The 2 I got look nothing like those tube pics we've seen, but they do look fairly close to the little swatches on the drop-down list where you choose what you want to add to your bag on chanel.com..
Chanel lipsticks - Rouge Coco, Rouge Allure, etc.

Shontay -- I am dying over Extatique. I was just online looking for an orchid color lippie today. Oh my word, so gorgeous. I wonder what it would look like on my skintone? I am a NW 20-25 depending on the time of year. I'm sure it looks amazing on you
Do you happen to remember what Secrete(described as blue soft pink) and Exaltee (fuschia) looked like?

Bonitinha, Secrete was actually my third choice! I was so close to walking away with it, but I had to control myself. It's so pretty. Soft blue pink seems like a fairly accurate description. Not so solid on the blue, but it's definitely a soft pink. On my hand, from what I remember, I'd think of it more as a rose pink. I swear, all this swatching of colors makes me wonder if I need to brush up by playing with a box of crayons. It gets overwhelming and confusing. What I love about Secrete is that it seemed like a really everyday kind of color. I remember swatching Exaltee a few times. It's beautiful also. I kept swatching it next to Extatique just to see the difference (anyone watching me would think I have OCD). The difference being the sheen to Extatique while Exalte is just a beautiful fuchsia. I have a couple of those already so I chose Extatique. I think Secrete, Exaltee and Extatique will be great on you. Again, I think 99% of these colors will work on everyone. That's what makes this so great. I'm interested in seeing how Extatique looks on different people. It plays with the light in such an interesting way and depending on how much you put on and the pigmentation of your lips, you can really get a cool effect going on.

I know I swatched Seduisante, but I don't have a clear memory of it. Looking at the swatch of it above, they are completely different. I'd say it's Probably cooler, deeper, more muted.

Thanks Miss QQ. I don't have those anymore, but I'm going to say when it's actually on Gracile does give a more nude effect to the lips than those 2 did. The scent is the same but lighter, which I'm very happy about! Overall I'm very enthused about the new RAs, like Shontay.
BTW...in the pic I used for my avatar the person who answered the phone at chanel.com yesterday said this:
Front row - Gracile - Seduisante (looks more like Pimpante to me???) - Secrete (looks like Seduisante to me, but then where is Secrete?)
Second row - Enjouee (didn't ask about the next 2 pinks, sorry, but I bet Shontay can tell us what's what there)
Third row - Pimpante (looks more like this would be Excentrique to me, what about you Shontay?) - Pirate - Coromandel
Fourth row - Palpitante - Passion - Inimitable - Incandescente
Fifth row - did not ask
Hope this helps someone, even if it confused me. lol

On my lips the color really looks like my swatch above, at least on my monitor. I guess I'd say pale warm pink. I have mauvey pigmented lips so on saran wrap lips it might look different. I expected it to have more beige in it but really I'm glad it doesn't. It's really beautiful (esp as opposed to La Furtive for example). I thought you were getting the whole pink row?

thanks for this TThis just basically made me want Extatique, which is totally unexpected. This also does not seem to be very Chanel-ish of a shade, as I expected it to be somewhere along the lines of Insolente - bright but still very sophisticated; this seems more on the fun side, but I really like it! I was originally eyeing Seduisante. Secrete and maybe Gracile, but it seems Seduisante is too deep a pink for my very pale skin, Gracile is too warm, and Secrete is not available at Nordie's online. I am also now debating whether I need Passion. Or Palpitante. Or basically any red that'd suit my coloring! but extatique - of course I need extatique!Top-#96 Excentrique Bottom-#94 Extatique

Gracile - not really a nude, more of a slight beiged/warmer pinked peach but pretty on
Seduisante - a very beautiful medium pink
Beautiful pics, Elegant! Thanks for posting, also Winthrop and Shontay for the swatches.
I really like both, Gracile and Seduisante, but Gracile a little better. I think I might have asked about this already or it has been discussed earlier in this thread, but I believe we're getting different shades in Europe. I think Gracile is the one we're not getting.
So I'll probably get Seduisante or Evanescente.

Here's a pic of me wearing Extatique today. Love it so much. It lasted all day. The pic doesn't really capture the full beauty of it, but I tried. Cropped the pic b/c I feel blah about my face right now. Excuse my lips. They're not at their best. I don't know if it's the weather or what, but my skin is just going through something right now.
BTW, it goes perfectly with Mac's Embrace Me lipliner. I used that just around the edges.
