The hum of an urban evening, where the sweet aroma of caramel and vanilla mingles with the fresh sea breeze and the subtle floral notes of a city garden.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Chant d'Extase by Nina Ricci, launched in 2018 and crafted by Francis Kurkdjian, is a fragrance that captures the essence of modern femininity with its sweet and marine accords. The composition opens with a burst of raspberry, ginger, and lemon, creating a vibrant and lively top note. This freshness gradually gives way to a heart of jasmine, rose, and magnolia, adding depth and complexity. As it settles into a base of caramel, vanilla, musk, and ambergris, the scent transforms into a warm and enveloping embrace that feels both intimate and alluring.

How to wear it

One to two sprays are sufficient as the top notes dissipate within an hour, allowing the warm base notes to come through. This fragrance is best enjoyed in cooler weather when its sweet and marine accords can shine without overpowering the air.
