Nina's new apple
Puig’s Nina Ricci has utilised its prestigious heritage for the launch of its latest female scent. Simply entitled Nina, after the couture house’s eponymous founder, the new edt fragrance gives more than a passing nod to its colourful past, most significantly in the modern reinterpretation of the iconic apple-shaped bottle used in 1953 for the Fille d’Eve scent.
Nina is described as a romantic, poetic scent, playing on femininity. This is reflected in the fresh fruity floral juice, created by Olivier Cresp and Jacques Cavallier and based around the gourmand note of toffee apple. The fragrance opens with fresh notes of Calabrain lemon and Caipirinha lime, which blends into the delicate floral heart of peony, moonflower, praline and toffee apple. To balance the scent, applewood, white musk and soft musks have been added to the dry down.
The bottle continues the romantic theme with hues of pink and red to create a blushing sensation within the glass. A silver collar and cap featuring apple leaves completes the bottle and the white outer carton features an apple signed witht the Nina signature.
