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 then let’s imagine a different scene – Newton, asleep under a rose bush. And instead of an apple, a flower falls, an enormous rose, a fully scented, fleshy rose. Would he have felt it? Would he have plunged his face into the heart of the flower? And what would this mean for his theory? This scent: A chypre! And a very precise and clear-cut formula, like something that falls on you, sudden and direct. And never leaves you. A trail of scent that holds on. Akigalawood and patchouli for a honeyed rose.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Like a tempting bite from a forbidden paradise, the apple note’s tangy and slightly sour aroma gives the fragrance an undeniably fresh character. It’s uplifting and vivacious at once, and depending on where it is used in the composition, it can either lighten up the scent or give it depth and anchor it in elegance. Thanks to its multifaceted profile, it pairs well with all perfumery notes but shines best when accompanied by spices and other fruity notes for added excitement.

Chypre

    I’m unsure
    I’m conflicted with this perfume, I can’t stop smelling it, but I don’t think I like it for me personally. I really can’t decide. It’s better after having 10+ mins to settle. Initially it just smells like walking into the perfume section in a department store. I think it’s a little too mature for me, it’s warm from the honey, musky and very floral. I was hoping for more notes of patchouli. However I am happy to add it my perfume collection. (My boyfriend thinks it smells like medicine, however I don’t get that vibe lol)

    Unique
    ELDO has done it again. You can really smell the opening apple, patchouli, and woody notes. Very warm and inviting. Although it is unisex, to me, it seems to fall more on the masculine side, so I gave it to my 12 yo son and he loves it

    Whoa. Yuck.
    I've usually like scents from ELDO, but this was abhorrent to me. I couldn't wash it off fast enough. And it was SO STRONG.
