Description
The fragrance of the new era of the high fashion house Balmain, led by the creative director Olivier Rousteing, Extatic was launched in 2014. Extatic Eau de Toilette version was presented in the same year, followed by the heady edition Extatic Intense Gold. In 2016, the collection is joined by Extatic Gold Musk fragrance.
Extatic Gold Musk is announced as a tempting, daring and luxurious interpretation of the original, with elegant floral – woody – musky character. The top notes include a fresh and clean combination of bergamot essences and aldehydes. Exotic tiare flower in the heart is mixed with spicy and sensual cashmere and akigala wood. The base ends with creamy and warm sandalwood, resins and animalic musk. It is signed by Sonia Constant.
The fragrance comes in the white lacquer bottle of the original design, decorated with golden cap and logos. The bottle evokes the white silk dress from Balmain collection. It is available as a 60 and 90 ml Eau de Toilette.

Very nice creamy musk scent. The dry down is amazing but lingers close to the skin, weak projection. A fresh clean musk I imagine it on someone wearing a jeans and white tee. Nothing fancy here. Subtle sexy and clean. Good for summer days or warmer Autumn days.

Extatic Gold Musk permeates your nostrils with creamy seductive sweetness as soon as you approach just the cap of the white&gold bottle to your nose. At once you can detect a beautiful accord of precious woods, white flowers and musk!
First spritz of perfume opens with a frizzy, tingling and sweet taste of mouth-watering lemonade. After 10-20 minutes frizziness calms a little and is accompanied with aldehydes turning the fragrance more defined and serious. After next 3-6 hours frizziness fades completely slowly starting to envelope you with a cloud of sweet musky, woody notes settling more and more closer to your skin. Very good longevity for an etd!
Scent of happiness!

Oh my this is beautiful.
Similar musk to narciso white and a little sweeter. Also reminds me of J’adore.
There is a bit of a tropical vibe to this too.
Such a nice creamy musk

I just bought 60 ml bottle, this seemed to be a nice change from my florals. It also seemed to be good quality and we’ll blended. As the others wrote it is a musky scent but is very wearable and inoffensive. I’m not a fan of today’s fragrances, still, this is a good example that sometimes you may find gems among them.
The price for 60 ml was also good.
Edit: I’ve worn this for some time and I’m really pleased with it, I wear it very often. The opening is a little chemical but it fades away in half an hour and turns into a skin scent.

You have to like musky fragrances, this is quite musky, which is fine by me, soft, cozy, Refined, with some flowers in the heart..easy to wear, I see myself liking it more in cooler weather..it isn’t strong, it is actually a skin scent, I enjoy its simplicity, it’s softness, but if you are expecting a heady floral, this isn’t it..as for me, who likes soft musky scents, I will enjoy it. I wish the tiare had been stronger too…it is all in subtle notes really.
I like it the best of all the Extatic!!

I feel like this is too musky for my nose.
Tiare flower is one note, I can smell too. It’s a little bit sweet, but in a weird way. Musky and woody are the best words for describing it.
It must seem, I’m whiny about so many new fragrances and this is another one I don’t like very much.
The other versions of Extatic were better.

It’s like a soft cashmere scarf – very comforting and musky. I find it perfectly safe for office. It’s not loud and sweet as the original Extatic. There is something intimate in this flanker. I can’t sense the aldehydes, which usually are like a punch in my nose. The musk and tiare combo is simply beautiful. Try this one, if you love light musks and woodsy notes.

Nice scent . Surely elegant , well- balanced . A little reminds to me Miu Miu and Max Mara scents.
Nice , sunny , feminine musk.

Very elegant soft scent, I would say that it’s perfect for spring and summer. Staying power is pretty good, close to skin. It’s musky, a little bit woody and bright, very unique scent
EDIT: Extatic Gold Musk is quality fragrance, I can imagine wearing it with classy dress. I am so happy with it, definitely my new favourite scent
