Description
Nina Ricci launched their new perfume L’Extase in 2015, as the third perfume “pillar” of the house, with the first two pillars being L’Air du Temps and Nina. L’Extase was inspired by a woman’s erotica, inviting you to “liberate your fantasies.” The new version of this release is coming in 2016 as an Eau de Parfum Legere called L’Extase Caresse de Roses.
Created as a lighter interpretation of the original by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, L’Extase Caresse de Roses offers a soft and sensual fragrance inspired by the idea of the naked body, only covered in a fragrant veil. The composition is a floral bouquet of Bulgarian and Turkish roses, violet and peony, enriched with a touch of musk.
The face of the perfume is Laetitia Casta. It will be available from March 2016 as a 30, 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum Legere.

Almost like Rose Extase, only with noticeable pear. Not my type.

In 2016, following a worldwide trend, the brand decided to launch a lighter version of more diurnal appeal. However, instead of launching a perfume named L’Extase Eau de Toilette, decided to invest in a fragrance with a higher concentration of essential oils and floral composition. L’Extase Caresse de Roses was born in Eau de Parfum Légère concentration.
Again, Francis Kurkdjian was the perfumer responsible for the task of giving life to a fragrance that continues telling the story of the woman who reaches the climax and exhales desire, even during the day. The official composition brings Bulgarian rose essence, at the top, making way for a floral heart of rose’s absolute from Turkey, violets and peonies, on a base of white musk.
On the skin, L’Extase Caresse de Roses is sensuality in a bottle. It is a floral bouquet of roses that walks through the various tones of the flower, such as the innocent side, the opulent and the metallic. The peonies help to propagate such an impression, but the violet gives it a dry softness, which becomes sweet for a few moments. And the white musk, used in great quantity, ends up conferring that milky and sensual floral aspect, which serves more as a backdrop and helps in longevity than anything else.
Oddly enough, even with totally different compositions, the comparisons are true: L’Extase Caresse de Roses has an olfactory path very similar to the J’adore EDP fragrance. However, it is worth remembering that the similarity is great during some stages of evolution, but they are not identical. This one from Nina Ricci has a lot more roses content and evolves a bit more than the other, from Dior. I think the two are quite versatile, but this one is more discreet (less projection) and this is a point to be taken by women who care about the use of perfumes indoors, as in the professional environment.
The bottle of this version has gained lighter paint, resulting in a kind of translucent nude, in addition to bringing a pendant inspired by the bracelet “Calisto”, which was designed by Guillaume Henry for his first ready-to-wear collection.

Cheaper version of J’adore from Dior, the original one. It’s nice and feminine. It develops wonderfully from bulgarian rose smell to creamy, rich, close to skin charming scent.
Recommend it. It’s half the price of j’adore and just as good.

I tried this in a shop. I own l’extase but they are wo different perfumes. The original is more musky and powdery meanwhile this one is very very soft floral. Nothing common at all. Definately suits for spring time. It is very youthful however it has poor sillage and longevity. So i will pass.

Just bought it and it’s wonderful!! It’s attractive, but not in a mysterious way like L’extase, but in a dreamy, sweet way. The rose fragrance is strong, but not plain. For me, it’s a very seductive perfume, it’s very fit for a young female who is strong but also wants to show her playful side, in a alluring way rather that immature. It’s ideal for warm days of autumn or even spring. I’m so proud I got it. The bottle is such a playful thing because of those chains that L’extase doesn’t have, so I ressemble myself like a cat playing with her toy..guilty pleasures :”>

I love this perfume and it has joined the ranks of my all time favourite fragrances.
I do hope that Nina Ricci continues to offer it for a long time.
It was a chance find when I was looking for another perfume. A friend who collects perfume bottles is counting down the days for when I finish my first bottle as she also loves the bottle.
Me? I adore the romantic fragrance which reminds me of a romantic happy sunny day in France when walking through a rose garden with my beloved late husband.
This perfume is magic and warm and gorgeous

Strangely enough, to me Caresse has nothing to do with the original Extase. Nothing. Apart the bottle’s shape. I was very excited to try this one out. When the time had come,… boo. Nothing. And I tried it again. Still nothing.
It’s all about roses and reminds me of YSL’s Paris. Pleasant, nice but nothing exceptional.
And I went for it a third time again. Couldn’t accept that I love L’Extase and cannot catch this one.
And then it bloomed into my face. It’s like a velvet, cashmere silk on the skin. You cannot grap or catch it. It’s lingering around you. It’s sensual, beautiful, georgous. Like Laetitia Casta modelling for L’Extase (sounds cheesy perhaps, but this is what came to my mind instantaneously).
Soft rose with a powdery touch done by the musk. I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist.
I am in love.

This can be the spring version of original L’extase.I can definitely see similarities between them,rosey and sweet raspberry gene is in both,but original L’extase is much more sweeter and warmer.it has a gourmand delight quality which is absent in L’extase caresse or if there,it’s very faint,still new version is sweet but not in a gourmand praline way.it’s fruity sweet and I can pick up sweet raspberrychouli blending with musky florals,lots of rose and peony and a sheer powdery veil of violets
Nina ricci L’extase caresse is a very pretty sister of original extase.it’s rosey,delicately sweet,sparkling,feminine and has a touch of freshness and powdery quality beneath it’s sweetness.
I see it a spring scent but it’s easily wearable all seasons expect cold winters.it’s a day perfume while original is better for nights.longevity and sillage are both less than original but still good and it’s bottle is breathtakingly pretty
Highly recommend to rose lovers,or to whoever is looking for a L’extase for hot months
❤❤❤❤

Not sexy at all.

The scent is not as good as the original. It is lighter, possibly less rosy (despite the name) and has a floral fruity touch – peony I’m guessing. It doesn’t last as long either.

I prefer the original. This reminds me for some reason of J’Adore, which I really like. It’s very fresh, sparkling and it screams spring. However the gourmand rose in l”Extase appeals to me much more.
bng1957 – :
I can’t appreciate it. To me it just screams: peony, peony, peony! I don’t like that super strong peony note in it.
There’s some rose as well, but it’s mild compared to peony.
Matter of taste, but a definite NO for me.
Way too floral for my taste.

I really hope this version will still have that beautiful Turkish Delight scent that I am madly in love with in the original L’Extase.
Will still buy it purely for the beautiful bottle either way.

Well, I have the original one and yesterday I saw this one in the shop so I have tried, but for me is almost exactly the same as the original L’extase. The only difference is maybe that this one is not as sweet but for me too similar to buy it and behind the rose there is something…what smells bad for me. Maybe turkish rose I don’t know..

Thank you ScarlRed!!! 🙂

Mmclean, I have tried L’Extase Caresse de Roses already (Sephora, Czech Republic). I would describe it – it’s like the first L’Extase but without that depth and dark side. I find it sweet (but not too sweet), it’s nice rose with peony with hint of musk. It would be nice spring scent, bottle is also very pretty. Longevity and sillage are very good. If you like the first L’Extase, you will like this one too! 🙂

I am dying to smell this! Can’t seem to find it in Canada yet…anyone had any luck? (It’s almost April and I thought it was to be released in March?)
Thx!

I am super excited about this, being a big L’ Extase fan. Although here in Greece it’s gonna take a while before it’s available in the department stores.
And the bottle, wow! It’s even better than the original, as if that was even possible!

Looking forward to sample this.
