What does L'Extase Rose Absolue smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings and nights out leading and leisure wear also possible. It is mostly seen as feminine, with a classic streak.
Taif rose sits at the centre, while benzoin and vanilla sweeten it into a gourmand softness. Black pepper adds spice, and patchouli and Atlas cedar pull it toward a woody, smoky side. Musk leaves a powdery finish. The overall impression is floral, sweet and oriental.
