The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

L’Extase by Nina Ricci, launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, weaves a sweet and fruity blend that is both comforting and alluring. The fragrance opens with the bright freshness of pink pepper and pear, quickly giving way to a heart of rose and jasmine that adds depth and warmth. As it settles into its base notes of caramel, amber, vanilla, and musk, L’Extase transforms into a lush, enveloping scent that feels like a warm hug.

How to wear it

Start with one spray to let the fragrance develop naturally. The caramel and vanilla notes are best experienced close to the skin, so apply directly on pulse points for maximum impact.
