L'Extase Caresse de Roses is a fresh, youthful floral with a pronounced rose and peony heart, enhanced by a sparkling pear and bergamot opening. It unfolds with a delicate balance of powdery musk, violet, and lily-of-the-valley, creating a clean, airy, and slightly sweet impression reminiscent of a spring garden. The perfume is delicate and unobtrusive, offering moderate sillage and an overall lasting presence that stabilizes after the initial burst, though some have noted it fades significantly after two hours. It is best worn during daytime, warm seasons, and in settings where a subtle, romantic scent is desired—particularly suited for spring and summer. It stands as a lighter, more radiant interpretation of the original L'Extase, with fewer gourmand notes and a more modern, modern floral profile.
