Sgt. Pepper`s lonely hearts club band…
...we hope you will enjoy the show!
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile….
These lines from the Beatles classic fit this fragrance wonderfully, in my opinion. Yes, it not only brings a smile, but the pepper almost makes you laugh, so provocatively does it play the first notes of this scent. And the pepper is peppery! It doesn’t want to soften, and that’s perfectly fine. It intertwines even more intensely with the incense note and the vanilla. The dried plum doesn’t come through for me, but I imagine it would be too sweet, and the vanilla is more than enough as a counterpoint. The camphor is interesting, elegantly playing with the pepper and accompanying the wearer for several hours.
Etat libre d´orange has become one of the more well-known niche fragrances and is certainly not for everyone. “Love it or leave it!” It challenges and provokes time and again with its ambivalent creations, not just with its philosophy. Etienne de Swardt is an intelligent and absolutely creative mind, and he has found the right perfumers for his brand. Perfumers who understand and can implement what de Swardt imagines.
Yes, my fourth Etat libre d´orange again lands in the top spots and will quickly motivate me to make further purchases. I’m looking forward to it.
