Les Espionnes du Tsar The Spies of the Tsar Roméa d'Améor 2009

Niche Ninotchka
What a misleading name. I expected something much more outstanding - but this scent is neither surprising, nor unique. It's done in the style of Coco Mademoiselle (but Coco M. is better!), a fruity fragrance mixed with woody notes. Girlish, playful - if you did a blind test, you'd never ever detect this was a "niche". I probably would have thought it was the latest "Nina"-flanker or something in this vein. Russian spies? Hardly. Maybe a cute, little Ninotchka in an embroidered red dress. Don't get me wrong: This juice doesn't smell bad at all. It smells pleasant. I simply don't see any point in buying such a fragrance for 120 Euros when Nina and Coco are cheaper, smell better and are readily available. Where's the point of "niche" here? Is it just the label?

Very true, Sherapop, the line disappointed me, too. I don't even bother to review the other fragrances by "Roméa".

I wholeheartedly concur with your closing two questions! This line was a huge disappointment to me. What happened to our beloved Pierre?
