GourmandWhat does La Tentation de Nina smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Voters link it most with leisure and daily wear, with office use coming after those.
It opens with bergamot and grapefruit for a citrus freshness. The heart of raspberry, Bulgarian rose, almond and lemon turns floral and fruity-sweet. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, sandalwood and white musk soften that sweetness and close on a gourmand warmth. Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Couture and Alice & Peter Wicked Berry have a close profile.
