With the french actress Laetitia Casta as the face of its campaign, Nina Ricci House launched in 2015 a new fragrance for the line L’extase. An eau de parfum in a dark purple shaded bottle, that looks like a gorgeously elegant clutch with golden details, is just what we needed to “liberate our fantasies”, what the message hidden on the lid suggests.

 L’extase is -among other things- described as “femininity inhabited by eroticism”, and this is so accurate, as it is a floral, modern feminine eau de parfum with an exquisite innocent character. 

 Rose and white flowers create a sweet and powdery overture. Smooth, soft rose petals emerge nestled in the pink pepper’s warmth and it is truly impressive how L’extase manages to protect its floral accord without becoming dull or thick, not for a single moment.
