Disappointing!
I was excited to get this fragrance based on all the hype, and have to say it is my first, & LAST purchase from the house of Etat Libre d'Orange. The opening is like a blast of straight up 'barber shop' euculyptus, which I assume is the Immortelle note, with no floral (rose) at all. The complete dry down is a bit more woodsy, though over all it's a very masculine leaning scent with no complexity. It does smell cheap and is definitely not worth the inflated expense. Nijinsky would be embarrassed! 😳🤷
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Wow
This beautiful fragrance is hard to describe. The opening has a fresh celery rose smell, then leans a lively herbal green vibe. It's super cozy and comforting. This is a 3 spray max kind of fragrance. Sometimes I even just walk through the mist to get a whole other character out of this one. I have wanted this fragrance for a loooooong time and could never find it under $100. FragranceX is where it's at! 🤩 *Only con is it could be too strong of you like ultra light stuff.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
