PowderyWhat does Nina (1987) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Nina lasts well and projects at a moderate level, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. Daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Most votes call it feminine, and some call it classic.
It opens with blackcurrant, lemon and bergamot, a fresh and fruity start sharpened by basil and aldehydes. The heart turns floral and powdery with jasmine, rose, iris and violet. In the base, moss, patchouli and sandalwood add a woody, earthy footing, while musk and civet bring an animal warmth.
