In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Ecstasy by Carol's Daughter is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women. Ecstasy was launched in 2007. From the way people describe wearing it, this comes across best as an easygoing style that many people can appreciate quickly.

Reviews →

Moonlight Magic by Bath & Body Works smells like a cool, berry-sweet night. A brief opening of wild red berries and strawberry shifts quickly into a soft jasmine heart, settled on vanilla and white amber. It is an easy-going mist for casual evening lounging or post-shower wind-downs during mild spring nights.
