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.

Interesting and dark rose

It opens sweet and fresh and dries down into a spicy, dark, gothic rose. My husband describes this as a fragrance a vampire would wear 🧛‍♂️
