Rose Extase by Nina Ricci, launched in 2017 and crafted by Francis Kurkdjian and Maïa Lernout, is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that balances vibrant fruity top notes with an enveloping heart of rose. The red berries and raspberry add a juicy freshness to the opening, which then gives way to a rich bouquet of roses. The base notes of vanilla, musk, and amberwood provide a warm and powdery finish that feels both intimate and comforting.

How It Wears
Application Tips
Start with one spray to let the fresh top notes breathe. The heart of rose will unfold over time, so this fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than diffused widely. It pairs well with light layers in transitional weather.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
