Chant d'Extase
Nina Ricci (2018)

The opening of this perfume is sweet, flowery and fresh. Just one spray and it feels like fresh out of the shower. Most reviews tell you that the longevity is pretty bad, so an extra spray is justified. You want to smell clean isn't it? A few minutes later your partner asks you what is going on. The sweet and flowery scent is not only attached to your skin and clothes but lingers through the whole house. No, it is not bad, but yes it is everywhere. At work your colleagues look at you and say; ' nice'. There is a scent trail. The whole office smells nice indeed. Nobody is offended. After two hours Nina Ricci Chant d'Extase is the only thing that you are able to smell. It covers the scent of coffee, food and smoke. But that's not a problem, you are working. After three hours your nose is almost able to behave normal again and you forget that you still smell like something unknown. When you're home from work and open the frontdoor the scent is still there. After a few steps inside you feel wrapped by the scent again. Sweet and fresh at the same time. A non existent flower. But you have things to do so you block your mind to ignore the smell. You are a busy woman. However, when the frontdoor opens again the message this scent is willing to tell you becomes clear, very clear. 'I am nice'.

In the top you smell fruity sweetness and sea-marine notes. Think of a summer evening, salty sea water and a large glass of iced tea with a fresh slice of lemon. In the base you find musk and ambergris. Two ingredients that are responsible for the longevity. Ambergris can give a masculine vibe, depending on the development on your skin.
