“The clothes that fire up my emotions are colorful and ‘different’ pieces. My eye still picks out gilded-cloque glamour from among Burberry’s streamlined trench coats or a hand-printed coat from Dries Van Noten. ”

NINA RICCI: L’EXTASE ROSE ABSOLUTE
L’Extase Rose Absolue comes out at the beginning of 2017 as a new Nina Ricci fragrance from the L’Extase line. After the original L’Extase from 2015 and Eau de Parfum Legere version L’Extase Caresse de Roses from 2016, perfumer Francis Kurkdjian created a sensual night-time edition of this fragrance.
The composition of L’Extase Rose Absolue focuses on a luxurious and “burnt” Taif rose accord, spiced at the top with black and pink pepper, before being wrapped in a creamy woody nuance of Atlas cedar. Oriental musks mixed with vanilla, benzoin and patchouli are at the base of the perfume.
Model Laetitia Casta is the face of the campaign. Darker than the previous ones, the bottle is decorated with golden details and a silky black ribbon. The fragrance is available as a 80 ml Eau de Parfum.
