  The bottle is a super-flirty Christmas ornament, but the scent didn’t convince me. I was looking for something dessert-like and indulgent, and while it’s fresh and sweet, the gourmand side felt very weak. Strong bergamot hits at the start, then it drops to a subtle aroma of almonds and macaron jam, but in the dry down, it smells very common, like an aunt or a college roommate. It’s a daily scent that takes points off; the sillage is weak, and I have to press my wrist to my nose to smell it. We’ll see about the longevity. I wouldn’t buy it, but if someone gifted it to me, I’d be happy to wear it 🙂

  Seeing it in the store, the first thing I loved was the little bottle, which looks like a Christmas ornament and very flirtatious. But the scent wasn’t what I expected: it wasn’t a real edible sweet or dessert, but something fresh and weak. Strong bergamot is noticeable at the start, then it fades leaving a subtle aroma of sweet almonds and macaron jam, but in the dry down, it smells very common. It reminds me of the scent of several people I know, which takes points off because it’s not unique. The sillage is weak; I have to press my wrist to my nose to smell it. I wouldn’t buy it, but if someone gifted it to me, I’d be happy to wear it.

  The gorgeous bottle caught my eye from the very first minute, and so did the fragrance. First, I smell sweet, multicolored French macarons, then raspberry and almond, all bathed in the acidic touch of bergamot and lemon. It has nothing to do with the rest of the Ninas; even though the bottle is shaped like an apple, there’s no apple here. It projects strongly at first but softens quickly, and the longevity leaves much to be desired. It’s not serious or elegant; I wouldn’t wear it to dress up or for special occasions, but it’s sweet, flirtatious, youthful, and very pleasant.

  The gorgeous bottle attracted me from the very first second, and I absolutely loved the fragrance. The first thing I notice is sweet, multicolored French macarons, followed by raspberry and almond, all bathed in a tart touch of bergamot and lemon… It has nothing to do with the rest of the ‘Nina’ family; in fact, even though the bottle keeps the apple shape, there’s no apple here. It has a powerful opening but softens quickly, and longevity isn’t its strong suit—it leaves much to be desired. It’s not a ‘serious’ or ‘elegant’ perfume; I wouldn’t wear it to dress up or for a special occasion, but it’s sweet, flirtatious, youthful, and very pleasant.

  At first, it smells like YSL Parisienne, then Lolita Lempicka but without the tobacco.

  WOW! This is pure temptation. It steps out of the ordinary but not too far, landing right in the middle—exquisite, sexy, and addictive. I’d love to wear it on my girlfriend. It turns heads and is great for starting conversations. Gourmand notes are strong; I smell lots of raspberry, lemon, and bergamot that cut through the sweetness. The almond is almost lost among vanilla, sandalwood, and musk, making it sweet without being heavy. It sparks interest. It’s timeless, better for night, and for women 25 and up. It transforms an ordinary woman into a very sexy one. Highly recommended.

  WOW, this is pure temptation. The fragrance is exquisite, sexy, and addictive, though it lands halfway between common and special. I love that it’s gourmand; the raspberry and lemon with bergamot cut the sweetness so it doesn’t feel heavy, while the almond is almost lost among the vanilla, sandalwood, and musk. It’s a well-balanced scent that sparks interest and addiction in the opposite sex. It’s timeless, ideal for night, and for women 25 and up. It transforms a normal girl into a very sexy woman. Highly recommended 😉

  Very gourmand, nothing like the other Ninas. Smells like French macarons and raspberries, so tasty, but a pity it doesn’t last long on the skin.

  So delicious, but the sillage is moderate. Perfect for spring and summer. It’s not formal or seductive, but ideal for hanging out with friends on sunny days. Gourmand and fresh, absolutely charming.

  Colorful beans! Yes, it smells very much like those sweet “beans” (as we call them here in Chile). I really like this perfume; it’s very rich, coquettish, sweet, and fresh at the same time; I can’t resist the raspberry note, which is clearly perceived here, very fresh in combination with lemon and at the same time sweet but not cloying at all. It’s a very youthful perfume (more than I’d like :D), but still, I feel a great temptation to acquire it… maybe in spring.

  A simple and pretty perfume, although in my opinion, nothing extraordinary. I detect raspberry the most from start to finish; in the middle phase, I notice a smell similar to macarons, though not very well done; the base is citrusy and very similar to the original Nina Ricci, the red apple one. Overall, I’ve liked the perfume, but honestly, I’d only buy it for the bottle; it’s gorgeous =)

  A very youthful fragrance whose smell reminds me frankly of strawberry gum. It doesn’t seem elegant or present, nor a perfume I’d buy as part of my vanity. I see it more as a nested, sweet, and childish perfume. Appropriate for a very young audience or for those who like to add that sweet touch to their look with their scent.

  It’s a super youthful fragrance that frankly smells like strawberry gum. I don’t find it elegant or commanding, nor something I’d keep in my vanity. I see it more as a childish, sweet, and cute perfume, made for a very young audience or for someone who wants to add a sweet touch to their look with the scent.

  This perfume is a real temptation! From the visual aspect, the bottle is gorgeous, to the scent: sweet, soft, delicate… I loved it!

  Well. Let’s start with the bottle; it’s beautiful, delicate, youthful, and overly feminine. Its fragrance is a real temptation! I was fascinated by this fragrance; it’s my style. Youthful, fresh, sweet, and above all, GOURMAND! 10 points!!

  Nina’s Tentation is an affirmation of the harmonious-conceptual conflict that defines the Nina line. Tentation opens with a very sober, discreet, light, and sensitive bergamot; a citrus of low complexity that serves as a prelude to the core. The heart is the most striking part; as mentioned, Nina’s Tentation doesn’t share any resemblance with the rest of the line’s fragrances. It embraces a sweet and cloying burst due to the excessive concentration of macarons; and while the strategy of using acidic and fresh notes (lemon and rose) to generate dimensionality and avoid excessive sweetness is normal in this line, I regret that using almonds didn’t work (Nina’s Tentation is cloying). The heart is a sharp, high-rigor sweet with a spicy and vigorous background; it seems the components were combined from glycosidic links, thanks to monosaccharide membranes. The base is a scarce complement to the heart’s spectrum; the only thing that will stand out is the vanilla, since on my skin, sandalwood and musk are just catalysts that favor a sillage and projection that are still reproachable. The discordant complexion between components is noticeable; there’s clearly an accidental (?) abuse of macarons, as well as an over-limitation of citrus, not to mention that almonds enhance the macaron content, causing them to acquire an edge and pierce the nostrils, all mixed with a disoriented citrus border. The best use was the rose, in my opinion, because the touch of freshness and freedom is appreciable in the experience this perfume offers. Tentation isn’t a particularly serious, mature, artistic, well-balanced, or elegant fragrance, but it’s simple, carefree, cheerful, and fundamentally fun. Appropriate for the lightness and naturalness of jovial, smiling afternoons. Inspired by the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale, as well as the sweetness that overflows youth and innocence (literally). A bit more sillage and longevity would have helped make this perfume more special, something a bit distinguished… But simply, it’s just an “It’s okay”.

  The Tentation de Nina is a conceptual paradox that breaks the Nina line. It starts with a sober, light bergamot, a simple citrus that introduces the body of the fragrance. The heart is the most striking part: it has nothing to do with the rest of the collection. It’s a sweet, cloying explosion due to the excess of macarons. Although the brand uses lemon and rose to balance the sweetness, here the almonds fail, and the result is cloying. It’s a sharp, vigorous sweet scent, as if the ingredients were mixed up chemically. The base is scarce; only the vanilla stands out, while the sandalwood and musk on my skin just help the sillage and projection a bit, though they remain disappointing. The blend is discordant: it feels like an abuse of macarons with disoriented citrus and almonds that add an edge, pinching the nose. The only thing that works is the rose, which brings freshness and freedom. It’s not serious, mature, or elegant, but it’s simple, carefree, cheerful, and fun. It’s good for cheerful afternoons and inspired by Little Red Riding Hood’s innocence. It would have needed more sillage and longevity to be special, but in the end, it’s just an ‘okay’.

  Bottle: This plush fuchsia apple is soft to the touch and so feminine, with a golden touch that proves it’s a real temptation. Its golden eyes finish the job, making this little bottle exactly what we’ve always wanted to hold, transporting us to a world of sweetness. Where the inner child fuses with the mature young woman, in a landscape of macarons and desserts, as if we were in Versailles facing Marie Antoinette herself. Then to use it on a date, a special night, in short, our most important moments. And what about the scent that previous reviews haven’t mentioned… I love this fragrance. Personally, I like to wear it on the coldest days (autumn-winter).

  The bottle is a velvety fuchsia apple, soft and super feminine, with a golden touch that screams temptation. Its gold details make it irresistible, as if taking us to a sweet world where the inner child mingles with the mature woman, in a macaron and dessert landscape, Versailles style with Marie Antoinette herself. Perfect for dates or special nights, those key moments. And as for the scent… everyone has already said it, but I love it. I use it a lot in autumn and winter when it’s cold.

  Overrated for what it is. Just mix lemon with sugar and vanilla, and it smells more like Nina’s Tentation. I’ve never been able to connect with any perfume from this brand; they all seem average, overrated, and very similar, plus excessively popular. There are countless better gourmands on the market for the same or lower price… As for sillage and longevity, they’re decent enough, not tragically poor like all the Nina line perfumes I know. Re-reading my review, it seems pretty negative, like I hated the perfume, but honestly, I just don’t like it. It’s not something I’d buy, but if someone gifted it to me, I’d use it happily. I recommend it for young girls experimenting with their first perfumes or for someone looking for a sweet daily scent (and who doesn’t mind spending money on something like that) haha. Rating: 5/10.

  Sounds a bit boring to me, I don’t know why, but I’ll give it a chance. It feels very synthetic; the acidity is very noticeable, like an overripe raspberry.
