Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Nina Illusion opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon and yuzu, given a subtle kick by pink pepper. This quickly softens into a juicy heart of raspberry and delicate orange blossom, lending a sweet, floral fruitiness. The base wraps things up with a comforting blend of vanilla and earthy patchouli, creating a smooth and pleasant drydown.
