Nina Ricci L'Extase Eau de Parfum Spray 80 ml

Product Information

No other note can compete with the rose though, like the name suggests this really is a rose fragrance first and foremost. it's a very well blended combo of peppery rose,patchouli,dark woody notes,musk and something fruity rounded by benzoin and vanilla. I could imagine wearing it from autumn to early spring, day and night, but only if I couldn't use my other rose perfumes that I love more. The spirit reminds of Ricci Ricci by Nina which i fell in love with that dark purple campaign theme of 'midnight cat in Paris.

Update: I have come to appreciate this so much more since the first review and find myself reaching for it during the cold winter days.With a darkness that I feel others have said is a little like red wine and I totally get where they're coming from and the combination is wonderful. standing over her cauldron making a bubbling slightly burnt lush brew of spices and rose and wood sticks. To me, this smelled like a bowl of sweet berries, covered by a wet napkin, that's leaving the smell of wet moldy cloth on the berries. I remember the first time I sprayed it, I was quite taken aback, as I was unfamiliar with the concept of a jammy rose and thought this smelled very sweet and feared it teetered on cloying.

This mellows to let through a dry, antique-wooden-chest style cedar, and a dusting of the burnt/dried rose. I picture an alluring vampire queen wearing this perfume along with her deepest and darkest red lipstick. I almost see it as a kind of 3D structure, because there are these contrasting things happening all at once. A perfume I would not be mad at my baby for remembering as one of Mummy's night-time perfumes (when I'm grand and getting ready to go to a gala, obviously).First on - delicious plum liquer quickly followed by a rose lipsticky kind of scent which gets uplifted by musc during the day, never staying quite the same. It is also gourmand - when you first spray it you get intrigued in a positive way, but that lasts for only a few seconds and then the unbearably sweet rose comes with a vengeance and it is here to stay and it won't stop hitting you with a hammer constantly reminding you of its presence. Please read the full reviews and consider your own needs and preferences before making a purchasing decision. Is straight forward scent, imagine you standing at a fireplace and someone baking some lychee skin, the lychee skin heat up and dry up, the environment full of this aroma in the air.

I can imagine a single woman in her mid-20's wearing this out to the club in the winter, but also suitable for date night at a fancy restaurant (with lots of wine). It is like satin mood, but somehow the oud in sm grounds the fragrance where as here the vanilla and sweetness is spinning out of control. Upon spraying ERA, the first notes of pepper are definitely spicy, a little bit sour even, but still controlled.L'extase Absolu is for me a big and sweet jammy taif rose that is from beginning to end enveloped by rich, sweet, dense vanilla, the warmth of benzoin and comforting musks. The rose is still the star ingredient and smells much softer, but close to the skin the jammy quality remains very nicely and it will stay on the clothes in a warm way. As I have mentioned before, this is similar to Sensuous Noir by Estee Lauder but a more wearable version and amped up rose. But if you don't have the cash for OSM this is a stunning re-imagining of OSM crafted by the one and only MFK himself.

Every time I wear it, it elevates my mood and makes me wish I wore a long black backless dress and heels to match it.I do like rose, but it is such a common smell here where I live, that it would be really banal wearing a predominantly rose fragrance. There is sweetness, quite a bit actually but it certainly doesnt warrant a trip to the dentist and its skillfully added so it slips in seamlessly. The only one I don't have is the one with marine accord, that particular note smells very fishy, lol, to my nose.
