Nina Ricci

I was super excited to smell the new Nina fragrance - the original Nina is one of the few fragrances I have ever actually finished and repurchased!  Nina L'Elixir - 30ml EDP - $52, 50ml EDP - $78, 80ml EDP - $95 - has the same subtle sweetness that I love in the original but I find it a little more fruity and warm.  The colour of the bottle has changed a bit,  I'm just glad they didn't change the apple shape!  It contains base notes of red toffee apple, jasmine and red berries, mid notes of Calabria lemon and Caipirinha lime and base notes of cedar wood, cotton musk and hints of warm amber.

And to really get the point across that this is a new Nina - there is a new face to go along with it - 21 year old British singer Florrie who covers Blondie's "Sunday Girl" in the commercial for the fragrance which you can check out below - the song is infectious and the video is like a wonderful dream (or really great acid trip)!

Love the video, love the outfit, love Florrie (who reminds me of a young Drew Barrymore) and love this fragrance!

You can get your own bottle at all department and drug stores across Canada.
