are not ideal. This is an aquatic cherry fragrance, very light and inoffensive. It has little staying power and tiny sillage, you have to really sniff to get any. That said, I can douse myself in it without overdoing it or giving myself a headache. It's a neutral, inoffensive, office-friendly summer frag that may not blow your mind but it is certainly agreeable. Plus the bottle is too pretty. I'd like to try other Ninas!

I am digging the watery cherries and the throw back to the original nina w/ it' green apple note and a phantom hint of praline I can't explain. This is a light, fruity, happy, girly scent. I find it very pleasant, but something about it misses the mark for me. Maybe it's the mandarin, I find mandarin notes to add a generic "blah" kind of factor to perfumes. Perhaps if it were a bright or blood orange instead I would find it more interesting. If you find this one nice but a bit blah, maybe try the other great cherry perfume from this designer, I love Nina Ricci's cherry fantasty! Like most sheer fruity florals, it fades fast.

This starts with quick mandarine burst which is gone in 2 minutes. After this the smell turns very strong neroli on me and this lasts quite long. Fortunately it's beautiful and quite soft neroli scent. Middle note on me is still neroli mixed with gardenia. So this is quite white flowery on my skin. Something airy, watery and cloudy lingers in the back. No apple and the cherry is very very light and I have to spray many times to get the cherry note out. I'm not keen on white flowers smells but in this I can stand them because the smell is soft. Very beautiful scent despite it doesn't give all of its notes out on my skin.

I got this as a gift for my birthday and I enjoy it. It's floral, fruity and refreshing. When I sprayed it on I immediately liked it, it reminded me of another favourite of mine, Gucci Bamboo EDT. I smelt a Jasmine note but there's no Jasmine in this scent. The only florals are Neroli, Gardenia and Apple Blossom. I get the Apple, Apple Blossom, Mandarin, Grapefruit and the white florals, but I can't smell the cherry which is a shame as I love cherry. Would recommend for daytime wear. The bottle's really cute as well which is a bonus!

the bottle: It is a very pretty bottle looks like the original. Inside the bottle: Fresh,clean,sweet & light are the words to describe this perfume. When sprayed you get the cherry,apple & citrus scent. When dried you get a little bit of the white florals. Longevity is okay will last at least half the day.Sillage is light won't offend anyone. Overall: This perfume is a lovely light fresh, sweet smell. Great for someone who sensitive to perfume or for someone who doesn't wear perfume a lot.

In the opening you get cherries and grapefruit together. Then the cherry gets more intensive, but not supersweet. Then the grapefruit starts to get more intensive and the watery notes come in to mix with the toned down, still very noticable, cherry. This fragrance isn't your typical sweet scent or typical lemon fragrance. It is cherries and grapefruit resting on a watery bed. All this goes tohgether very nicely. Lasts about 4 hours and sillage is moderate.

This used to be my partners favorite fragrance back in the day. I bought here a mini version to test it out and she still loves it. To me it's ok. A scent you can find in many perfumes. It smells crisp, juicy, fresh and floral. It's refreshing and aquatic. The sweetness is fruity rather than gourmand. Very lightweight and approachable. An everyday scent. Similar to the original Nina Ricci.

I revisited this perfume because its not like any I've had before. When first sprayed I get fizzy apple, which is light and refreshing. On my skin the grapefruit breaks through the wall of musk and really dominates and stands tall over the other fruity notes. I pick up the cherry when it settles and it's very soft; just enough to tone down the tangy grapefruit to a nice level.

Yummy fruity fresh opening, mouth-watering in fact. Cherries and apples wet the tastebuds. This is a reverse of Pandora’s box, where the most beautiful things come out upon opening. After a few moments a refreshing warm, soft, musk and gardenia smooth over the scene. The drydown is sultry and seductive, with a citrus highlight. Overall it is enchanting.

This is a very sweet fragrance! To me, this smells like maraschino cherry juice with a lot of aquatic notes. It is not a crisp type of refreshing scent, rather it is a more juicy type of refreshing. It is reminiscent of sniffing pink shampoo straight from the bottle. This is nice and very girly. I don't get a lot of musk in it at all.

I got a sample of this perfume. I had high hope for it, yet it didn'nt live up to my expectation. I would say this is a lovely one. It smells floral, youthful and refreshing. At the same time, it smells not so different than other perfumes, quite forgettable to me. It's a safe option for spring/summer, but I won't repurchase.

for me this smell just right the same as the original, but slightly lighter, watery; just as the "elixir" one was the same but stronger. Nothing special, a flanker.period. Maybe good for summer, but the original for me was already a spring-summer scent; sometimes I still use it in summer, but I prefer the Elixir one.

Nina L'Eau is a refreshing, light scent for warmer weather. I really enjoy the cherry and apple notes it contains. This is an eau fraiche, so I knew to not expect big sillage or longevity... I got a larger bottle so as to spray with abandon! Fresh and charming, and the Nina apple bottles are just so darn cute!

In my opinion apples should have started with this. Nina is a scent too shocking. Unlike red apple this output is involved in citrus and aquatic notes. The extra neroli, cherry, and gardenia, give it a more elaborate facet to the base. And stop smelling like an ordinary perfume of apple and clove.

Starts off with a blast of citrus and apple, after a while I get the cherry and aquatic notes. It's quite pleasant and fresh, I don't detect much sweetness. Lasts about 4 hours on me, which is pretty average on my skin. I'll enjoy using up my bottle, but it's not special enough to purchase again.

Honestly, this perfume has disappointed me a little bit. Like the name implies this is a "water" from the original Nina. Less sweet and a bit more fruity, but I can't detect the cherry in it. It's not a bad fragrance or anything (I wouldn't mind owing it) but I prefer the orignal much more.

Smells like a very light version of the classic drink, Sonic Cherry Limeade. Maybe a Cherry Limeade flavored fizzy water. Citrusy and effervescent, sort of reminds me of Chanel No 5 L'eau. I like the original Nina better but this isn't terrible by any means.

Less sweet than the original Nina, more office-safe if I may say so. Watered-down Nina - unoffensive apple and pleasant sweet cherry. For those who want something out of Nina line, but find the original red apple Nina too sweet and intense.

Having a picnic, I sit on the green grass and watch the ducks splash in the lake. I'm sipping a cool fruit punch. That's what this perfume is to me. Now I just need to wait for summertime to come around so I can make this a reality!

A lighter, fresher version of Nina. Turns a hint powdery in the drydown. Smells nice, but poor longevity. Was mostly a skin scent for me. I'd recommend the regular Nina over this.

This is Nina's shy little sister. They smell similar, but this is lighter and fresher. It is lovely, but nothing exciting. I can barely smell it after half an hour on my skin.

In pretty sure that i had tjis when i was younger in sixth grade. I remember that it was good. But i remember it being white, not pink, im pretty sure it was this one
