What does Extatic (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The opening pairs Nashi pear, osmanthus and rose into a sweet, fruity floral bouquet. In the heart, iris, jasmine and Sharry baby orchid add a soft, powdery quality. Cashmere wood, amyris and leather settle underneath, giving the scent a woody, lightly spicy, oriental base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, followed by winter, and evening, night out and leisure are the leading occasions. Most voters read it as feminine. Lancôme Magnifique (Eau de Parfum) and La Perla J'Aime la Nuit have a close profile.
