EDITOR'S NOTES

The question on Etat Libre d'Orange's mind: if it's the end of the world, how would it smell? And what more can we do? We've rehearsed this before - we've watched the apocalyptic visions and the eschatological blockbusters: Armageddon, Contagion, Dr. Strangelove, H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. We can only put on the popcorn, stay inside, social distance, and watch it unfurl - whether it's on our screens or happening outside of our homes.

And so, for Etat Libre d'Orange, the end of the world smells like buttered popcorn, with a top note of exquisite orris absolute, carrot seed, and ambrette seed, a trio of earthy notes that reminds us of pencil shavings: dry and comforting. The scent is then scandalised: the comfort is disrupted and thrown off balance - where resinous styrax and gunpowder finds itself converging among culinary spices. It's the end of the world. Go out with a bang, for it may as well feel good.

[Review of La Fin du Monde EDP Sample Vial]

This is so much better than expected. A smoky iris pulled straight from the barrel of a gun, one feels like an incidental bystander for some heinous crime witnessed at a safe distance. Life may sometimes feel as though everyone is quietly acting in their own film noir, but there is warmth and seduction brewing just underneath the surface. La Fin Du Monde isn't the end of the world in an instant but a soft and mellow crumbling in slow motion. An absolute winner, I can't wait to have this in my collection.
