Unbelievably cloing, bloody semen-scent. Someone here managed to have it on 10 min before (trying to) scrub it off. You win! I literally had to run to wash myself before throwing up. In that way,...

Given all the mystique enhanced by odd names and at least one nose-scruncher in the Etat Libre d'Orange line (guess which one that is!), I was a little wary of "Je Suis Un Homme". Well, I needn't...

I tried this one out of morbid curiosity--I normally hate both the smell of fresh French jasmine flowers (grew it once, it smelled like rotting manure compost flowers to me) and of cigarettes.

What an interesting combo, Jasmine and cigarette. I was expecting the scent of upscale tobacco, instead this smells more like camel cigarettes and light jasmine. Although interesting, there is...

I got this as a sample from Mecca in Melbourne. The Etat brand has been a mystery to me for some time, Ive read all the differing reviews here and felt I had to suss it out. Now I realise I wasn't...

Excellent men’s fragrance, but not so masculine that a woman would feel weird wearing it. Brief citrus start, then leather and wood with birch tar, but not too dark or bitter, no turpentine smell....

Algae, stagnant water, seaweed. Really gross as a personal fragrance - unwearable. Salty, “fresh”, and plant-like. Will give it a few points for originality and brave weirdness.

I love Fleur de Narcisse because of that sweet tobacco note and when I had read about Jasmin et Cigarette in The Guide, I wanted to try it ASAP. So, I ordered a decant from TPC. It arrived and I...

I love orange blossoms, and I try all I can get my hands on, so I ordered a sample of this some time ago, tried it, noticed that it was a sweet take on OB that I actually liked, and put it away for...

This perfume reminds me of a Monty Python sketch: it makes no logical sense, but it's fun. Smells exactly like smoldering frankincense and freshly unwrapped DoubleBubble gum, which (oddly enough)...

I like a dose of luxurious aldehydes now and then, and had good memories of smelling Vraie Blonde in NYC at Henri Bendel back in May of this year. My recollection was that Vraie Blonde was...

Rien, aka "Dorian Gray" is the last scent in my Etat Libre d'Orange Smell-A-Thon and I am getting weary of their nonsensical marketing material. Here is an extract from their description of "Rien":...

The bastard child of SL Vetiver Oriental and Bulgari Black. A deep grungy chypre overlaid with a persistent fake-leathery note. It certainly doesn't smell like "nothing" and I'm not sure I even...

Charogne opens with such an overpowering sweet dirty musk on me that for the first hour it flat out makes me nauseous. As it starts to soften after that first hour I can bring myself to at least...

Supposedly inspired by Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn spilled a bellini on herself and passed out in the bathroom in a pile of talc while she was trying to clean up the mess. This is what she smelled like...

I feel slightly nauseous from this one. It is too sweet. I had hopes that the coffee note would save it, but it doesn't. And I'm a gourmand lover! Notes: orange blossom and marshmallow as topnotes;...
