Who is Nicki Minaj?
Onika Tanya Maraj, better known by her stage name Nicki Minaj, is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, actress, and model. Born in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago and raised in the Queens borough of New York City, she gained public recognition after releasing three mixtapes between 2007 and 2009. She has been signed to Young Money Entertainment since 2009.
In 2010, Minaj became the first female solo artist to have seven singles simultaneously charting on the Billboard Hot 100. Her third studio album, The Pinkprint (2014), was preceded by its second single “Anaconda”, which peaked at number two on the Hot 100 and is her highest-charting single in the United States to date. Minaj made her film debut in the 2012 animated film Ice Age: Continental Drift. In 2013, she was a judge on the twelfth season of American Idol.
Nicki Minaj Pink Friday
The first fragrance in the collection is Pink Friday. It was released in 2012 and was inspired by Nicki’s debut album of the same name. The scent is a sweet and fruity fragrance, with top notes of starfruit, lotus flower, and jasmine. However, the main note is in the base; a deep caramel makes Pink Friday sweet and warm. The combination of fruits and caramel really reminds me of Viva LA Juicy from Juicy Couture.
Nicki Minaj Minajesty
Nicki Minaj Minajesty is one of the lighter fragrances in her perfume range. Red berries and lemon are the main notes which are fruity and create quite a youthful feeling. A tonka bean base adds some depth but really the fruity top notes dominate.

Nicki Minaj The Pinkprint
Nicki Minaj The Pinkprint is also a tropical fragrance. Passionfruit, nectarine and frangipani create a fruity and tropical vibe. However, its the coconut base note in The Pinkprint which adds longevity and character to the fragrance. I think The Pinkprint is my favourite Nicki Minaji perfume.
Nicki Minaj Onika
Nicki Minaj Onika is a sugary, sweet fragrance; it literally smells like white sugar! There is a hint of pear in Onika but really the dominant note is sugar!
Nicki Minaj Trini Girl
Nicki Minaj Trini Girl is a sweet and refreshing tropical fragrance. Imagine the scent of a sorbet shop on a hot summer day; you choose a scoop of litchi sorbet, one of blood orange and finally a coconut one too. I think Nicki Minaj Trini Girl has been quite popular and I recommend it as a relatively safe blind buy compared to the others in the Nicki Minaj range.
Nicki Minaj Queen
After a fresh bergamot and pear top note, Nicki Minaj Queen reveals a musky praline base which is reminiscent of Ariana Grande Cloud. Released in 2019, Nicki Minaj Queen is her most recent perfume and is created by a different company than her previous fragrances.
