Nina Le Parfum – Available in 50ml EDP for $112 and 80ml EDP for $132, this enchanting fragrance encapsulates a delightful mix of fruity, woody, and floral notes. It opens with a refreshing burst of red apple, green apple, and zesty Italian lemon that invigorates the senses. The heart reveals an exquisite blend of white flowers including orange blossom, tuberose, and gardenia, creating a soft floral embrace. As it settles, the fragrance warms with rich base notes of vanilla and amber wood, making it an ideal scent for any occasion.

My first encounter with the original Nina fragrance was a memorable moment at an airport duty-free shop many years ago. I was about to embark on a cruise and suddenly realized I had forgotten to bring any perfume, which was simply unacceptable! It was truly love at first sniff with Nina. What fascinated me later was the unique use of recycled Italian lemon as a signature ingredient. The lemons, often discarded from the food industry due to their size or appearance, are repurposed into raw fragrance materials. Every part of the fruit, including the flesh and peel, contributes to the scent, resulting in a tangy, vibrant citrus aroma that I adore!

Nina Le Parfum retains the original lemony brightness but introduces the delightful tang of apples, enhancing its complexity. The warmth and sweetness from the vanilla and amber wood round out the fragrance beautifully, making it a perfect blend that resonates with my personal taste. Furthermore, this fragrance is crafted with 91% naturally derived, vegan ingredients and comes in a classic apple-shaped bottle made from 20% recycled glass, ensuring that there’s plenty to appreciate both in scent and sustainability!

You can find Nina Le Parfum now at various retailers including Shoppers Drug Mart, Hudson’s Bay, Jean Coutu, Familiprix, Uniprix, and Brunet stores across Canada, making it easily accessible for those looking to indulge in this captivating fragrance.
