GourmandWhat does Nina L'Elixir smell like?
It opens with caipirinha, citrusy and bright. In the heart, candied apple and red berries sweeten it, while jasmine adds a soft floral touch. Cedar, amber and musk in the base steady the sugary structure without weighing it down, and the gourmand and floral accords stay clearly present.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, and it leans towards spring and fall, for daily wear, leisure and the office. Nina Ricci Nina Snow Princess Edition and Cacharel Promesse Eau Fraîche have a close profile.
