Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Protection Eau de Parfum

This is the second bottle I've picked up via the 'Editors Picks' sample pack. I've been on the hunt for a rose-based scent for years now but most of them are a little too confronting - this is a perfect balance for those who like the Rose profile but with enough peripheral backup of other components to even it out. Not super adventurous but this one's perfect for workplace usage and a general scent-up before heading out with friends for a bite to eat and some cheeky beers ;)

Probably the best online company I have ever dealt with. The reason I bought this fragrance was from a sample in a previous order. Thank you otherwise my husband wouldn’t have discovered his favourite aftershave!

This is a very sweet scent. It's pleasant, but I am not sure you would want to be the guy who smells like this. It's got an almost sickly ginger/musk lolly note under the rose. My wife tried this and initially she said she preferred it on herself. She was thinking she'd 'liberate' the Libre but even she said after 2 hours on her skin it was too cloying and sickly. On the plus side, at a tiny 50mls this is not going to be something that lasts you long even if you do love it.

I was sent a trial of this EDP as part of another order.. and WOW! One dab after a shower drove me back to the site to order a full bottle that very evening! The scent is the perfect balance of the deep and complex floral top-notes of a warm Summer's eve, mixed with the headiness of a hearth and a deep pile of blankets at Winter. It is the perfect scent for a night out, or a night in.. Very highly recommended!
