Perfume Report
Jan. 3rd, 2022 01:12 pmBack in November, I was intrigued enough by reviews for one of Etat Libre d’Orange that I caved and ordered samples through Luckyscent. Today they finally arrived. The vials are about the same size as BPAL’s imps’-ears.
You Or Someone Like You
ELO’s description: “The raw materials are completely irrelevant. The work is the work. If you need to know what it’s made of, don’t wear it; You is not for you.” Uh, ok then.
In the bottle: Grapefruit and mint. I got some on my fingers so I’ll try this one first:
On my skin:very faint mint, like chewing-gum. Occasionally getting hints of the grapefruit.
Drydown: It’s like having the fruit plate for breakfast in a restaurant. Still not getting much other than the mint and grapefruit smell, but they’re blending together in a pleasant way.
ETA— After several hours: I can’t smell much of it directly on my skin anymore, but the scent sort of follows me around, and it’s gone quite sharp and sweet. It’s pleasant, but I’m not yet sure if it’s really “me.”
