About This Perfume
Think sweet berry tart, almond pastry, soft vanilla musk: that is Nina Ricci La Tentation de Nina. It opens with grapefruit and bergamot, moves into raspberry, almond and lemon and settles on Bourbon vanilla, white musk and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance works across all four seasons and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2014.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
