This new fragrance will be the (candied) apple of your eye.

Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps has been a classic French scent since it launched in 1948. But while iconic scents will forever hold their own, there’s always a new generation to entice. After reviewing 70 scents offered from various perfumers, the company settled on a floral gourmand with candied apple as the heart note, complemented by lemon and peony (which give the perfume class, according to global marketing director Marjerie Barbes-Petit), and simply called it Nina by Nina Ricci (from $62, at department stores).

I don't like this new perfume. My boyfriend does. I think it's too much "sugar" for me. I like more floral.
