Nina Christine is the creator of an elegant niche French perfume. The native New Yorker has a strong belief in the hidden positive psychological and emotional potency fragrance can bring. She served on numerous New York City charity boards over the years but is now focusing on the launch of her opulent Karma Love perfume. Having trained with Galimard in Grasse, France and the famed Parisian Olfactory School, Cinquieme Sens, Nina learned the process of scent accords, blending raw aroma materials into fragrant formations, mastering the analytical chemistry of both flavor and fragrance.

How did you start in the perfume business?

I've always had a passionate love for flowers and Perfume. Spending summers in Greece, France & Italy where fragrant flowers grow in abundance, I was inspired to capture these memories through scent...Originally the idea of creating a perfume was simply for donation purposes. I served on the Benefit Committee of numerous New York City charities, and I wanted to find a personal yet significant way to offer my contributions beyond simple monetary. The Perfume graced the silent Auction tables of my favorite charities for years. The Opera, Ballet, Italian and Scottish Cultural Causes, Princess Grace Foundation, just to name a few.

Describe the perfume…

The Perfume was inspired by the enchanting rose notes that caressed my senses while summering in the South of France. All the flowers are exclusively sourced from the Cote D'zure region so I would describe it as a gentle rose elegant feminine scent.

What compelled you to start your own brand?

I love to be creative and share beauty with the world. Bringing people joy even in the simplest way is important to me. I'm forever gifting my friends and family with floral bouquets from my garden honey from my Bee Hives. Creating something beautiful and sharing it with people has now become my passion. Growing up I was surrounded by nurturing Italian women with strong integrity, sincerity, and selflessness, a wonderful influence.
