The "Couture Gourmand." L’Extase is an Amber Floral fragrance created by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian (the same nose behind Baccarat Rouge 540). It is famous for its "Barely Rose" accord a mix of white petals and roses that feels like warm silk. It opens with a spicy, fruity pop of Pink Pepper, Peach, and Pear. The heart is a lush, romantic blend of Rose and White Flowers, but the real magic is the dry down: a decadent, "sticky" mix of Caramel, Benzoin, and Raspberry. It smells like a bouquet of red roses dipped in warm caramel sweet, sophisticated, and incredibly "expensive."
