Nina Ricci L’Extase

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."

Fragrance Notes :

• Top : Pink Pepper, Peach, Pear.
• Heart : Rose, White Flowers, Jasmine, Raspberry.
• Base : Caramel, Siam Benzoin, Amber, Vanilla, Musk, Patchouli, Virginia Cedar.

Care and Use :

• Apply : This is a "power floral." Apply 3–4 sprays. It has a beautiful, romantic projection that is noticeable without being aggressive. You can expect a longevity of 7–9 hours on the skin, and it clings beautifully to fabrics like wool or silk.
• Occasion : The ultimate Date Night and Winter fragrance. While the rose is present, the heavy caramel and amber make it better suited for Fall and Winter. It is designed to evoke a "Parisian boudoir," making it perfect for evening events, dinners, or romantic nights out.
• Store: Because the juice is rich in resins (Benzoin) and Caramel accords, it can thicken and darken if exposed to heat. Keep it in its box or a cool drawer to ensure the raspberry and pink pepper stay "bright" and don't get lost in the base.
