Mandarin peels and apple candy, anyone? If you like soft, sweet scents as much as I do, swing by Macy’s when you get a chance to sniff Nina Ricci’s latest limited edition elixir, Le Paradis de Nina ($55, 1.7 fl oz).
Delicate, with a scent that unfolds like origami, this fruity floral eau de toilette feels a little less citrusy than the original Nina by Nina Ricci fragrance, exhibiting notes of gardenia, sandalwood and vanilla.
Light and soft, it reminds me of another of my favorite scents, one from last summer, Estee Lauder Pure White Linen Pink Coral, with a frosted pink glass bottle that fits my most innocent, feminine moods.
Are you familiar with the original Nina by Nina Ricci scent, and have you given this new one a try?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

June 19th, 2010 at 2:07 pmI love the original Nina! I grew up with a mom who has severe fragrance allergies, so it takes a lot to get me to buy perfume, and I only wear it on the weekends. Nina is pretty much where it’s at for me, even so.
