Rose Extase

Thank you @BCBborn for the rec. I was looking for a jammy rose and I've found it. Sweet, creamy and fruity. The tartness of the raspberry keeps it from going over that edge from interesting, luscious rose to eh ~ another Lush wannabe. This isn't anyone's wannabe. Well composed, masterfully blended and beautifully presented (the bottle, when you get it out of the package and are able to look at it from all angles, is a replication of a ladies pocket book with the old fashioned hard clasp on top. Pink, gold and touches of black make this a very feminine addition to your perfume vanity. Also, very heavy and well made. It feels lovely in the hand and it's easy to control where you spray, very nice to have that these days). When I saw Kurkdjian was the perfumer, I was a little shocked at the price. He truly is a talented artist. The whole L'Extase line is worth checking out if the notes appeal to you, because the value is here. To my nose it's not a Delina dupe at all. Delina is much fruitier and sharper. The only thing they have in common is the rose. That's not a dig against Delina, it's just I would hate to have someone buy this beauty thinking they were going to get a sister and then be disappointed bc this is worth owning for itself. I know I'm going on and on about it, but when you get beauty and craftsmanship at this price point, it's worth trying to spread the word. I enjoy it so much, I ordered a back up bottle.

Everyone has got to stop comparing this fragrance with Delina. Both were released in 2017 so they aren’t suppose to be dupes. Each fragrance has to be reviewed on it’s own merits, not trashed because it doesn’t smell like another fragrance it’s been compared to. The only notes they both share is musk and vanilla, even the roses are not the same type so of course Rose Extase does not smell like Delina!! However this is a beautiful fragrance. It comes in a really gorgeous bottle, it looks beautiful on a dresser and there’s no chance of the juice being spoiled by light. It is a delicious jammy rose, that is creamy and marshmallow like. It is very feminine and in my opinion it is a winter fragrance because it is quite sweet. It is jammy due to the berries and raspberry notes and gets the marshmallow creamy sweetness from the vanilla berry combo. It is well blended and lasts all day. I love it. I think die hard rose lovers are disappointed in this rose fragrance due to it being a sweet/fruity rose. They are expecting a stereotypical dusty, suffocating granny rose or maybe a fresh green, dewy freshly cut rose. This one is a new take on rose and I personal prefer this one to both the above. Besides this fragrance is classed as a floral wood regardless of it’s name. It is not a mature fragrance at all but it’s not for teens either. This is a winner in my opinion.

I have finished yesterday a full bottle of Rose Extase and I have been enjoying it so much. It’s such an incredible warm, sweet, powdery but powerful, rose scent. While the scent is linear and similar to other rose centred scents on the market, what makes this stand out apart is its potency, the quality of juice and the incredible affordability. Compared to the original L’Extase, this version has a more minimalist composition and feels so much more powdery. It maintains the fruitiness facet, thanks to the presence of red berries in the opening. These intense, sweet and tangy fruits, paired with juicy raspberries and rose is a match made in heaven. Smells so delicious, rich and alluring! Like all the fruits are dipped into powdered sugar. But it’s not a headache inducing kind of sweetness, the saccharine type, more like the sweetness found in overripe fruits. Add to all the sweetness coming from the fruits, the sweetness of vanilla from the base and the warmth given by amberwood. This is Rose Extase, a fragrance that smells as beautiful as the baby pink bottle looks like! Great performance and price, as the rest of the line! If you love a fruity, powdery, sweet rose and you can find it, you won’t be disappointed in this. It’s a gem! I don’t own the original Delina so I can’t comment on how similar Rose Extase is to that.

I have the original L'Extase as well as Extase Caresse de Roses. The Rose Extase is my second favorite of the three. It takes the sweetness of the original L'Extase (my favorite of this line by a mile) and amplifies it, while omitting the dark spiciness of the original. The creamy pink bottle perfectly represents what's inside. Rose Extase is much sweeter and much more gourmand than I was expecting. The overall impression to my nose is a soft, creamy, raspberry vanilla marshmallow. It smells edible in a literal sense. If you've ever eaten Campino candies, this smells a lot like the strawberry version. The Rose blooms very gently as the scent develops, but the strongest impression is sweet fruity vanilla. This fragrance feels very youthful to me. It's something I would have loved to wear in middle school or high school. I'm not sure how this will be received by the 30+ crowd, but as a 32 year old myself, I plan to wear this on days that I want to feel cozy and nostalgic for the simple joys of adolescence. In terms of performance, this is a powerful fragrance with excellent longevity. Be careful not to over-spray. As a side note: I'm considering layering this with Extase Caresse de Roses which I find way too cold and sharp. The soft, billowy sweetness of this one might take the edge off. I'll update with my results.

She is the epitome of a rose perfume. She's impeccable. And I love her for exactly this reason. She is also the well-mannered grown-up self of Tresor Midnight Rose. Whereas Midnight Rose is an obnoxious, loud, way out of the line (any line) teenager with smeared eye makeup and psychedelic lipstick (or is she just a simple psychopath), this one is a sociable lady who sits up straight in her pink pencil skirt, and definitely knows how to hold her teacup, and a conversation. Yes, I see duchess slant, thick silk blouse, possibly with a pussy bow, and slightly mischievous smile on her rosy lips. Yes, all that. Rose marmalade on her scones included. This is what I imagine Kate Middleton would smell like. Although I bet she doesn't smell anything like that at all. Too obvious. Anyhow. It's a silky jammy rose with an uplifting sweet facet of raspberries. And musk somewhere buried underneath. I think I might fall in love with it. And I'll possibly finish this bottle (haven't happened to me in some 10 years... coz I just don't like finishing my bottles), and move on to the deep-dark sister of L'Extase Rose Absolue next. Update on day2: I might buy a back up of this understated stunner. Its the same gorgeous rose as in my beloved (and discontinued) Miracle So Magic.

Oh my! It isn’t often that a perfume moves me, makes me laugh and want to hug myself out of sheer joy, but this one is such a happy pretty scent I can’t help it! This is rose that is fluffy and airy and sweet - I totally get the Turkish delight comparison. There’s absolutely no tartness to it, which is kinda the Delina signature. The vanilla in this is done so well, as is the musk. When one says “jammy rose” one thinks of a thick almost syrupy rose. But to me, this is raspberry rose flavoured cotton candy, if such a thing exists. It feels like cotton candy to me - and I’m talking about the texture, not the scent. Melt in your mouth. Delicious. Simply joyful. I want to bathe in this scent. I want to float on this pink cloud wearing a pink cashmere sweater. This was a blind buy, and while L’Extase took me a minute to understand (after which I fell head over heels in love) this was love at first sniff. I can see this layering really well with Bath and Body Works You’re The One, although for now I am absolutely enamoured with this just the way it is.

It starts in a sweet rosy way, turns a little fresh, little sugary as a grapefruit, but then settles in a non gourmand sweet rose. The musk here is quite prominent in my opinion. Softly syrupy, boozy, wine-like, but most importantly really rosey. This is how I thought Tresor Midnight Rose will smell like, but unfortunately it turned out being a praline grape bomb with a plasticky feel and no rose. Thankfully, we have Rose Extase now. Worthy of a testing in my opinion. The rose is the exact same as in Body Burberry, which I like, it's a beautiful rose, but in Rose Extase it has a sweet balmy facet, like La Vie Est Belle EDT Florale, which has a flirty sweetness, worthy of a sniffing as well and not a cloying walking block of sweetness like its mother. It has something chic in it. Very happy, optimistic and feminine! And I don't even like sweet scents for the most part, but this is a yes. Good job Nina Ricci!

i love this perfume. it's very simple, raspberries, rose and vanilla, but it smells so good that i can't stop sniffing my wrist whenever i'm wearing it. 💘💗💖💘💖💗💖💘 it does start off very... like you just picked an actual fresh rose and it still smells very much green, prickly, red flower. after the drydown, 😍. the vanilla becomes more prominent and sweetens up the perfume by quite some. i can't explain how feminine this perfume is. it is like the parallel genre to chantal thomass 'o-sez moi', with o-sez moi being a bit more... lacy and flirtatious and not outwardly or obviously romantic, you have to kind of just get the vibe it's meant for and dress it up, and rose extase a tad more fluffy and flirtatious and more boldly in its own personality so it can smell generically sweet if you don't find it particularly appealing. they evoke romance and are the prettiest perfumes in my collection.

My favourite rose perfume. I have the bottle on my desk just so that I could smell the nozzle every now and again. The rose is in full bloom, very fragrant and sweetened by the berries. These notes stay prevalent from spray to dry down where they meet with the amberwood and vanilla. The silliage is moderate/strong for about 5 hours before it becomes a skin scent. It's cute and flirty, great for wearing during the day and spring/summer. Edit: I recently received a sample of Delina and I would say that they have similar DNA, however Delina is heavier, more of a night affair, whereas Rose Extase is brighter, something you could where anytime. Where Delina deviates is the addition of incense and nutmeg, making it warmer and smokier. It's also a beast in terms of silliage and longevity. I actually prefer Rose Extase because it's more my vibe, but I could appreciate the complexity of Delina.

I almost sold this one at the same time as I sold L'extase Rose. I kept it as a work/ casual scent, but there is nothing casual about it. A woman in the park followed me and told me that when I walked passed her, there was a beautiful scent trail, and that she had to follow me and compliment me. That was my first compliment and they've been pouring in since. The difference is that it performs better in the heat! I wore it a lot during spring and never once got a compliment then, and I didn't enjoy it as much either. All I smelled was rose and sweet. Now in the summer, I can smell the pepper and rasberry, and it's transformed into an amazing scent! UPDATE: It's almost spring, so I layered this with Kayali Sweet Diamond, and it's great for transition weeks. Already received a few compliments with this combo.

I bought this off someone on Mercari, and what a little gem! I'm a rose and sweet perfume lover--I'm constantly seeking out something romantic, ladylike, with a gourmand edge but without being cloying. This is incredible. Plush pink rose petals dipped in vanilla sugar with fresh, tart juicy raspberries backed up with a soft cloud of clean musk. This is light and fresh, but magically sweet at the same time. My first thought was "springtime!" Although I think this perfume would be lovely in any season or time of day, to my nose it feels incredibly springlike. The bottle is spot on as to what you get with the scent inside. Packs a punch for an EDT. I have tried L'extase as well; this one is fresher and more youthful. As many have said, a safe blind buy for a rose lover.

Nina Ricci's "Rose Extase" opens up very fresh, fruity, sparkling, girly and flirtatious but, on my skin, quickly dries down to become a more rosey, musky, woody, sensual, sweet and, to my nose, undoubtedly sexy scent. This can be worn by any person at any age, who can relate to and enjoy this kind of musky, woody, rosey and sweet scent on and around them. And at any season as well, maybe(?) The sprayer on my bottle is really awful, though, literally performs as a garden hose, but the juice in the bottle almost makes me forget about that - almost - and I am at serious risk of overspraying this just because how utterly delicious, I think it is. The sillage and performance are both amazing, though. On me Rose Extase lasts around 12-14 hours.

This perfume ticks every box. The design of the bottle is pure 1950s vintage elegance, like something Marilyn Monroe might have had on her dressing table. Heavy enamelled flesh pink glass with gold trim. The first blast of this is roses, berries, raspberries, gentle candy vanilla, musk and a hint of baby powder - all quite cherubic. It dries down into a gourmand makes-upy raspberry-rose, which is extremely beautiful and very very feminine. The comparisons with Delina are true but this is a blunter version, nowhere near as accomplished, but I actually prefer this and find it more glamorous. It’s very modern in its character, but it also carries a potent vintage vibe. Wearing this does make me feel a little like Marilyn...

I love Nina Ricci Rose Extase. I'm actually a fan of everything I've tried so far in this range, but am especially a fan of the OG, this one and Rose Absolue (I still need to try Caresse de Roses). Rose Extase is the most ladylike, restrained of the bunch, so far, a pretty lipsticky rose (from the benzoin mostly, I think). It's heavier on the rose than the original (which is heavier on the raspberry hard candy), but not as intoxicatingly rich and intense as L'Extase Rose Absolue (which is very similar to Delina, to my nose, at least). Rose Extase is what I reach for during the daytime and when a heavier or sweeter scent might be a bit de trop...! This one's a big LOVE for me. <3

The bottle is weighty like a vintage bottle. It’s very pretty! A gorgeous design. Beautiful pink and gold highlights. Spritz... a HUGE rose bomb. Powder and a very intense classic jammy rose. WOW! This has amazing silage and longevity. The roses smell genuine and pulpy and classic as if the whole concoction has been fermented in rose water, rose jam and dusted with sweetened talc! Hug anyone? I really like this but be warned it can be overwhelming! It lasts on my skin and clothing in to the next day For the rose lovers , definetley try this beauty.

Very Barbie, fresh and youthful. Think a raspberry ripple ice-cream with a tart, fuschia raspberry syrup paired with a dreamy vanilla and a powdery drydown. Then comes the familiar and opulent oriental rose that is so Francis Kurkjian, saving the fragrance from turning too juvenile and adding a hue of sophistication. It's quite a translucent scent but carries enough depth without being too cloying or heavy. She is a cousin of Delina and shares striking similarities, but she is more 'girl next door', fun and approachable. My husband loves it.

I adore this! I will be sad when I run out since it’s discontinued. I will have to find a dupe. Please share if you have any ideas of an inexpensive one! VGG is more fresh, berry and sharp, in my opinion. Rose Extase isn’t complicated, but it’s so comforting. It’s a vanilla, powdery rose with a musky amber dry down that is divine! I don’t get a lot of berries, maybe a hint in the opening! Must love powder and this can be cloying in high heat. Francis Kurkdjin is a perfume genius!

This perfume smells amazing to me, a beautiful fruity rose.😍 The rose is very prominent, so if you expect a very tart and fruity perfume this is not it. It's still a gorgeous scent, I smell the red berries in the opening, and the raspberry mixed with rose🌸, that's what I get. Plus, it last all day, I blind bought this perfume and it did not deceive me! I love perfumes that are done by Francis Kurkdjian, a great perfumer!! Overall, it's an 8,5/10 for me. ✨

If you love jammy rose and raspberry don't look anywhere else. You found THE ONE. This is a wonderful cloud that will settle in a delicate powdery rose. I can detect all notes, including the red berry at the beginning. Maybe the only negative side is that longevity is not huge (about 3 hours), but in line as EDT. Pleasant for day and night, safe office scent, safe blind buy if you love fruity rose fragrances. 5/5

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful rose. This perfume is a celebration of rose. This rose is sweet almost jammy but very romantic. Does anyone do a rose fragrance quite like Mr Kurkdjian? If you are a rose lover, this is the safest of blind buys. I sometimes spray it on myself going to bed as I feel it is so fresh, so soothing and simply gorgeous. Good longevity and good sillage. It is a 10/10 for me.
