Chant d'Extase Nina Ricci for women

I’m so in love with this, it would be my signature if it was stronger and projected more. It sits very clothed to be skin unfortunately.
But the scent itself is soooo good.

I don’t think this is as masculine as others claim. I consider it femenine leaning, it’s just a clean lightly powdery fresh smell. This is such an odd bag of notes: ginger , rose caramel and aquatic.. to me it smells as confusing as it sounds. It isn’t straightforward fresh because the sweet notes thicken it. It’s also somewhat powdery and I don’t care for the inclusion of rose. It’s okay, a bit similar to Bon Bon. The bottle itself is so cunt

I think, judging from the mixed reviews, this is a perfume that either works or doesn't work for you. Personally, I love it. It's unique, like salty caramel with a twist. It's my first Maison Francis Kurkdjian perfume and I find his creativity so delightful. About the longevity, I think it gets 'eaten' up on some skin types or people go nose blind to it. I sprayed it on my blouse a week or more ago and I can still smell it. However at the end of the day of me first wearing it, i don't tend to notice it. It's not a perfume with a huge sillage. This is the only thing I wish was different cos the scent is so delicious and lovely I want to smell it all the time. I think if you like the notes and if you're lucky enough to find a bottle at a good price like I did, do not hesitate.

I loveee the dry down of this perfume it just smells just like heaven i did not like that top notes are bit spicy but it is ok perfect for summer

This is such a beautiful scent, it smells like the seaside and salted caramel. Beautiful all year round, but especially great for late summer. It’s subtle and unique. One of my favourites.

I don’t know how this scent doesn’t have at least a 4.3 rating on here. The only downside to it is the longevity on skin is not great (much better on clothes). This is the most sophisticated and sexy beachy perfume I’ve ever tried. I love the way it is both aquatic and gourmand. It’s also floral, but not prominently, and would smell just as sexy on a guy or a girl.

If you were ever wondering if a fem aquatic could be ultra seductive and sexy, this is it right here. Gotta be okay w gourmands to enjoy this one.

Hot date night in the summer type beat. ✔️

Warm aquatic, unisex in my opinion. Kinda reminds me of middle school when all the boys wore Cool Water plus some caramel maybe (that note does smell nice). Non offensive daytime type of fragrance. Not really my cup of tea overall but the real problem is the longevity. I swear couldn't smell this after 10 minutes! Maybe I would have appreciated it more or noticed some complexities if it lingered. Worse performance than some $5 body sprays. Very pretty bottle though.

Well this is a beautiful gourmand aquatic fragrance, like a mix between Womanity, Miss Dior Cherie, and Pure Xs. Sounds weird, but it's delightful and very refreshing for summertime. Unfortunately longevity is abysmal, I can smell very faint traces of it after just one hour or so. I'm not sure if it's my skin or if it gets better in time, but as much as I like the scent, having to re-apply every hour is really not ideal. What a shame.

I really wanted this perfume, if I'm being honest, mostly for the bottle and box. The scent was unknown to me, so it was a blind buy. It's not a very complex scent, it is sweet and there is a slight marine note to it, that's about it. It's pleasant, fresh and appropriate for spring and summer, though I will also give it a go in autumn and winter.

This just arrived and I have been wearing it for two days now.
I detect immediately the ginger and tart note of the raspberry, followed by a fresh marine note.

The first thing I realised is how similiar this scent profile is to D&G Pour Femme. Same identical note shines all along from opening to dry down, but this is how I wanted it to smell and perform.
Very good sillage and even better projection at arms length. It lasted about 6 hours. Perfect number for summer and I'll take it with me to Greece, as planned.

Try it, it's nice.

In my hometown, we have a festival on Halloween that takes place right near the beach. Caramel popcorn and treats, fruit-flavored candies, salt air, sand and a whole slew of inviting, natural scents permeate the air, combining summer with autumn. It's a deeply magical experience, one I look back on with great happiness. This is exactly what Chant D'Extase is like. Raspberry, caramel and ocean water, with a hint of tangy spiciness from the ginger and pink pepper. This most unique perfume I've ever tried. It's the perfect middle point between airy, marine aquatic, and sweet, fruity gourmand, with some gentle floral notes just underneath.

I've never smelled anything like this in perfumery, and it's so creative and magical. It truly fits the ethereal, fairy tale, almost Victorian mermaid art on the box, and the stunning, jewel-like, ocean-hued bottle. (Is this the most beautiful perfume bottle of all time? I don't know, but it's up there.) I feel like I've stumbled upon some mythical treasure. On my skin, it creates a sensuous, intimate scent bubble. And to my pleasant surprise, it LASTS! I sprayed one morning at 9 AM. 12 hours later, I could still detect it on my wrists, albeit with the softest of sillage.

It's wishful thinking on my part, but Francis Kurkdijan should reformulate this, or at least create a new version for his own perfume house. If this were given the sillage and power of his other main scents, this would dethrone Baccarat Rouge as the perfumery darling.

Smells better after drying, reminds me Boudoir Vivienne Westwood.

The first Time I tryed it, it reminded me of Aqua di Gioia but is not, after one day that I let it sit It totally change to a more delicious fresh salty caramel marine fragance. Super nice perfume, I wil Buy again ,on my skin lasted 2hrs I had to reaply

I blind bought this fragrance after reading reviews and putting it on my wishlist for a couple of months.

On my skin, the opening is slightly screechy jasmine with a burst of pink pepper, tart and juicy raspberry, warm ginger and watery bright lemony nuances.

After sitting on the skin, the rose, which is reminiscent of rose water, magnolia, and jasmine blends to creates a delicate and quiet floral note that is present in the background of the dry down. On the dry down, there’s an element of clean, fresh, and salty marine air mixed in with a buttery caramel, vanilla, musk, and driftwood. On paper, the scent smells like a peppery, jasmine tea aquatic freshie.

This fragrance is unique, and although I didn’t like it at first, I let it sit for a day after buying it and it quickly became a strong like. To my nose, this frag could lean slightly masculine or cologne-like due to the ambergris, but is ultimately unisex. There’s no projection or sillage for this scent, as it sits close to the skin with no lotion or additional oils. It projects moderately with lotion and blooms in hot weather, creating an intimate scent bubble.

This is a big love in my collection. So much so, that I broke my rule of no back ups for this scent. I was fortunate to find a great deal on EBay and snatched it up because it is beginning to be a harder to find fragrance. My collection is large, but I don’t ever want to be without this one. Like others have mentioned, this feels like being on a beach. The ocean spray is in the air and maybe there is someone selling fresh salted caramels on the boardwalk. The fragrance is beautiful from beginning to end. Longevity on me is around the 6 hour mark. I don’t mind touching up during the day, so this is fine for me. I have received multiple compliments on this one. Even one from a man that thanked me for smelling so good 😆

To me, this is a more fresh n Fruity version of Narciso ambre

The scent is nice, though I have an impression as if it was somehow unfinished or watered, diluted. I am a big fan of aquatics and salty fragrances, so had great expectations, but I am very dissappointed with the poor performance, both longevity and sillage. A bodymist is stronger. My second guess would be, that I have a fake product.

I love love love this perfume.

I was lucky to find it, as the whole Extase line is very difficult to come by in my country.

It's beautiful fragrance and on me it smells like jasmin tea with caramel, even though it's sweet, I consider it unisex. I already bought a backup, it's that good.

My partner doesn't like it, lol, but I don't mind.
I highly highly recommend it, if not for the delightful aquatic gourmand scent, then for the absolutely beautiful bottle. Get it!

I was so excited to try this perfume. I blind-bought it because of the positive reviews here. It is very strange. On my skin, I feel ginger and warm caramel undertones. However, on paper, this fragrance smells completely different - fresh and aquatic. Please, try it on your skin before buying. It's 50/50 for me. I think ginger ruins this fragrance (to my nose).

Absolutely love this perfume. Dry down is similar to Armani si Fiori

Fresh and summery with a hint of sweetness. An elegant fragrance, 100% unisex, although for me this is a def for the hot weather, wouldn't really wear it in winter

This is how I wanted Shay & Blue's Salt Caramel to smell. That one did not convey salted caramel to me at all :/ more burnt plastic. But this is quite pretty, (& the the packaging is so nice!) longevity is only about four hours but I don't care, I don't require everything in my wardrobe to be Olympic standard. The sea notes are just salty, there's nothing fresh ozonic or marine breezes here, not to me anyway, I think some people's imagination runs away with them.. it's just salty but it's v nice. This is my favourite of the line, much better than L'extase's plasticky pears.

Mmm, salted caramel and spicy raspberry-rose in a gorgeous bottle.
🧜
I really like this on me. It's suitable for year-round and projects just a bit. Still, I wouldn't say Chant d'Extase is a rare scent nor a must-have. Maybe I'm wrong, but I get a sense that it can be recreated with the right (affordable) body mists, for example.

Adding an additional review to help all of you devastated that this has been discontinued. <3 James Bond 007 for Women gives a very similar vibe, albeit the notes are not very similar. I am close to saying it is a dupe. Any of you have both and agree?? I have back-up bottles of both of these fragrances and am in love with both. So, if you missed your opportunity (almost said missed your "chance" :) to purchase this gorgeous fragrance, get James Bond 007 and you will have a very similar scent experience.

I have all the line Extase for two reasons: I respect the profumerie of Nina Ricci and the nose behind all line Francis Kurkdjian. The bottle and the packaging are amazing. The perfume is warm aquatic gourmand. Unmissable in a serious collection. Pleasant to wear, unique, hidden gem. Safe blind buy. 4/5

I've been trying to decide for months whether or not I like this fragrance. I find it very strange, but not blatantly so. If you don't overthink it, it smells good, a very pleasantly sweet scent with aquatic freshness that probably won't bother anyone. But if you really start analyzing it, things go a little haywire. I think it's the caramel and sea notes causing the weirdness. They're really walking that fine line of clashing and just barely working together. Normally I like unusual combinations, which is why I was interested in this, but I think I'm going to have to let it go. I keep thinking about a mermaid becoming obsessed with wearing some caramel centered fragrance from the human world, trying to cover up her natural magical mermaid essence. Not a terrible smell, just not working for me.

I am SO glad I didn't listen to a lot of others reviewing this perfume. This is absolutely amazing. Now I want to hurry up and buy a back-up bottle since it is discontinued. What I smell is a slightly sweet light floral and ever so slightly salty ocean air with a waft of caramel in the background. Envision this....you are wearing a light, slightly sweet floral scent, sitting on the sandy beach, feet in the warm sand, on a gorgeous sunny but a little brisk summer day and the scent of caramel popcorn making it's way over in the breeze from a vendor on the pier. I LOVE this. It definitely draws a complete picture to me. Just beautiful....it transports me to that scene / memory.

Update: 5/3/2022: I did buy a back-up bottle. I love to wear this on sunny yet cooler spring days. It is so beautiful!!!

Update #2 5/23/2022: Guess what?? I bought another back-up bottle! Yep, I love it that much. :)

Lovely perfume with a beautiful bottle!

This fragrance opens with an aquatic note. I can definitely smell some ginger and maybe raspberry (some type of sour fruit). After 30 ish minutes, I get lots of sweet deep caramel alongside the previous notes. It’s just beautiful!

Also, it’s nothing like olympea! With that one, I got loads of awful metallic ginger and watery sharp florals (jasmine?), I got no sweet vanilla at all! My sister even cringed back when she smelled that one on my arm.
I do understand why people think it’s similar to olympea though. They do share that aquatic watery floral + gourmand feel. It wears very differently on me though!!

This one is so different!! It’s sweet (in a fruity way) and also in a gourmand way (think fresh caramel sauce on a saucepan).

Longevity is not as good as the others in this line, it lasted 3-4 hours on me and for that price, I probably wouldn’t rebuy. But I think it’s still a very well made fragrance that is worth having in your collection. Quite different and unique from the others that I have!

Oh also it’s nothing like the others in this line, those are all mostly strong rose-centered fruity florals. This one has rose but it’s a quiet soft rose.

Edit: this one didn’t work for me y’all! I had to give it away bc I kept getting this screechy headache inducing note that was way too freaking sweet. The longevity was pretty bad and I felt reluctant spraying a lot since I spent 50 bucks on it. Not worth the price:(

This is a very pretty, subtle aquatic mix of beachy ozonic notes and driftwood. It is not overly sweet or girlish and I can imagine wearing this at the end of a blustery Summer's day. It's not at all screechy on me, it's fresh, very natural and suitably mature with the slightest hint of raspberry and ginger to soften it. It's not comparable to L'Extase in any shape or form and is a world away from L'Extase Rose Absolue in particular - a completely different scent for a completely different setting and occasion. Which makes it lovely in its own right.

Like another reviewer said, this is a warm aquatic perfume. However there's something rancid and screechy in this - like a melted, chemical-y plastic. This fragrance is supposed to be a "garden lush in vegetation," but to me it's more like wilted, browning lettuce in a plastic bag that's been left out in the sun. It's really a stretch to try to pick out any notes -- sea notes, for sure.... possibly ambergris... *maybe* some poorly-done raspberry and lemon... a bit of ginger. I have L'Extase, which turned out to be so wonderfully well done that I became mildly obsessed with the perfume for a few months, so I had hoped the same would be true of a contrasting fragrance in the L'Extase line. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. Chant d'Extase actually smells similar to Les Delices de Nina to me, which was another disappointment of mine from Nina Ricci's perfumes. They both share that chemical-plastic odor. I've tried this one 2 or 3 times because I just couldn't believe my nose - but sadly, this just smells awful to me. L'Extase continues to stand alone as one beautiful gem in the Nina Ricci perfume line.

I bought this for my girlfriend and wow! That opening is so beautiful and bright and delicious. It is fresh and very uplifting you just want to be in that scent bubble. To my nose I get something similar to wood Neroli in the opening. But this works in hot weather perfectly. I picture someone wearing this while on a desert safari or on the beach. Appropriate for middle aged more outdoor type of person

This was a blind buy for me and I very much enjoy it. However, I cannot help but feel that I have smelled this multiple times in my life. I cannot pinpoint what this exactly smells like but it is quite familiar. The only other fragrance that I think smells slightly similar (and I mean slightly) is Rihanna Nude. Please keep in mind that I have only owned this for about a month. Other than that, it is quite nice. The sea notes are not too much and the caramel is quite prominent on me.

I wish my nose didn't turn ambergris into the smell of a dead fish bc I just discovered this line by perfumer Kurkdijan and it's brilliant. Well blended, interesting notes and no longevity or sillage issues (for me anyway) and incredibly priced for the quality bc they are all being discontinued. Like the reviewer below said, I've bought back ups of my favorites. I have @BCBorn to thank for turning me on to them. I literally got my first shipment of the ones I bought, turned around and bought more.

Why, why, why? Why did I wait so long to buy this? Because of the mixed reviews here I wasn't sure to blind buy. And that was so wrong! :)
I love Chant, it instantly climbed up in my current top 5, and I can't stop wearing it. It's such an interesting scent, and it's hard to describe. It's very non-linear and morphs a lot during wear. It starts off very fruity, I immediately smell the raspberry. After a little while, I start smelling the sea notes (these aren't as strong as e.g. in Olympea). In the drydown, the caramel comes up, and I can still smell a bit of salt and raspberry. The jasmine is noticeable throughout the whole duration and it's beautiful. The composition is super interesting and unique. And even though it's very unique, I can hardly imagine anyone not liking it. Very blind buy worthy in my opinion. Francis is a genius.
I love it and I've done something I normally don't do - I bought myself a backup cause it's a limited edition and I'm terrified of the thought of running out of it.

This perfume reminds me a lot of one of the Jennifer Aniston perfumes. It has the same pencil-shavings kind of vibe with a bit of underlying sweetness. The pepper note (which is what gives the pencil-shavings impression) is too prominent on my skin and the sweetness is barely detectable. I do smell the sea notes but somehow it feels that the all the notes are separated - they don't blend together. It also doesn't last very long on my skin. All in all I don't love it - pity about the pretty bottle...

I blind bought this based on a number of positive reviews. The opening is really gorgeous and feminine, with a slight freshness from the ginger and lemon, but the pink pepper note and the dry down are an issue for me.

The dry down is very reminiscent of Tom Ford Soleil Orchid and there is something that bothers me in both fragrances’ dry downs. It’s almost like a sharpness poking through the smooth vanilla and caramel. While the dry down of this is slightly less ‘sharp’ that the Soleil Orchid, it’s still there.

I wish the opening notes lasted throughout the life of this fragrance. Also, performance and sillage are far poorer than expected.

Wow, instant love on a blind buy, I'm getting a fresh-but-comforting wave of salty notes mixed with light musk, swirls of lush caramel, and occasional notes of bright raspberry, tangy ginger and crisp lemon to accentuate. Picked this up after falling in love with Olympea Intense and looking for similar marine/salty type pretty scents for summer as I'm *SO* not a flowery-flowery girl and love me some spices and light gourmand yumminess in a fragrance instead; this is definitely similar to Olympea Intense but more playful and less....., well, "intense" :D .... can't comment on it's similarly or otherwise to OG Olympea as I have not tried that one!

If I feel like a salt-encrusted, sexy, powerful warrior woman wearing Olympea Intense then with Chant D'Extase, the vibes I'm getting are pretty and playful "girly" mermaid, splashing and giggling with her sisters in the shallows. Since there's mermaids on the packaging I reckon it fits well :)

What I'm not getting at all from Chant De L'Extase and I had been expecting, given the trademark elements of the Extase line, is rose: but I'm sure it's in there. I reckon this is a fabulous and fairly "safe" in all companies marine-fruity-floral for summertime daywear that would suit a variety of women and age ranges; it's definitely younger leaning than the majority of my personal "faves".

Beautiful bottle! would make a lovely gift. very likeable, scent however it isn't unique at all. It reminds me of many other perfumes. I imagine if PR Olympea and Black opium or La Vie est Belle had a baby, this is what it would smell like. I'm not hyped, having just decluttered LVB but i really like Olympea, so i'll keep and admire this beauty on my vanity for now. I would likely gift it to someone in the nearest future.

I found this perfume a few years ago, aimlessly roaming around in a Duty Free. I’ve always enjoyed smelling different fragrances but I didn’t think I was going to leave with a bottle that day! Until I found Chant d’Extase, that is.

I was instantly drawn to the bottle and art on the packaging, but it was the scent itself that really captivated me. It’s aquatic, but not fresh...instead, it reminds me of swimming in the depths. It starts off bright but then lures you in. It’s sweet, but not in a very cloying or candied way...instead, as someone else already mentioned, the caramel dances with the other notes so it’s undetectable on its own. When the musk comes out to play, it envelops you...that’s my favorite part! It’s like an aphrodisiac.

I wouldn’t classify this as a super “girly” scent despite having some sweetness to it, because there is a hint of masculinity in there too (as someone else previously mentioned). I can’t put my foot on why or how that vibe comes about, but it does, and it’s amazing. To me, this perfume is incredibly well-rounded because it’s a whole experience: from the sparkling opening to the mysterious, luscious drydown. Personified, Chant d’Extase is a siren in the water, beckoning you with her song. When she touches your skin, she takes you with her to a beautiful paradise.

On me, this fragrance REALLY blooms in the warmer months - it gets humid here in the summers and Cd’E stays with me for the majority of the day. Not only is the longevity great, but so is the sillage imo because all day long I feel like I’m in my own little bubble, catching whiffs constantly (which I personally love, especially since it’s hard to come by these days...isn’t it?). And I must add, this perfume is a serious confidence booster! Not only has this been the most complimented fragrance in my collection, but it also makes me feel like I can carpe that diem.

10/10 Summertime Elixir ;)

I love this perfume!!! Second day in a row and I can’t stop wearing it. The opening is sweet and spicy. What a combination! I don’t really smell the rose since the jasmine overpower it at least on my skin but I don't really mind. The magic it is on the dry down. It is just yummy. I don’t know why but the dry down reminds me of Pure XS by Pacco Rabanno. I think it might be the sea notes combine with caramel! Anyways this is such a beautiful scent.

Anyone have an unloved bottle of this? I have a bottle of Nina Ricci Rose Extase to swap for it, 95% full with box.
IM me if interested.

I like this-- but it is super unique. Caramel and aquatic notes are things I would have never though to combine, but it works somehow. It's not my favorite aquatic ever, but it's very nice, and it definitely is unique. The dry down is my favorite part. It smells like being on the beach, but without the coconut that most beach-y fragrances have. I think the ambergris gives the beachy vibe on the dry down. At first it's aquatic and fresh, but then your nose catches the sweet caramel note in the background.

I've only tested in cooler weather, and I think this would do better in warmer weather, but given that I enjoy it in cool weather, it will probably only improve. I wouldn't say it's a top favorite scent of mine, but it's definitely good enough to keep the bottle I blind bought.

And the bottle and packaging are absolutely GORGEOUS. This would make a lovely gift, and I think the scent is not overly strong or offensive, so it's reasonably safe to gift in that respect, too. The art on the box is beautiful, and the bottle has the prettiest color. The cap is metal and heavy with a nice weight in your hand-- it's a minor thing, but this feels like a luxury product. The noses behind the extase range are all well-known designers of high end fragrances. Given how cheaply you can get these online, the whole range is an absolute steal!! I have everything from the extase range, and they're all very different, and I honestly like them all.

Both - Nina (the apple) and Chant have the same obnoxious aquatic note of a bathroom freshener + bathroom, which can’t be unsmelt once you discover it. I have 3 of the other extase flankers and although I love the pink bottle - this blue gem is something else - the most gorgeous color to take on an exotic trip with you (and mind it, I rarely, if ever, care for bottles!). I’m so hoping to like the perfume in it one day, so that I justify owning that bottle - it’s that beautiful! I wish it were refillable so that I can have whatever else I want in it :)

As contradictory as it may sound, this is a warm aquatic fragrance. It opens with both the sweetness of its fruity notes and the spice of ginger and pink pepper. The middle notes are where this fragrance really shines, where a bouquet of florals meet soothing oceanic notes. It dries down with a combo of musky caramel and vanilla, evoking images of bonfires on the beach.

I love that they achieved an aquatic fragrance without including coconut (my arch nemesis), trying to imitate the scent of sea salt, or making it smell like sunscreen. The ambergris lends it a masculine cologne-like essence, but the florals and gourmands soften and brighten it up. It’s versatile enough for day or nighttime wear. If you like yacht parties and cabana-side cocktails, this is for you. My only complaint is that the scent does not last as long as the original L’exstase. Otherwise, a pleasant wear.

I really do feel like a mermaid wearing this. Salted caramel, soft fruits and gentle flowers. Love it!

I like this fragrance, it's really nice and easy to wear but I wouldn't classify it as an aquatic/ marine scent.

The opening is sweet and fruity (I don't necessarily get the raspberry) but it dries down really fast and it becomes, like others have mentioned, kind of salty and really musky.

The bottle is beautiful and so is the box it comes in, but don't let the packaging trick you because this isn't a light, juicy, fresh, vibrant, blue/ aquatic fragrance.

Don't get me wrong, this is pleasent, it's not what you would expect from the notes, the color of the bottle and the box but more of a dry, salty, musky driftwood type of fragrance.

First 10 minutes is tutti-frutti bubble gum, then the raspberry fades and starts salty-musky ambergris and very similar smell to CK Reveal.
Very weak and soft, close to the skin and after about 2-3 hours is gone.
I hoped to be salty caramel, but not exactly...

I'll start off by saying that the bottle and the packaging is truly beautiful. I think anyone would be thrilled to have this as a present. The bottle is even more gorgeous in person, like something a mermaid would harbour in her collection.

The scent is... Alright. Likeable, fresh, pretty. It just didn't wow me in the way I was hoping for. I smell watery notes, salted caramel and a lemon and raspberry cloud which warms up until all I can smell is a lightly musky base with just a hint of rose.

Every note tells me I should love this more than I do, and I want to, just because the bottle is so beautiful, but I just didn't fall in love with her. I don't know anyone who would dislike this perfume, so I think Chant D'Extase would make a lovely present.

Do I like this perfume? Yes. Do I like her enough to add to my ever growing collection? Probably not. I think I'll gift this to someone else, they might appreciate it more than me.

Edit: I had the urge to try this again in cooler weather, and it's really growing on me. I can smell the delicious fruits mingle together and I can't stop sniffing my wrists.

I blind bought it because of the notes, the nose and the beautiful bottle :) Although the box makes you think of something tropical and exotic, this is a good pick even for office, it is slightly sweet, slightly fruity, beautifully rounded, not sticky, not in-your face, stays close to your skin, but it makes me feel nice.
Sillage and longevity could be better.
I mostly get caramel and raspberry, and in the end a nice, somewhat salty musk. Safe choice, I don't think there is a person who could hate this scent.

I think people like JUICY COUTURE or Victoria's Secret perfume,like this.

not your typical gourmand caramel fragrance!

for me it's a sweet fruity scent with a hint of caramel underneath; the 2 things I really appreciate here:
1) is the point of sweetness! it has the right amount of sweetness, not sickly-sweet, and neither barely sweet!
2)its versatility, I can wear it to the office, I can wear it in the weekend, holidays,,,,etc. I can't see myself unable to choose this fragrance for any reason, it isn't offensive at all, and wouldn't annoy anybody around you.
The only issue for me is the longevity, I wish it stays longer on my skin, and the sillage is low as well!
7/10

I do like this, but not a love.
I really don't detect the caramel, raspberry or ginger in it.
Reminds me a lot of the Roberto Cavalli Acqua fragrance that comes in a similar shade bottle, only minus the slight soapiness, which is kind of a shame because as much as I liked that one, I tired of it quickly.
Not your typical summer aquatic - kinda soft and creamy.

A sophisticated sea salted caramel, in the most beautiful aqua blue marine bottle it’s gorgeous!

I am really liking that one ! I don't detect a beach tropical wave in it, like it is fresh, like a warm breeze, and it definitely has a sweet undertone...but sweet the way french perfumers do it, not candy, not lollipop, just fresh sweet..the caramel isn't synthetic, or too much..it is blending in nicely with the rose and jasmine.. .the base is a rich mix of sweet with a delicate ambergris..well put together ..it is feminine, deliciously pretty...now longevity isn't best, but there is something really nice and uplifting about Extase..i own Balenciaga Essence but those two aren't exactly similar...The Balenciaga has a true marine vibe, is more unisex almost.. Extase is more a gourmand scent, , although the base is a great mix of a salty musk with ambergris, both very nice ..very nicely constructed....Kurkdjian did good on that beautiful creation. I like his perfumes !

When I smelled this one at the department store the first time I immediately thought of a summer vacation - reminds me of sunblock a bit even. The smell immediately made me think of very hot weather, cocktails by the beach and tan skin; the fragrance has this tropicalness without tropical notes - does that make sense? And I'm very surprised that no one has mentioned the sunblock or tanning lotion comparison - am I the only one who immediately thought of that when getting a whiff of the bottle?
Anyway, surprisingly I loved it and plan on getting it for the summer, it's not too long lasting, the sillage for me was not the greatest either (but my skin tends to eat up fragrances in general though...)
It is very sweet, yummy, perfect for summer and fun times, plus the bottle is gorgeous! So as a gourmand and sweet fragrance lover, I really enjoy this one.

Reminds me of many other perfumes, but is not bad!! :)

This is one of the best bottles and boxes I have seen lately.
Just the right kind of bottle for me.
Unfortunately the scent isn't quite the best.
Top notes smell like a laundry washing gel and the base notes aren't that nice at all. I sense faint caramel scent and some floral notes, also vanilla.
Not a scent to remember.
But that pretty blue bottle and tropical looking box with the mermaid though...

This reminds me of a fainter version of Bonbon. It turns too quickly into a skin scent after spraying.
Longevity is really poor... disappointed as I was expecting more. It’s a pass for me.

I have to admit that this is a well blended caramel (not like prada candy) scent.

Its as if the 2 sweet notes, raspberry and Caramel, and the 2 other flowery notes, jasmine and the rose, are playing a double match of Tennis.

Easily a signature scent and skin chemistry plays a huge role imo.

To give this perfume a chance, I´d suggest to try this one and ONLY that one and leave the perfumery immediately as its not ´that´ powerful. :)

Please do Not tell me it smells like light blue by D&G I hope not. It's meant to have a caramel base? C'mon.....the bottle design is so beautiful, isn't it guys? Stunning.
Edited to add: when I first came on this page 20.3.2018 I noticed someone had likened this to Dolce and Gabbana's light blue intense. Hence my initial disappointment, I see now that the comparison has been removed! So we shall see. This will be an eventual blind but as L'extase is not stocked in. U.K perfume stores according to Harrods fragrance counter.

It is very musky on me, very pleasent, i have thought, that it contains musk, or something wood element.
Surprisingly doesn't.
Now i see, that it has been completed the ingredients list, so this frag contains musk.

Not a review, but is the creator supposed to be Francis Kurkdjian, is "Kurdjian" a misspelling? The database now lists a "Francis Kurdjian" with two creations, and if this is a misspelling of Kurkdjian, these might be missed when someone wishes to search Mr. Kurkdjian's creations. :)
