Description
Trini Girl, a new edition of the fragrance collection from hip-hop star Nicki Minaj produced by Elizabeth Arden, pays tribute to her Trinidadian origins. The distinctive doll-like bottle of the collection in the form of Nicki Minaj comes in bright pink and golden details this time.
The fragrance is a fresh floral-fruity blend. The top notes include litchi, blood orange, quince and sorbet. The heart is composed of apple blossom, Trinidadian chaconia flower and dewy leaves. The base of white musk and coconut cream ends the composition.
The fragrance is available as a 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum along with accompanying products such as a body lotion, a shower gel and a 236 ml body mist. Trini Girl was launched in 2016.

It smells like Versace Bright Crystal Absolu on me. I love it! This and minajesty are my top 2.

Funny enough, before I even looked at this page I thought this reminded me of something Escada would do, no particular one, just had an Escada-esque way about it….make sense? Lol it smells very summery like strawberries almost I do love this and am happy I bought it and honestly all of her perfumes I have liked, I’ve loved some and liked the rest, some of them have been done over and over again by other brands but so be it! This is a nice summer scent

First I’d like to say I am proud of my Trini roots, like “Nicky” who is making her dreams come true in a big way in the rap world. No hating on her, the same way I feel about celebrities such as Beyonce or Paris Hilton or JLo, despite the fact I don’t like everything they put out there as art form.
That being said, I think “Trini Girl” is quite a juicy fragrance. When I tested it at the perfume counter I got those fresh fruit notes which were very pretty and harmonious, reminded me of something…..”Tickled Pink” by Vickey Tiel. Then after half an hour it dried down to a comforting milky, creamy lactonic scent(coconut) and as the afternoon drew on, disappeared on my skin.
Now sometimes you need to buy something and spray it to get the best in it and not just get a tiny whiff of the juice from a perfume counter clerk. That being said, longevity is lacking on my skin. It’s a good light fresh scent. Onika has come a long way, congrats to this “Trini gyal” and for those who love this perfume, congratulations. Bottle is gorgeous too!

As a general rule im not really a fan of fruity fragrances i find most of them too sickly by the end of the day. I hate to say it but I really do enjoy this one! Not a nicki fan so would never have even tried it but a tester was there. Its got a lovely slightly tropical feel to it but also fresh and warm at the same time… Its hard to explain but its very unique and i haven’t smelt anything i could compare it to. Im really enjoying this i picked it up at a great price in chemist warehouse and don’t regret it. Lovely fragrance and it draws compliments lasts fairly well and its different. Not a fan of the bottle i prefer simple elegant bottles but thats not a dealbreaker as the scent is very pretty. I especially love the drydown of this its so addictive.

Okay I have a 1oz bottle of this, tried it twice, and long story short- I hate how it smells on me. If anyone in the USA is interested in a bottle sprayed twice, please private message me and I’ll happily give it to you. If you want to trade/swap fragrances, I’m open to that as well. Thank you.

A really likable perfume. Sweet, fruity, tropical and cozy. Definitely not offensive in any way because it doesn´t stand out. Smells like a nice sweet shower gel and hasn´t great longevity on the skin and maybe the price is a hunch of that. Lovely for a warm day. I could do without the cap on the bottle that I find a bit clumsy. All in all, I really like the scent and I think it´s great for a blindbuy but Onika is my favorite of the two with it´s aquatic tone.

Very different from what Nicki Minaj usually gives the perfume world. An improvement. It smells so much better on my mom so I gave it to her and she loves it. Her comments on the bottle were hilarious, she doesnt know who Nicki is lol so she thought it’s an Egyptian woman haha. She likes the bottle tho. When she wears it it smells so much like Charlotte Russe’s original Refuge perfume, which we both really really loved for years(and still own 3 bottles of it lol) so I asked her if she has that on. I love smelling it on her. It’s a classy scent yet youthful, smells sweet but alil “spicy” green to me, intense, must be the middle notes, but dont get any coconut,it wouldnt be fitting anyway.

This is a lot less sweet and more fruity compared to other Nicki Minaj perfumes but… I do not like this. It smells like cheap shampoo or cheap body spray. Smells very synthetic and the scent does not last at all. Please dont blind buy like I did based on the good reviews here.
Ruis – :
Yes, this does resemble Ibizza Hippy so if you liked that, this one is close. Fruity and tropical basically. I can’t say it was fantastic but its a decent scent if you like fruity fragrances. I think I liked her other scents better than this though but its just me. I owned Pink Friday and I think I prefer it

I bought the perfume because I loved the bottle at first sight. But then I put it on for a dinner date . I knew I found a new perfume because my husband couldn’t stop smiling and telling me how awesome I smelled. Good job Nicki.

* These are my personal experiences/thoughts with this fragrance. Yours/others may differ. *
Initial – fruit
Drydown – fruit + musk
Duration – 4-5 hours
Projection – soft
My Experiences – My nose is unable to discern any specific fruit fragrance; I just get a general sense of a mix of sweet fruit. Not at all unpleasant, but doesn’t really stand out to me. Will keep wearing, but it’s not a scent I can get excited about.
Quick Thoughts – sweet, fruity, unremarkable
Lotion – The matching lotion is a bit runny in consistency, but it’s okay. Scent is exactly like perfume, but doesn’t really help scent performance.
Shower Gel – Good lather, and very bright scent. The scent doesn’t linger on skin after bath, but smells very nice while in the shower.

Oh my god – if this really smells like Ibiza Hippie I’m def going to purchase! Same sentiment as blake.lee! In a rush of cleaning out my perfume cabinet I threw the bottle away a few years ago (empty, but still). I could still kick myself in the ass for doing that. One of the best Escada summer scents – fruity, sweet and fun but without the sticky factor. At least to my nose 🙂

If you’re going to criticize her bottles, go do that on Twitter instead of Fragrantica. This is a place to share reviews and opinions, not to be a whiny hater.

I only purchased this out of sentimentality. Many years ago, I purchased Ibiza Hippie in Sicily and wore it the entire first year I lived there. When I read this scent was similar I had to buy it. It really is similar only more citrus/tart and lighter. Ibiza Hippy was a little more sweet fruit and muskier drydown, but it’s close enough it put a smile on my face at the memories it triggered.

A very tropical fruity scent with blood orange, sorbet and litchi as the strongest notes I could smell. It’s the most fruity fragrance by Nicki Minaj, and also the only fragrance from her that I could really wear on myself (I have Pink Friday, Minajesty and Onika – I don’t really like the former two and I absolutely love Onika, but it smells much better when I spray on my pillow and bed for a comforting sleep than on myself though).
P/S: This fragrance also somewhat reminds me of the ~H2O+ Blushing Orange Shower and Bath Gel (orange and corriander scent) that I really love.

I am very surprised. Trini Girl by Nicki Minaj is very different! All her fragrances are sweet and fresh, or juicy. This one is like an explosion of exotic flowers and sorbet. Trini Girl is amazing like other fragrances by Nicki Minaj. Love her signature Pink Friday but this one is so woman-like 🙂
smeteedusep – :
Very fruity, along the lines of Gale Hayman Delicious Hot Pink.
sanya7575 – :
A carnivalesque combustion of exotic flowers blooming in dew under a waterfall. I can’t say I smelled anything like it before. It’s most dominant note is sorbet and therefore a day fragrance. The opening is sweet where you smell litchi and blood orange the dry down is crisp and zesty. I see Nicki Minaj has opened up her palette to her fans very unique and appealing fragrance. I have the smaller bottle of Trini Girl but will be buying the 3.3 oz size.
Dwaren6 – :
In my opinion, Trini girl is probably the most “mature” fragrance of Nicki’s collection. Sure, it still has this careless and Young-spirited fruity vibe, but in a more grown up way. I sure smell the fruits, but also something kinda musky or very lightly smoky, which is very very nice and unique for that type of fragrance. The sillage is very poor though, you constantly need to re spray it so people can notice it. Once again, the doll is very beautiful. I am very glad I blind bought it, just like all of her fragrances!!
Profinol – :
I have tried Pink Friday, Onika and Minajesy, i felt that they all smelled sort of the same. Trini Girl is the most different out of the bunch. I love it. It is fruity but in a fresh and clean sort of way. It is very fresh and clean smelling, not too sweet and sugary like the others, which i also happen to like. I just love the uniqueness of Trini Girl. I actually smell the apple blossom which is in the midnotes and the sorbet top note.I hope Nicki Minaj keeps on making new perfumes in the future.

Extremely disappointed in this fragrance it smells like a Glade air freshener that you keep in the guest bathroom for them to spray after using the restroom. It’s the most Similar to pink Friday deluxe edition it’s fruity but a harsh fruit kind of bitter and extremely synthetic. I recently returned it back to HSN and repurchased Onika.

Last night I went to shoppers drug mart to get some ice cream for my hubby ad I, and naturally I had to go into the makeup and perfume department so I’m looking at all the Xmas gift sets and I noticed a new Nicki Minaj bottle. I hate to admit this..but I absolutely love this. It is so fresh, ad fruity. Its not annoyingly sweet, but it is sweet like a tropical type sweet. It is absolutely beautiful and I will be putting this on my Santa list 🙂 now that I’ve explained how much I love the fragrance I have to say that the bottles make me want to throw them through a window. I mean how self absorbed can you be to make all of your perfume bottles be in the shape of you upper body and head. The only plus side for the bottle is that to open it you literally take her head off, it cracks my kids up
Saleex – :
We got this in at work.
It’s easily her most gorgeous scent, the beginning is fruity heaven, there’s a bit of spice in there but I don’t notice a dry down…it kind of just disappears…
Out of all of her scents this has the weakest longevity but the top is so amazing that I am definitely buying.

I tried this bad boy out for fun while being delayed at an airport. I must admit as a scent I was pleasantly surprised. It is wearable and soft. It is not overly sweet unlike most celebrity scents. It doesn’t last a long time- 3 hours on me but I wouldn’t expect something more long lasting at this price point. This is very much a skin scent and can be an interesting signature.
I would get this if it was not in that bottle, but I could never live down the shame of having such an atrocity on my nightstand. Especially that due to the fact it is not long lasting I would like to reapply and that bottle is easy to transport.

I did a post on my blog about this!!! It’s amazing my favourite one from Nicki so far! My new signature scent 🙂
