Nina Ricci Chant d'Extase is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Chant d'Extase opens with Lemon, Pink Pepper, Ginger, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Rose, Jasmine, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Ambergris, and Caramel. Nina Ricci's Chant d'Extase carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This marine gourmand is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique salty caramel with a hint of fruit and florals, or you'll be left underwhelmed by its subtlety and the fleeting nature of its more interesting aquatic notes.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its subtle sillage and light, clean profile make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The unique marine gourmand character and perceived lack of longevity push it more towards casual or intimate settings rather than formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Chant d'Extase opens with a bright, zingy burst of raspberry and lemon, tempered by a touch of ginger's spice. Soon, a unique marine accord surfaces, intertwining with soft rose and magnolia, before settling into a creamy base of salted caramel and vanilla, underscored by a whisper of ambergris and musk. It's a sweet, aquatic journey, delicate and intriguing.
