The story behind the bottle.
L'Extase Rose Absolue by Nina Ricci was launched in 2017, crafted by the renowned perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. This Oriental Floral fragrance is a proof of the brand's commitment to elegance and sophistication. The composition centers around Taif rose, a rare and precious note that forms the heart of the scent, balanced with warm spices like pink pepper and black pepper, creating an intense yet delicate tension. Atlas cedar and patchouli add depth and earthiness, while vanilla and benzoin provide a sweet, powdery contrast. The result is a fragrance that feels both lasting and modern, perfect for those who appreciate complexity and nuance.
Apply L'Extase Rose Absolue to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The fragrance blooms best on skin rather than in the air, so avoid over-spraying. It pairs beautifully with light musks or powdery scents to enhance its depth.
