Great opening + dissapointing dry down = average fragrance
Remarkable People by Etat Libre d’Orange is a fragrance with a great opening and average dry-down. It is a versatile and fun creation that excels in certain parts rather than delivering a full high-quality experience. Inspired by people who have made a significant impact on the world, this fragrance is worth sampling at least.
TOP NOTES
The fragrance opens up with a blend of bubbly grapefruit and cold cardamom that mixes so well that you might want to take a bite out of the spot where you sprayed the fragrance.
I’m not sure how the perfumer accomplished this, given that the grapefruit smells like candy and is nowhere near the quality we’ve seen in other releases, such as Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever or Hermes Terre d’Hermes Eau Givree. However, the opening of this fragrance smells better than both of the previously mentioned scents.
HEART NOTES
Unfortunately, the potential to create something new, vibrant and next-level begins to fade away as the middle notes start to emerge. I can’t express how much I love the first ten minutes of this fragrance and how fantastic it smells. For that experience alone, this scent is worth sampling and even owning if you want something casual and different from what everyone else might wear. The fragrance remains super versatile and uplifting as we’re introduced to the spicy heart with black pepper accord and mildly floral jasmine that makes the scent wearable for both women and men.
BASE NOTES
The dry-down should have been better. The labdanum and lorenox should have produced an amber/leathery experience which is non-existent here. When the fragrance finally settles down to its final stage, what we are left with are traces of the citrusy opening, spicy heart, and javanol that mimics real sandalwood.
OVERALL
This fragrance is a pure example of why I don’t like fragrance hype in any form. For me, ELDO is a hit-or-miss house that usually delivers good stuff but never a masterpiece. I love how the grapefruit blends with the spicy cardamom and the fantasy champagne accord, producing a scent that is almost bubbly.
However, I am not sure why the fragrance in the dry-down feels so basic and unfinished, with only generic javanol molecule and little else.
