Nina Illusion
Nina Illusion by Nina Ricci is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2024 in the designer price tier. It opens with yuzu, lemon and pink pepper, moves into raspberry and orange blossom and dries down to patchouli and bourbon vanilla. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Bourbon Vanilla Richer, boozier vanilla. Darker than the standard version.
