L'Extase Rose Absolue

by Francis Kurkdjian

Nina Ricci L'Extase Rose Absolue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Francis Kurkdjian. The fragrance opens with Pink Pepper and Pepper, settles into a heart of Taif Rose and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Patchouli, Musk, and Benzoin.

Our verdict on L'Extase Rose Absolue: Acquired

A Francis Kurkdjian-crafted jammy rose with a dark, sensual twist. It's divisive - some find it to be a more feminine, wearable take on MFK's Oud Satin Mood, while others find the pepper and oud-like facets off-putting. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for deep, syrupy roses.

About

L'Extase Rose Absolue opens with a sharp, spicy kick of pink and black pepper before quickly transitioning to a rich, jammy Taif rose heart. A luxurious vanilla-benzoin sweetness emerges, lending a Turkish delight gourmandise, all grounded by earthy patchouli and a whisper of woody cedar. It's a deep, dark rose, often mistaken for containing oud.
