Extatic

As a lover of the older Balmain perfumes, I was eager to try this. The initial spray left me perplexed as to the notes. The only way I can describe this is a mixture of pleasant smelling notes that don't actually smell of anything other than unidentifiable florals to me. I'm sorry to be so vague in a review, but I really couldn't put my finger on what this actually is. I can smell fruity florals but perhaps my inexperience can't identify the notes. The smell is nice enough, but it's certainly not what I expected from Balmain either. It starts off as a typical crowd pleaser, woody in a pencil shavings sort of way and slightly spicy/floral. The secret of this perfume is in the drydown. I was not expecting this perfume to morph into anything other than nice, but meh, but OMG! What a surprise this had in store for me! After an hour or so this perfume becomes everything that I would expect from. Balmain. Chic French sophistication, gorgeous aroma of fruit, wood and slightly spicy, but all done in a very elegant way. The dry down is much nicer, as this morphs into a sweet, spicy, woodyness, Longevity on me is pretty good, it's still going strong after about 4 hours and silage is average. My conclusion is that despite the negative reviews, this is a beautiful and typically elegant French perfume, created under the umbrella of a highly respected perfume house. Please try and work with this perfume for the reward that you will reap from it. It's worth the wait.

What a baby! Clémence CC, i feel you eheh. On the first spray i get the impact of a mix between a sharp sweet fruitness/"florally" touch (the pear being more proeminent imo) but the osmanthus quickly rules and is the protagonist from then on: vaguely peach, because it's covered by incense. The incense, smokiness, woodiness stands out and it stays like that for a while. Then it calms down and the cashmere wood effect shows up , as the booster base note. There's depth in it, but like in a subtle velvety, not intrusive or heady way. Personally i love it, elegant fragrance.

I really like this! As soon as I tested it, I added it to my list of 'to buy' perfumes. It's a beautiful floral, with a balanced woody/cashmere base. The pear makes it slightly sweet in the beginning, but it evolves into a velvety smooth floral. It's not a very eloquent way to describe it, but it reminds me of fabric softener on freshly washed linen. I realise that makes it sound cheap (it doesn't smell cheap), but it's the best way of describing its powdery floral notes.

I love this scent but unfortunately, I cannot find it. I've been on a search for over 4 years but no luck yet. It doesn't smell artificial and overly sweet on me. It's exotic and a little bit spicy sweet and most definitely sexy fragrance. When I used to wear it I was always asked what I was wearing. So I would appreciate it if someone could send me the link to me buy balmain extatic. Thanks.

Scent of a classy lady. A beautiful, creamy, sweet fragrance for a confident, elegant and sophisticated woman. Warm and alluring. I feel like I got a confidence boost every time I spray it on. Literally makes me feel so independent, sexy and chic. Sweet pear, fragrant orchid, soft cashmere and osmanthus. The dry down smells a little powdery.
