Nina Ricci Rose Extase is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Francis Kurkdjian and Maïa Lernout. Rose Extase opens with Red Fruits, settles into a heart of Rose and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Amberwood. Nina Ricci's Rose Extase carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This jammy rose and raspberry concoction by Francis Kurkdjian is highly divisive. While many adore its sweet, creamy, and feminine charm, others find it too cloying, powdery, or even 'old-fashioned', lacking the longevity some expect from an EDT. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

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.

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

  • 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

Rose Extase opens with a burst of sweet red berries and tart raspberry, immediately setting a playful, fruity tone. As it settles, a sweet, jammy rose heart emerges, complemented by a soft vanilla warmth. The dry down introduces a delicate muskiness and woody amber, lending a sophisticated creaminess and a hint of powder that stops it feeling too juvenile. It's a luscious blend of fruit, flower, and comforting sweetness.
