Etat Libre d’Orange

„To me it comes off as a funeral scent, overcast skies, roses, dirt, soil and incense. The name is a line from a Victor Hugo poem.“

„This fragrance is so fascinating because for me it sometimes actually smells like rose lemonade and sometimes like a rose petal in the rain; it is very sparkling and refreshing. I reach for this scent very often because it puts me in a good mood. However, it seems to be a perfume that is mainly intended for the cold months. Unfortunately, both a friend and I perceive a note that is somewhat reminiscent of rancid oil when we use it in spring. Therefore, I won't use it again until autumn.“

„To me, more like a cemetery than a forest. The dampness smells more like wet stone or earth than wood. The mood is quite melancholy, but not unpleasant. Very long-lasting, but with only slight development.“
