I just had a dream of finding the perfect dark, jammy rose, like the one of an unknown cheap brand, I bought for myself when I was 19, 20 something. As this dries down, the vanilla becomes more prounced on my skin and it sweetens up, but it never loses its dark, sumptuous quality. speechless, such an elegant and expensive scent, I had l’extase but after i tried it I gave it away, the rose from l’extase absolue is better, luxurious, darker, sultry.

Nina Ricci L'exstase Rose Absolue is definitely close to Oud Satin Mood but they r not exactly similar, theres many differences that u can feel after a few tests. I dont really get any of the pepper notes but I'm certainly not vexed by that and the patchouli is just the right amount to hold this mystical spell of rose. OSM smell like rich people with rich notes in it, rich with rose, rich with vanilla, and the oud make perfect combination. Added note on longevity: I can still smell wafts of this perfume late in the evening when it was hours after my last spray in the afternoon. this perfume is so rose potent that I realised if you want to make an intensive or absolue or extrait rose perfume you must have an intensive rose which is happened to be the "Taif Rose" it is a different hybrid species of roses, derived from the (Damask Rose family).I will say that to me it smells better when you catch wafts of it as you move rather than smelling it directly from your skin. I will say this reminds me of my bottle of Love Chopard but for me L'Extase Absolu is actually sweeter. I do like rose, but it is such a common smell here where I live, that it would be really banal wearing a predominantly rose fragrance. I truly do not have the fashion or personality for this and I can really only see this on an older male/women like maybe 40+ .

Nothing complex, nothing deep, nothing really spicy or woody, it's just a rose fragrance, a quite sweet rose fragrance, which is yet another minus. Maybe it fits my personality and body chemistry better but I find that side by side une rose is not as jammy, boozy or sweet.It's certainly somewhat similar to OSM but with far less oud or powder; also similar to Armaf's Club de Nuit Intense, although a lot sweeter. To me, it's an approachable woody-resinous rose, like the gateway drug to a whole world of Amouage, Le Labo, etc. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging .
