About

Nina (1987) opens with a bright, crisp aldehyde burst, mingling with juicy peach, zesty lemon, and a verdant whisper of basil and redcurrant leaf. It gracefully transitions to a powdery heart where mimosa and marigold shine, underpinned by the smooth elegance of iris and violet. The drydown settles into a sophisticated base of oakmoss, sandalwood, and a subtle, animalic civet, leaving a lingering, warm, and somewhat spicy woody trail.
