Clean metallic roses.

According to the brand, "L'Extase Caresse de Roses offers a soft and sensual fragrance inspired by the idea of the naked body, covered only by a scented veil". The composition is a floral bouquet featuring Bulgarian and Turkish roses.

This perfume is a 2016 creation by Francis Kurkdjian, so we can only expect a good one, can't we? It's a wonderful pink floral, versatile, delicate, reminiscent of many others, but with its own identity.

Certainly those who like Roses by Chloe, Chloe, Delina and the like, Stella, Pleasures, Miss Charming, Forever and Ever, Endless Euphoria , and perfumes with a cleaner, more delicate rosy touch, will enjoy it. If you like fresh roses with a greenish touch, you might like it.

It has the DNA of the traditional, preserving the fruity notes of raspberry and pear, the delicate floral body with white flowers and, of course, rose, and the musky base with Patchouli.

It feels like a more daytime version, a flanker with greater wearability, more comfort and less sweetness. I think the main difference is the strong presence of violet and peony notes in Caresse.

I notice a lot of people comparing it to Dior's J'ador, but I honestly don't think it's that similar, although it can be reminiscent at times. There's something a little watery about it too, but not as much as in J'adore. I see it as a little closer to Stella McCartney's fragrances in terms of concept, but this is a very personal observation.

Caresse 's fresh pear and muguet accord fits the roses like a glove and it is a recurring combination in contemporary perfumery that works very well.

It has a green, astringent and flirtatious white floral touch. The violet is one of the most present notes for me, in addition to the geranium-metallic side of the rose. It's airy and slightly sweet, but only slightly!

The patchouli note appears to me more as a pepper, I can feel its spicier side very softly in the background. Nothing here is too sweet, too striking, or invasive. It's a musky, elegant perfume that works well in any weather and on any occasion.

It lasts from 6 to 8 hours and exhales well in the first hour. According to the brand, its pendant was inspired by the "Calisto" bracelet, which was designed by Guillaume Henry. This is the bottle's sophisticated difference.
