Nina by Nina Ricci - A fragrance for one who loves the sweetest of things

Nina by Nina Ricci is a yummy, fresh fragrance, concentrated in apple scents. It combines very sweet blends of all the types of apples you can imagine!

Think all the kinds of green and red apples and add a hint of sweet candy-like scent...

On application, the top notes feel overpowering but immediately these sink to its natural light notes and cling on for many hours, making the need for top ups less frequent or not needed at all.

This is one fragrance that will generally be likeable by all women - particularly those who favour sweet scented scents.

I like this perfume because it suits any occasion, any mood and any age...And it avoids all the floral scents (which I'm not a huge fan of).

It almost seems to play with your olfactory senses throughout the day, which can bring one's mood up a notch =P

The mini bottle is handy for top ups. You cannot spray it on but you're able to rub it between your wrists and apply it wherever you want. One small blob of the lotion's scent lasts the entire day.

Casual Everyday Perfumes

When I'm going out and want to feel casual or when I go to my usual informal places, I like to wear something non fussy - reserve the elegant perfumes for an occasion, and use 'everyday' perfumes for...well...everyday =P...
I feel this way we can feel the part. If you wear the same perfume everywhere then it simply won't be as special; not to me anyway. Treat perfumes as you would treat your clothes.
Here are 2 of my usual perfumes I'm fond of spraying on...

Fantasy by Britney Spears



I don't usually like celebrity fragrances. I don't judge perfumes based on whose name is imprinted on it, but by its scent. I do think it's silly for a lot of celebrities to claim scents as their 'own' when they don't come up with the whole potion on their own. And for this reason, I don't think you can compare celebrity scents to designer ones - they simply will not be able to compare!
Celebrity fragrances I find, are usually very cheap scenting and horrid. So when I came across this perfume by Britney, I was taken off guard by how much I liked it! It smells simply pleasant. Very sweet scenting - think candies, bubble gum, sweet burst of floral, more sweet candies... it almost makes me feel like I'm lost in a candy shop. It's a simple mix of feel good sweet smelling scents. Sweet sweet.... yes...it is. So if you like sweet things, try this.
The price tag isn't bad too. At 15£-20£ for 30ml... great for everyday use!

8/10 (compared to other celebrity scents!)


DKNY (To Go)


This is concentrated on its citrus scents, such as....oranges...lemons...limes...ylang ylang...sandalwood...jasmine...what else? I find this appealing particularly during summers. On its first spray, it gives you a sharp burst of that crisp citrus smell, which then settles to a delightful fresh smell...
Price tag is £15-£20 for 30ml.
