Rose Extase vs Si

Rose Extase by Nina Ricci is viewed positively by the r/fragrance community as an affordable, pleasant floral fragrance with a sweet and fruity rose character. The scent strikes a balance between girly and mature, making it suitable for spring and casual wear. Community discussion is limited, but those who mention it appreciate its accessible price and cheerful, feminine profile.

The community has mixed feelings about Si Intense, with significant division centered on reformulation issues. While those who own original versions love the blackcurrant and fresh qualities, many are disappointed by recent 2021-2023 reformulations that have weakened performance and changed the scent profile. The newer versions are frequently criticized as generic and underwhelming compared to the beloved original black bottle.
