Nina Nina Ricci 1987 Eau de Toilette

I encountered this fragrance shortly after its release in 1987 on a Swedish ferry. I tried it on my skin and thought I was struck by lightning! This was the scent that my grandmother had as body powder on her dresser in the bedroom, and that I loved so much. I came home and immediately had an Eau de Toilette gifted to me. Since then - I was 23 at the time - Nina 87 has accompanied me. What I love about this fragrance is its freshness (lemon, orange blossom, bergamot) in the top note, which slowly transitions into a subtly floral-fresh note and lasts about 8 hours with a very fine and light unobtrusive sweetness. The freshness has pretty much disappeared by the end, leaving a pleasant floral warmth like the sun on the skin in the evening. Yes, that’s what I associate with Nina 87. And so I was quite shocked when production was discontinued a few years ago. I had stocked up on a few bottles, but now I only have a few milliliters left. And I enjoy them very much!
