Note to Readers: YES this is a FULL review of the perfume rather than an event coverage. Read on read on. I didn’t receive any complimentary perfume bottles or what-nots because I wasn’t able to really attend the full event. I am writing this review because I really love perfumes!
Last July 22nd, I was invited to numerous events that I tried my best to manage my time. First one up was the very intimate press launch of La Tentation De Nina held at Poetry and Prose Patisserie at Shangri-La Plaza. As much as I would love to cover the event, I wasn’t able to attend fully and just drop by because of time constraints. However, I had the opportunity to spray on the latest fragrance from Nina Ricci and being the frustrated pinay perfumista that I was, tried to put my olfactory senses on full force despite my colds & allergies to review this scent for you!

Staying Power
Sillage (How it emanates from your body)
KikaysiKat Tip: Staying power and Sillage (pronounced as See-arge) are different. Sillage is how people smell it from you. You know, when a lady walk past you and it’s either you wrinkle your nose from foul smell or close your eyes because she smells like an angel

I really love their new scent!! Super fresh and very feminine! <3 🙂 It was nice to see you last Tuesday! Too bad we weren't able to chat 🙁 Hope to see you on future events! 🙂
Ms. Kat, you forgot to watermark some of the photos again. Hopefully no one would plagiarize this. Nice review as always!!
Ms. Kat, does it stain clothes? Some perfumes leave a yellowish-brown stain that is unsightly for white or light-colored clothing. Thank You! 😀
Oo nga e! Nakakalimutan ko! There's always next time!
Nope it doesn't! 🙂 I suggest not putting perfume on your clothes. Sa skin lang!
Wrists, neck, and chest (cleavage area)
What does the top, middle and bottom notes mean Ms. Kath?
Hi Ms. Kath! I'm using the Pond's White Beauty for Acne-prone Cream. I love the powder-finish that it gives, kaso parang din naman nag-improve yung skin ko. Did you write a review about it? I'd love to read what you think about it. 🙂
I can't imagine wearing purple mascara… Love the tips! Very useful since I have contact lenses 🙂
Six hours of staying power? Neat, huh?
Wow your sense of smell is interesting though I gained a super power of hypersmell when I became a mommy, I need to use this to discover more perfumes. lolz. To add, I really don't blog about my perfumes because i like it to be secret. haha.
Sa skin lang din ako naglalagay ng perfume and sometimes sa hair.
Speaking of watermarks, I am lazy!!! But I put copyrights on my photos using Photoshop. You cannot see it pero nasa loob sya mismo ng photos.
the top, middle and bottom are layers. yung top mabilis mawala, as in light kaya mabilis mag evaporate. Usually first impression lies on the top layer. middle smell is mostly therapeutic then the bottom layer yan ung habang tumatagal bumabango. xx
The bottle sure looks posh. Your sense of smell is amazing. I can define smell like you do, you are so detailed galing 🙂
Sometimes our sense of smell can be a curse, imagine if something foul come across our noses like garbage or poop. HAHA!
You must really like this brand to have made a full review. I agree with what everyone is saying here, the bottles are indeed very posh looking. 🙂
I would love to own one because of the bottle! And 6 hours??? Worth it!
