Details on Etat Libre d’Orange Experimentum Crucis

Legend has it that an apple from a tree fell on Newton's head - and thus, the theory of universal gravitation was born. But imagine instead Newton asleep under a rose bush, where a fully scented, fleshy rose falls. This precise and clear-cut formula creates a chypre that falls sudden and direct, leaving an unforgettable trail. Akigalawood and patchouli embrace a honeyed rose in this experimental creation.

How does Etat Libre d’Orange Experimentum Crucis smell?

Opening with a bold blend of cumin and fresh fruits - crisp apple and exotic lychee - before revealing an opulent heart of rose absolute and jasmine, sweetened with honey. The base unfolds with earthy patchouli, modern Akigalawood, and sensual musk, creating a complex and sophisticated composition.

This scent is wonderful!

This fragrance is wonderful! It cannot be classified as a niche fragrance; it is rather a luxury fragrance in the style of Dior or Chanel. It is approachable, fruity-floral, but by no means flat – it holds a certain mystery. It does not seem in the least rough or masculine-tart, but I would definitely find it appealing to perceive it on a man as well. Without a doubt, I will get myself a bottle!

Opulent and heavy

Dominant rose with a dark, woody basis. Opulent, solemn, and quite heavy. Not bad, but some of my patients had to sneeze constantly because of it 😄

Cumin and Rose Dream

Distant rose mixed with the sweaty heady scent of cumin. I'll be buying this
