Nica

Nica is one of a very small number of sweet berry fragrances I've enjoyed wearing. I bought this years ago, and I liked its cool freshness for daytime wear. Nica has the concentration of an after-bath splash, so I had to apply several times during the day to refresh the brightness of the fragrance. It smells strongly of Concord grapes and violets, blended with blueberries and sugar. It's very "purple", if that makes sense. It's not syrupy,though, and its slightly ozonic, which is energizing and uplifting. It's very pretty, but, for me, it's absurdly over-priced for what I get out of it.

Upon sampling this fragrance I found it to be slightly sweet, gentle and earthy. Not what I expected, but not unpleasant. The blueberries in this composition make only a brief appearance, I would say the strongest notes would be cardamom and sandalwood in the dry down. Lasting power is mediocre.

All I can smell is sweet fruit, glad the grapefruit isn't strong and sharp like it can be. Waiting for further development/drydown on this and will update. Next few times I wore this I didn't get that sweetness I got instead the dreaded sharp grapefruit note, which I hate. Not for me.

starts out full of rotten grapes but in 15 minutes evolves into the nicest soft fruity/powdery summer scent which sits close to the skin and is very appropriate for the young ladies who are fair in complexion, with a touch of redness in their skin.
