CreamyWhat does Nina L'Eau smell like?
Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin without announcing itself. Few people have rated these two, so treat them as a rough guide. It is classed as a women's fragrance.
It opens with orange, neroli, mandarin orange, apple and grapefruit, a bright, fruity citrus start. Aquatic notes, gardenia and cherry follow in the heart, giving a sweet, watery floral feel. Musk in the base softens everything and leaves a creamy trail.
