L'Extase Caresse de Roses

This is a lovely rose. Rose is one of my favorite notes, so I had high hopes for this (a blind buy), and I wasn't disappointed. It's lighter than the original L'extase. I would say this is a cross between Chloe and Stella McCartney, both beautiful roses. It has a bit of the freshness and smells very clean (though not at all soapy like Chloe) on the dry down, but the rose is richer like Stella, but less musky than Stella. This is a more modern rose. The original L'extase seems more mature and traditional. This would be appropriate for any age and really any environment-- it's interesting and a bit sexy but still clean and office safe. This is unique, and I'm really happy to have this. It's good from start to finish, though strong at first. My favorite part is the dry down. It has good projection and longevity. It's not a beast mode scent, but it lasts several hours with projection, and I can still smell a skin scent at the end of the day. I'll continue collecting roses, and this still isn't in my top spot (that is Aerin Rose de Grasse), but this is definitely a beautiful rose fragrance.

This can be the spring version of original L'extase.I can definitely see similarities between them,rosey and sweet raspberry gene is in both,but original L'extase is much more sweeter and warmer.it has a gourmand delight quality which is absent in L'extase caresse or if there,it's very faint,still new version is sweet but not in a gourmand praline way.it's fruity sweet and I can pick up sweet raspberrychouli blending with musky florals,lots of rose and peony and a sheer powdery veil of violets Nina ricci L'extase caresse is a very pretty sister of original extase.it's rosey,delicately sweet,sparkling,feminine and has a touch of freshness and powdery quality beneath it's sweetness. I see it a spring scent but it's easily wearable all seasons expect cold winters.it's a day perfume while original is better for nights.longevity and sillage are both less than original but still good and it's bottle is breathtakingly pretty Highly recommend to rose lovers,or to whoever is looking for a L'extase for hot months ❤❤❤❤

Strangely enough, to me Caresse has nothing to do with the original Extase. Nothing. Apart the bottle's shape. I was very excited to try this one out. When the time had come,... boo. Nothing. And I tried it again. Still nothing. It's all about roses and reminds me of YSL's Paris. Pleasant, nice but nothing exceptional. And I went for it a third time again. Couldn't accept that I love L'Extase and cannot catch this one. And then it bloomed into my face. It's like a velvet, cashmere silk on the skin. You cannot grap or catch it. It's lingering around you. It's sensual, beautiful, georgous. Like Laetitia Casta modelling for L'Extase (sounds cheesy perhaps, but this is what came to my mind instantaneously). Soft rose with a powdery touch done by the musk. I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist. I am in love.

I love it but if olny it lasted on my skin... after two hours on me i’ts barely there... so sad since it is a great, fresh rose. Not common to smell her this pure.

A sexy and elegant summer flanker with a distinctly watery, fruity vibe. I love it.
