Chant d’Extase by Nina Ricci

Pure softness in the middle of chaos. A hug that calms. Smells like fruit juice, caramel, and vanilla… perfect for hot days when you just want comfort. It reflects my need for simple sweetness, no complications. I love it.

This is the fragrance I’d wear every day. Super comfortable, fresh, sweet in just the right amount with citrus, marine, caramelized accords, and the magic of ginger (not too potent). You can detect pink pepper at the start. Moderate longevity and sillage. It’s exquisite, smells great, and doesn’t overwhelm even in the heat. I recently ordered another bottle because I’m already halfway through the first one. It’s an underrated gem compared to its ‘sisters’. My favorite along with Caresse de Roses 🌹. The others are great too, just like their creator, master Francis Kurkdjian.

The best of all the Extase, by far… and the most underrated. It’s wonderful, fresh, feminine, and refreshing; it lifts your mood. In Chile, it’s hard to find, while the others are everywhere. A fragrance marvel.

Without a doubt, the one furthest from the Extase family and the least appreciated overall, but I absolutely love it. It seems like a very beautiful and different creation, one that could even pass for niche. It has noticeable sillage and moderate longevity. Its ideal season is summer; its gorgeous turquoise and blue bottle perfectly represents its juice. The opening is very fresh, fruity, and sparkling. As it dries down, a dual scent emerges: marine (aquatic and salty) and slightly musky sweet caramel.

What a delight! I tried it years ago at a department store and fell in love. Finally, I got to own it, and it’s exactly as I remember: sweet, fresh, and elegant all at once. I’m happy to have it in my collection. I also own the L’extase; I liked it, but there the rose stands out too much. In this one, not so much; it’s more fruity. I prefer this one; the magnolia is delicious combined with everything, projects well, and lasts. Very pleasant and highly praised by those around me.

One of my grandmother’s favorites! ❤️ You can’t imagine how hard it was to find; it’s a limited edition and rare in Chile. I have so much affection for it because smelling it reminds me of my grandmother, Marina. It’s sweet with a powerful trail and great longevity; the caramel, raspberry, and marine notes take center stage. They achieved something special and instantly recognizable. It’s versatile, but it truly shines in spring and autumn. ❤️ I wish it were permanent; it’s gorgeous. It has a vague resemblance to Yes I Am in that warm, sweet concept, but they’re different; I think this one is better executed, with more ‘real’ notes. In Chant d’Extase, the caramel is so real you almost taste it.

It’s a very pleasant fragrance that has nothing to do with traditional L’extase. Sweet, but not cloying. It has a fresh touch that allows you to wear it on hot days. The notes are well blended; I can’t identify any particular note. I like it. It’s not meant to stand out, but it’s cheerful and not formal. Edit: The sillage is huge! Today at my office, every time someone entered, they asked who was wearing that delicious perfume.
