Her name is Nina. She is young, beautiful and
mysterious. She is on a quest: a journey towards herself, through a
labyrinthine forest. Should she pass through the mirror? Or follow that snowy
owl? Bite into this apple? Or else cross this frontier? There is a gleam in the
distance. It is coming from a light in the window of a house, deep in the
woods. She tightens her cape and quickens her stride. Something is drawing her
there, but what can it be? Nina Le tentation de Nina arrives in front of the house. All is
quiet. She hesitates before going in, and thinks back to the tales of her
childhood... Thatched cottages lost in the forest, witches and their spells...
She then smiles at her fears and takes a step forwards. She looks through the
window. No one is at home. Just an apple. The Apple. That apple which is
constantly appearing before her and summoning her. Nina decides to go in. She
walks over to it. Picks it up. Bites into it.
Barely has Nina bitten into it, than the room
starts spinning around her. She no longer knows where she is. When the spinning
stops, she finds herself in a cake shop. A magic cake shop, of course. A delicious
fragrance is wafting through the room. Sweetness and temptation lie everywhere. It is as if she were in a bubble. And in this
bubble, there is a treasure. A treasure for the senses. It is all around her.
With everything she loves. Everything she desires, without being able to name
it. All these delights make her mind whirl, with the headiness of indulgence. It is quite normal, she has taken a bite. Unless she dreamed it. It is a macaron-like
fragrance; or a perfume-like macaron. This limited, highly sought-after edition
was born from the magical encounter between Ladurée and Nina Ricci. It opens a
new chapter in a fairy tale that started in 2006, and it is all about Nina. It
is an adventure punctuated with surprises, collectors’ items and irresistible
must-haves. Right from the beginning, its apple-bottle has become the
emblematic symbol of a generation.
It starts with a delicate sensation to the
touch. A soft-touch bottle of an infinite mildness. A trace has been left on
the apple’s skin: a hint of gold on a pure, rosy apple. La Tentation de Nina is a fresh, floral,
fruity Eau de Toilette, which is utterly addictive. It is the new creation of
Olivier Cresp, Master Perfumer and creator of Nina’s saga. In an awakening of
the senses, a macaron accord has been married to the distinctly singular
signature of Nina. Firstly, Italian bergamot envelops its citrus facets, before
a zest of grapefruit rounds off this incitement to desire. Then raspberries, almonds, lemons and
Bulgarian rose absolute join together in a surprising macaron accord. Finally,
Bourbon vanilla, white musk and sandalwood round off its sensual headiness.
