Hey folks, welcome to a new comment from me! Yes… the title says it all, right? I bet you think that all the time about me when I call perfumes or women in general biteable; when I write things like that I enjoy seeing beautiful legs in short skirts or complain that bikini tops slip in the sea just at the moment when I lose my glasses in the water (or don’t have contact lenses) and miss the surely great view,… *sigh*
And my justifications for still being single (and have been for over 800 years! I’m as old as Yoda!!!) and therefore should be allowed to look at women more often only angers you crazy women even more… *sigh again* And yes, I glance occasionally, but I don’t stare, that’s a difference! :D
And then… yes… and then I’m supposed to comment on a fragrance… called TRUE LUST??? Are you kidding me??? Do you know what kind of images could pop into my head if I think about it longer? Do you know how much I have to hold back to not freak out here with a name that translates to True Lust or Desire? Do you even realize how mean you all are?? :D
Tsss,… I’m suffering here, having to describe such fragrances, while you’re laughing your heads off and calling me a lustful pig (and you all are probably even much naughtier than I’ll ever be!!)… if that isn’t mean…! Well, before I get completely worked up, I’d better get to the lustful comment…. uh… yes…
The Fragrance:
At first, the fragrance smells sweetly powdery, reminiscent of scents like Dior Homme and thus of lipstick or makeup. So it’s clear that I’m now thinking of red-painted women’s lips that leave kiss marks everywhere (of course except on me), arrggh!
This powdery sweetness comes from the violets, which smell very nice, but there are many other floral notes as well. The sweeter ones must come from the lily of the valley, as well as a bit from the jasmine. In the background, the fragrance has a slightly herbal-bitter scent, but only if you sniff at the sprayed spot.
I also perceive roses, which, however, are really faint. The rum is stronger, but seems not to last too long, which is a pity, as it came across very nicely in combination with the sweet and powdery floral notes.
A little later, leather notes come into play. Of course, one wants to indulge in a bit of variety and drifts towards lacquer and leather,…. argh…. see why I keep getting indecent thoughts? No wonder, with such fragrance notes!! :D
And then there are also animalistic notes, sure… tsss,… But, you can hardly smell them, and if they weren’t listed in the fragrance pyramid, I wouldn’t have noticed them at all.
Anyway, the fragrance continues to smell sweetly powdery with slightly bitter notes (which are now a bit stronger) as well as indeterminate flowers, and now also this rice powder that gives off a slightly dry scent. A little later, I suddenly smell citrusy and lovely orange notes, although faint, but still detectable, which I find great, but I would have expected them much earlier in the top notes.
Much later, the fragrance continues to smell as described, only that it comes across a little softer, as the bitter-herbal notes lose some strength again and the oranges fade away. Most of the sweet notes seem to come from the amber. Lastly, you can smell, as usual, almost only the vanilla. All in all, a nice, powdery floral scent.
The Sillage and Longevity:
The sillage is still quite good at the beginning, but I felt that the fragrance loses a large part of its strength quite quickly, so that it radiates rather moderately most of the time, which can only be perceived better up close. The longevity is extremely long, as you can still smell the fragrance on the sprayed spot the next morning for a while, even if it should only be the vanilla.
The Bottle:
The bottle is rectangular, but somehow it looks like it’s triangular, as the label is applied over two sides and the bottle is always seen from the front edge in pictures. The bottle is red, with a purple and round label. The cap is gold-plated and cylindrical. An interesting bottle that, upon closer inspection, is actually simpler than it appears. Still a nice bottle.
…Endless meanness *grumble* *grumble*
How can you say that I… oh,… oops, I’m still complaining here, while the fragrance description and introduction have long been over… he he :D
So, the fragrance turned out quite nice, but somehow also a bit “harmless” than one might expect from Etat Libre. Yes, it smells thematically correct, namely like makeup with a sexy aura and about women in general, but you can really only smell a handful of the many listed fragrance notes. But that’s okay, as the fragrance is still nice, as I said.
I like that it doesn’t just smell sweet and powdery, because it also has this bitter, almost herbal note in the background, which sets it apart a bit from many other sugary sweet powdery fragrances. And yes, it’s a fragrance that you could actually really… uh… let’s say go out with :D It’s more suited for the evening (and probably also, as the evening… ends… with tearing off dresses and so and… uh! Yes, see, that’s what you get when I’m supposed to comment on a fragrance called True Lust!! *sigh*).
I think I shouldn’t go into further details, as you’d anyway consider me a lustful pig and would prefer to keep your distance from me, nooooooooo!!! :((((( Wow, now I’m sad, so a new comment will only appear after another 800 years, HA!
…. Tsss… despite what you really think of me, I wish you heartthrobs a nice evening, until next time then,… sometime anyway, mu ha ha ha!
