Which Should You Buy?
This one is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many finding the opening sharp or 'old lady-ish', but for those who stick with it, L'Extase evolves into a sophisticated, sexy, jammy rose that's perfect for making a statement.
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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and enduring longevity, combined with its sweet and heavy nature, make it less suitable for the office. However, these same characteristics elevate it for dates and formal events, particularly in colder weather, where its warmth and depth can truly shine.
Seasons
The sweet caramel-vanilla and berry-floral warmth feel cosy in autumn and winter, a touch heavy for peak summer heat.
