Nina Ricci L'Extase Caresse de Roses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Francis Kurkdjian. L'Extase Caresse de Roses opens with Bergamot and Pear, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily of the Valley, Peony, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Violet. Nina Ricci's L'Extase Caresse de Roses carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This flanker is a beautiful, effervescent rose with a fruity twist, perfect for those who found the original L'Extase too heavy. Just don't expect it to last 'til next Tuesday, as performance is its Achilles' heel.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its fresh, clean floral and fruity character makes it versatile for casual and office wear, though its limited projection might require more sprays. Given its lighter nature and poor longevity mentioned by many, it's less suited for formal events or sports where strong performance is key.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

L'Extase Caresse de Roses opens with a sparkling, sweet burst of pear and bergamot, leading into a lush bouquet of dewy rose, bright peony, and delicate lily of the valley, all kissed with juicy raspberry. It settles into a soft, clean base of powdery violet and white musk, with a whisper of earthy patchouli.
