Onde Extase

Giorgio Armani Onde Extase is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Bruno Jovanovic. Onde Extase opens with Bergamot and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Mimosa, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Sesame, Cedar, and Oakmoss. Giorgio Armani's Onde Extase carries an Acquired verdict, a yellow floral-led wear.

Onde Extase is a divisive one. Some find it a 'masterful', 'intoxicating' hidden gem; others claim it's 'boring and generic'. That unique sesame note, however, is generally praised, adding a quirky, alluring warmth to an otherwise traditional floral.

About

Imagine stepping into a sun-drenched, opulent floral garden where mimosa and narcissus bloom in golden profusion. White jasmine weaves through, softened by a powdery, almost creamy undertone from sesame, adding an unexpected, savoury warmth. Woody notes of cedar and oakmoss provide depth and structure, preventing the florals from becoming too sweet, while a hint of pink pepper adds a gentle, sparkling lift.
