Etat Libre d’Orange’s True Lust is the perfect blueprint for devastating sensuality. This fragrance is packed with every single note needed to boost your sensual signal.
True Lust wastes no time with small talk, and boldly opens with sweet, dark rum, roses, rich coconut, and demure violets (just to mess with you a little.) The beginning top notes of this fragrance hit you like a wild night you can dimly remember, but can’t entirely forget. It’s absolutely mesmerizing. After this boozy, velvety opening subsides, True Lust switches into pure romance mode and shows its softer side. Peachy osmanthus, silky jasmine, smoky ylang, and a juicy shot of tangerine all combine in a dizzy and distracting floral heart.
And now that you’re basically jelly, True Lust saves the best for last. The dry down on this release is a monster: black leather, animalic accents, rice powder (like the scent of warm, soft skin getting much warmer), a little sensual sandalwood, and musky ambergris to tie it all together. Save True Lust for when you know exactly who and what you want, and all the time in the world to get them both.
