With this fragrance, Etat Libre d’Orange asks us to become intimate with frustration, understanding that frustration is very much a part of life - and indeed, perfume. The best perfumes frustrate in the same instance that it pleases us, asking us to wait. Raw materials take time before they can be procured, and novel aromamolecules feel more like chance discoveries than they are creations. There is as much pleasure in anticipation as there is frustration - and this fragrance beguiles with a hedonistic and gourmand blend of rum, vanilla, cinnamon, and generous lashings of chestnut grounded with the nutty, woody, and smoky tones of vetiver. Cumin adds warmth that spreads edge-to-edge in this fragrance. Altogether, we chase the lure of Frustration, without knowing where we’ll go or where we’ll end up. It definitely has surprises. Point being, the measure of a great fragrance is that, in spite of frustrations, it results in a valuable experience - and pleasure leads the way all along.
