Italian Lemon
Granny Smith Apple
Nina Fleur
Orange blossom is the reason to choose Nina Fleur Eau de Toilette over its sweeter Nina Ricci relatives, and it is also why this is the easiest bottle in the line to wear in hot weather.
Italian lemon starts it, sharp and clean, and granny smith apple follows with the green, tart crunch that the whole line is built around, handled here without any of the cooked sweetness the other bottles reach for. The middle is where it earns its name: orange blossom and neroli together, two faces of the same tree, the orange blossom honeyed and full and the neroli greener, cooler and slightly soapy. The base is light by design, white musk giving a clean skin warmth and cedarwood a pale dry edge, so the fragrance keeps its lift all the way down.
Olivier Cresp made it, and the year was 2022. Six materials, no complications, and a fragrance that does exactly what the label promises, which is more than the rest of this line can claim. Nothing in it has to be explained to anybody.
Eau de toilette strength and a composition this airy mean three or four hours of genuine presence, worn close. That is the trade for how comfortable it is in heat, and reapplying is part of the deal. Spring and summer, daytime, and a younger wearer than the darker bottles in the range suit it best.
Coeur Joie, the first perfume this house made anything of, came out in 1946 in Lalique crystal, and L'Air du Temps followed two years later to become the thing the name is known for. Both came out of a department Robert Ricci created in 1941. The couture business behind them began in Paris in 1932, and Puig, the Spanish group, took ownership in 1998.
