Nina Ricci L'Extase Eau de Parfum Spray 80 ml

Product Information

The "burnt" notes to my nose are of burned, caramelized vanilla sugar, such that the essential oils are being released instead of destroyed. It does draw a lot of similarity to Oud Satin Mood but it isn’t as dry, smoky and resinous as the original. Maybe it fits my personality and body chemistry better but I find that side by side une rose is not as jammy, boozy or sweet.

Based on reviews the pink one does not seems like something I would wear often so I got this one (the only one left).I don’t get any of the rose or actually none of the notes, it smells like a very weak something sweet, but after about 15mins it’s all gone. I sprayed it last night before bed and could still smell it the next morning, so you're getting a pretty good value with your money. So many perfumes claim to have Oud in them, but I have smelled real oud and real oud is a bomb and you know it when you smell it. Becoming a member gains you access to incredible offers on cosmetics, fragrances, hair care products, and more. I will say that to me it smells better when you catch wafts of it as you move rather than smelling it directly from your skin.

The woody base notes are smoother, more blended with the amber and rose, whereas here they're peppery and dry and have that competition with the caramel. I know everyone loves this one but unfortunately on my skin, I really wasn't keen on it especially in the opening. It's quite similar to Kayali Elixir, which I tried first, but longevity on this one is much better, it's a good performer. I think this can be worn by all ages it is not age sensitive so you could be in your 20s and wear this just perfectly.

I gave myself some time to “work” with this fragrance and have fallen completely in love with it over the past year. The key accord here is sweetness, though there is some nice fruity and rosy under-tones to the fragrance. On my skin, the warm, sweet benzoin and vanilla makes this a very sweet but tempered candied rose for me. Men can get away with this, it has a certain magical chemistry with a man's skin that gets women's attention for sure, i wore it a few times and did get compliments that did put a smile on my face and made me feel so good! People said it smell like rose but to me after blending all the note Benzoin+ pepper + cedar = fireplace vibe and someone burning the rose petal.

It starts with a blast of the Spicy and Smoky Taif Rose (combined with Pepper and Patchouli), the same smell out of the nozzle, then a sweet gourmandish Vanilla and Benzoin join in and it stays that way for many hours.This mellows to let through a dry, antique-wooden-chest style cedar, and a dusting of the burnt/dried rose. It lasts long on the skin and I can still smell it on a sweater that I folded up over two months ago.
