This is so sexy, it brings the boys to the yard. It's my signature "going out" scent, it's a bit much for everyday wear. It's a sweet apple scent, similar to DKNY Be Delicious but much more interesting. Its not easy to describe: there is delicate apple, its sweet without being surgary, and its balanced with deeper floral notes. It has decent staying power as well and lasts all night long. And the bottle is cute to boot!

I remember one day I've sprayed this fragrance on a paper tester strip and was really impressed with it. It had very pleasant sweet fruity scent.

Couple of days ago I saw it on sale for $29 at Priceline but decided to test it on myself first to see how it will smell on me. It was a very good idea! At first citrus notes overpowered everything but after few minutes apple and praline notes started coming through. It smelled very very delicious, if the store was close by I would have returned and purchased it straight away. It was different to DKNY Be Delicious where apple note is more fresh rather than sweet.

After about 20 minutes strong floral notes started coming through and together with fruity and sweet notes it turned into a mess. I started making me feel nauseous and I must admit that I am pretty open minded when it comes to various perfumes. I couldn't wait to get home and wash it off my skin. Some of it got onto my clothes as well, however it smelled better than it did on my skin. I think higher temperatures make less pleasant notes "come out".

This is my no-brainer for gift-giving. The bottle is pretty, which gives a good impression. More importantly, the fragrance is perfect for summer/spring, and very comforting. Fresh, uplifting. People LOVE getting this. You know when you give someone a gift and the person actually uses it? It's a great feeling. And the girls I have given this to, so far, they all use it and like it.

I think, if all my brainstorming fails, I will continue to get this for all the birthday girls in my life :D

This is my favourite perfume by far :D
It smells really sweet, but not too much, and the packaging is just gorgeous!
And just a small tip, some people might've known it already, but i'll share it anyway. To make a perfume last longer and not smell too strong, spray it on your wrist and rub it behind your ears and neck.
Works for me ;)

I don't own this product, but really want to buy it. My friend has it, and let me tell you, this is quite the man magnet! We were out one night, and she sprayed it on both of us. Guys were literally following us around trying to sniff us! lol. totally creepy but speaks volumes about this parfume. It's sweet, it's heavy but if you are into that kinda thing, you will love it!

This sure smells like an apple-a rotting one! It is far too sweet and has a note about it that is off, giving it a 'rotting' effect. Also, it has no deeper notes to counter off the sickly sweetness(DKNY's Delicious does a better job at that). A girl in my class sitting severak seats away from me once wore this with a generous hand and it was enough to make me hate this fragrance for ever.

Overall i really like this fragance. It's sweet, floral and girly without being overpowering. I already spent a bottle of it and now i'm using the precious edition. Gorgeous packaging by the way.

My HG perfume, I love it I always have a bottle on the go. It's very sweet, fruity and yet very sexy. I have the Body oftener in the same range and the combination works perfect.

Very sweet and creamy, tart at the same time.I detect no prominent apple, just fruitiness and a hit of floral. In the beginning it's almost too tangy and after drydown, the scent becomes sort of... Flimsy. I frequently wear it at work and people tell me I smell good and I can make a sale. However, during the holiday season, every man I showed this one to shook their heads. Just a heads up, ladies! Although I wear perfume for me and not others.
The scent is almost body splash-esque to me. Doesn't last at all. I get an hour and a half maximum. Bottle's cute, price is steep. I know how popular it is, it's just not for me.

I love this scent. It was fresh, fruity and clean but it probably has the shortest length of wear out of all my perfumes. The lady at the counter told me that certain fruit based scents don't tend to stay on as long. It's too bad because this really smells amazing. The packaging is so cute too.

This perfume is the most delicious smelling edt I have ever used in my life and let me tell you I have gone trough so many fragrances throughout the years. As opposed to my usual perfume taste, Nina is so sweet yet its' sweetness is not repelling as many other famous sweet perfumes. I would say It is a young smelling perfume but not in a childish, "tryiing too hard to be cute" way. It somehow manages to be so delicious saying "come closer and inhale me, I am yummy!" and it is also sophisticated.

I give 5 lippies to this perfume because it is sweet, magneticly beautiful, clean and deep. After the sweet opening it settles as more of a floral perfume with elegantly sweet undernotes..

This perfume makes me crave for the fall/winter. (I prefer fresh/green scents for the summer time..) Nina is one of my absolute favorite perfumes and it makes me warm and happy in a cool , breezy fall day.

I strongly reccomend you to test it if you are into sweet, clean, cottony-soft fragrances. Test it even if you don't like sweet fragrances- I didn't like them too. This one is exceptional..

Wow nice job with this fragrance, i love it so much it sets wonderful with my body chemistry, i own the EDT and is perfect for every day use! Not strong or overwhelming at all! Test before u buy it cuz not every single fragrance even if comes from the most famous house, like someone said to me, for every taste there is a rainbow of colors!!!!

Smelled it in the store and loved it however when I bought it and tried it on, I instantly hated it! This stuff did not work for me at all. I do not even know how to explain my problem with it..... It smells sweet but at the same time there is something very distasteful about the scent. Also, even if I did like the scent it seems like one of those perfumes that wear off too fast. This one will just sit in my cabinet to look pretty.

This is one of my favorites.. actually my very favorite for a very long time until I got tired of it. I have bought 2 bottles of this. It's very summery scent, fruity, little sweet and fresh. I will go back to it one day. My mom and sister loves this perfume too.

For some reason I feel like this perfume reminds me of my grandma. I'm not in LOVE with the smell but I love the bottle! It's one of the reasons why I bought this perfume.

I'm not big on perfumes because I feel like most of them give me a headache. But I felt like I just had to have it. I put on about 2 or 3 pumps/spritz and a few minutes later it was giving me a headache. Fine...I figured I'd deal with it. About an hour later, I asked my mom what she thought of my new perfume and she said she couldnt smell it. I smelled my wrist and my clothes and sure enough...I couldnt even smell it at all! I was very disappointed. It's not like I paid $15 for this! I just expected a lot more.

This scent smelled fresh when sprayed on but after it settled and dried it smelled way too fruity for me. I didn't like how it never settled into a complicated scent. It stayed very one note in my opinion. I would definitely not buy it again but if you like fruity scents this is the one for you.
