Delightful fall scent
Septamber opened on my skin with boozy apricot and labdanum heavy amber. There's a smattering of spicy tea and sweet tobacco. Dried down to surprising and quite beautiful Immortelle, a la Goutal Sables. Moderate sillage, excellent longevity. Going on my wishlist!
Absolutely unisex, and perfect for Autumn

Dark woody Patchouli
My Love Has the Colour of the Night is by Sophie Labbe, and a highlight for me of the Floraïku discovery set.
Predominantly a beautiful Patchouli, with Guaiac, Vetiver & Cedar.
Reminiscent of Hwyl by Aesop.
A dark, earthy and woodsy scent, perfect for rainy days and introspection.
It's a rare reach for me, but I love my little travel sized bottle for the days when I'm in a particular mood. I think the price point on full size is a bit preposterous given their simplicity, but the packaging is stunning, and the materials are high quality.

Dark Chocolate & Labdanum stunner
Ummagumma is a swoon worthy, dark and dreamy concoction.
Predominantly dark chocolate and the most wonderful labdanum. Sure, there's cedar, subtle vanilla and Tonka rounding out the blend, but it's a warm cloak of chocolate and labdanum from start to finish. Excellent longevity and moderate sillage.
I often put on before bed.
Completely unisex. Suitable for night/day, anytime but a hot sunny day or summer.

Cozy roasted chestnut gourmand
This is one of my favorites for curling up at home, and it's perfect tonight while heavy rain, thunder and lightning rage outside.
It's a unique gourmand, not particularly sweet.
Roasted chestnuts, milky vanilla and tonka with a buttery phase, then midway a delicate tuberose enters the mix. Eventually dries down to a most impeccable amber. Longevity is superb, sillage is rather close. Wearing to bed, I know I'll wake up still able to smell it.
The scent of roasted chestnuts is very nostalgic, reminds me of winter in NYC with my grandfather.
I'm halfway through my travel sized bottle already, kicking myself for not getting full size.
It's a literal bittersweet fragrance.

Bakhoor-ish Rose and Oud
500 Hundred Years seems to me quite a departure from the line, if I smelled this blind I'd guess it was by Montale or perhaps Fort & Manle.
Opens on my skin with Rose , a very nice, sweet and clean Oud, and hint of dusty dark chocolate.
Very much like a high end bakhoor.
Unisex, but leans ever so slightly masculine.
As the oud blossoms, saffron becomes apparent. About an hour or so in soft woods enter the picture.
Midway through the Rose recedes to background, and the oud, saffron and woods become predominant. Eventually dries down to beautiful chocolate-y amber oud skinscent about 6 or 7 hours after spritzing.
Best performance of any ELd'O I've tried.
If you love Montale Intense Cafe, I would think you'd love this.
For me it's a like not a love, but I imagine this being great on someone else.
