The reason I was initially interested in this item, is because it got such good reviews by so many of you fellow femmes out there. So, being the naturally wary yet curious individual that I am, I decided to make an opinion for myself. Upon first spritzing this on my wrist, my nose was awakened and delighted. If you could smell sparkles and happiness, this would be it. I almost smiled, and salivated a bit. It was just launched earlier this year, and is a limited edition. It smells like granny apples (like the bottle itself) mixed with cherry blossoms. The exotic scent of frangipani mixed with granny apples and almonds smells deliciously wonderful. It definitely has a unique initial smell...
Ok, by the way, if you're wondering what frangipani smells like, it smells sort of like honeysuckle with a tropical Hawaiian twist.... sort of like the smell that would waver up your nostrils while eating a pineapple, sitting next to a cluster of honeysuckle branches and greenery.
However, after 15 minutes onward, the frangipani and flower smells seem to disappear, leaving a rank rancid citrusy sickly sweet smell mixed with a pleading vanilla or creamy kind of scent. This is definitely not a soft scent. It began to remind me cloying teenage girls with cheap fruity lipgloss smelling of plastic and stale milkshake, lingering in front of a candy shop at a mall. Just the image and smells that came to mind. The classic Nina seems to sell a lot better... the apple bottle is red instead of green. Keep in mind everyone's body chemistry may be slightly different, so what smells great or horrible on my skin after 15 minutes may end up smelling different on your skin.
Keep in mind this is not the same as her other fragrance, "Love in Paris", which is below:
