Description
L’Extase Rose Absolue comes out at the beginning of 2017 as a new Nina Ricci fragrance from the L’Extase line. After the original L’Extase from 2015 and Eau de Parfum Legere version L’Extase Caresse de Roses from 2016, perfumer Francis Kurkdjian created a sensual night-time edition of this fragrance.
The composition of L’Extase Rose Absolue focuses on a luxurious and “burnt” Taif rose accord, spiced at the top with black and pink pepper, before being wrapped in a creamy woody nuance of Atlas cedar. Oriental musks mixed with vanilla, benzoin and patchouli are at the base of the perfume.
Model Laetitia Casta is the face of the campaign. Darker than the previous ones, the bottle is decorated with golden details and a silky black ribbon. The fragrance is available as a 80 ml Eau de Parfum.

Ok
For me this started a bit like the originl Nina Ricci L’Extase ..
Deeper
Darker
Less sweet
More intense
Needs mature nose unlike the original more of girly teenage girl kind of fragrance ..
Of course
Last longer
The sillage not bad even its more rhan good but not whats expected from Absolue version
It was exoected to be bomb however its still good so dont get wrong
Just based on the notes and name I put my expectations high in the sky …
After all
It can be rated as 7/10
Good addition to.my collecrion
But not mind blowing addtion
The test is recommended be4 buying

Is it just me who smells cotton candy here?!
The very first second I smelled it, I said: wow!! cotton candy!!
well, I don’t find anything dark here, I see a teenager wearing this perfume, & I will think: yes it suits her!

this perfume is so rose potent that I realised if you want to make an intensive or absolue or extrait rose perfume you must have an intensive rose which is happened to be the “Taif Rose” it is a different hybrid species of roses, derived from the (Damask Rose family). they are a bit similar to each other but Taif Rose is harsher,darker and more potent.
ps: Taif rose extract or attar is so expensive that a 50 ml oil perfume costs 1000 to 1500 us dollars

Starts off with the sweet and tender taif rose, in the opening it reminds me a little of Si EDT but then it changes.
It starts smelling a little fizzy as musk and pepper combine.
This is not a heavy oriental, but a sweet musky rose.
I think this is the most romantic fragrance i have ever smelt.

Where is this perfume? No trace of it on the market, but Nina launches a new EDT instead, Extase de Rose.
Uhmmm, I don’t like this way to relate with consumers…

I emailed Nina Ricci and they have not got a release date for this yet. I am unsure what people are testing or how they know it ‘reminds them of’ Roses Musk or L’extase.

I will edit this to a detailed review as soon as I try it on my skin.what I write now is based on a paper blotter test without being able to give it Tims more than half an hour
I love Original l’extase.I also like it’s lighter flanker though I don’t have it yet,so I had to try l’extase rose absolue the first day it hit the shelves(early in this week)
When SA first sprayed it my friend said immediately:oh,this is very heavy!I was thinking that it’s completely a winter,night perfume so testing it in such a hot spring noon didn’t look like a good idea.my experience with Elie Saab nuit noor made me worried about new flankers of my beloved perfumes colored in black,I thought l’extase rose absolue is going to be something similar to Elie Saab nuit noir:a heavy,almost Arabic Oriental,very high quality,unique and strong but not my type at all.it was all true about Nina ricci’s new member too except the last part:I like this one!
Warm,dark,mysterious,memorable and seductive was what came to my mind while smelling rose absolue.a hybrid of east’s rosey orientals and west’s gourmands,of course it inherits more from it’s eastern parent but there’s enough sweetness to make it appealing to modern generation too.however it’s not as sweet as original l’extase.
it’s a very well blended combo of peppery rose,patchouli,dark woody notes,musk and something fruity rounded by benzoin and vanilla.musk and vanilla were not as strong as what I thought.it has a balmy,powdery texture which I like.a grown up and serious.it seems to be a sillage monster,just one spray filled the store.I’d like to have it for this fall and winter
Edit:
Tried it today again
I can see l’extase gene in it but it also reminds me armani si intense,as if there’s a dark,syrupy, fruity thing in it,like black current

I loved L’Extase, but I hope to find this somehow, as I have failed to find the previous flanker L’Extase Caresse de Roses anyway, except for a few bottles on eBay.
Oxiguilia – :
Lulu The rose is the pink flower you see among the middle notes, the Taif Rose, much different from the classic one. I like this one better.
gizborn – :
COULD THIS SIGNAL A RETURN TO popularising florientals a la day of yore? I very much hope so…. I’m looking for ab easily accessible heady floriental with having to scour eBay for vintage perfumes or numerous layering….
Has it been released yet, anyone in UK know?
