Which Should You Buy?
This one is a proper 'love it or hate it' scent, no two ways about it. Expect compliments from its admirers and raised eyebrows from those who find its rose and patchouli combo a bit much. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Ecstasy chases Nina Ricci L'Extase's sweet musky floriental and lands the juicy berry-and-rose heart over a caramel-vanilla base well. It reads flatter and the projection runs even quieter than the already skin-close original, but the cosy, fruity-sweet femininity is convincingly there for a budget bottle.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and intense, complex profile make it less suitable for a quiet office, but perfect for evenings and dates where you want to make a statement. While some find it too heavy for casual wear, others appreciate its warmth, especially in cooler weather.
Seasons
The sweet caramel-vanilla and berry-floral warmth feel cosy in autumn and winter, a touch heavy for peak summer heat.
