Didn't like the smell
11/21/2019
Smells like my Grandma’s couch.
I’m not sure why I went with this one since I had a feeling the notes probably wouldn’t work with my chemistry... I should’ve listened to my instincts. Yuck. If jasmine and leather work with your skin, go for it. Otherwise, no thanks.

Baby Powder Nightmate
Smells like old lady and feminine hygiene spray. My 62 year old mother said it “wasn’t bad”.

Awesome
Love this sent. It's sweet and spicy at the same time. I don't detect any coconut. The scent lasts a long time. It's more of a date night scent but id wear it anywhere.

Dupe that I’ve been looking for..almost
My signature scent has always been the aromatherapy line’s Jasmine Vanilla from bath and body works. They discontinued it a year or so ago and that was a sad time for me. I have struggled to find a dupe that captures the true essence of what I consider to be a masterpiece by a mall store. Well..this stuff is the closest I have found! It has the powdery notes, the jasmine, etc. but it really lacks the sweet vanilla base that BBW served with their version. The sweetness really helped to cut through the almost cloying powder element. Also, I would say the jasmine notes in this perfume are “dirtier” if that makes sense. It has almost a bitter smell to it after dry down. I really like it- I will wear the sample til it’s gone- but I won’t purchase a full size and hear you me (that’s a thing people say, isn’t it?) I will continue to search for my precious dupe! :)

I like woodsy or patchouli scent and this combines both with a bold aroma. This is my favorite!!!

When I first put it on, it smells powdery, but once it melds with my own natural scent, it smells amazing! It's the only one that my boyfriend has commented on about how good it smells on me. Guess I need to buy a big bottle of it. LOL

Like it, don’t love it
I’ve been hating my monthly picks lately,but surprisingly kinda like this. It’s more perfumey than my normal scents(I usually wear Nitro Noir or Montale Chocolate Greedy). I actually like this layered over the Nitro Noir from Kieran NYC, to give it a more grown-up, sexy nighttime vibe

Powdery old lady
Old lady overwelming powerful powder like scent

True Lust
I love that it is a little stronger fragrance, and it stays with me longer. The scent is also good for me to meditate with. It has a real purpose for me.
02/27/2019
Powdery
This scent is hard to describe, it's a very powdery scent and it's hard to pick up the rum and coconut. I can't smell the coconut at all so it's probably just the rum I'm smelling. It's an OK scent but not for me.
02/25/2019
I like it but very powdery
This is a nice scent BUT I was expecting something a little more spicy and not as powdery. Yes, it does smell primarily of a very floral baby powder but I like it just fine. If you are into flowery, powdery scents, then this is the one for you. I like how it smells very clean as well but all I really smell is the strong baby powder smell.
02/20/2019
Underrated
I just got this perfume as my newest subscription and I think it's fairly underrated here. It's definitely something unique! On me, the opening is baby powdery and warmly orange blossom-y which fades fairly quickly into a dark, warm, very spicy and almost incence-y fragrance. I would probably describe this in an original YSL Opium type category. It fades out into sweet yet still spicy woods-y notes, almost cedar like and very crisp. Mysterious and alluring. A good night time, winter scent.
02/18/2019
Too Much like Powder
If you like baby powder smell then you will like this but i didn’t care for it.
02/13/2019
Yummy
I would absolutely buy a full size of this. It is not a light floral. The rum lends it a richer tone. Love it.

Spicy and sweet
I love this scent. It's dark and subtle, and sexy

Love Most of this Brand but not this one
I LOVE Etat Libre d Orange but not so much this scent. For reference, my favs are Fat Electrician and Remarkable People... both of which are more woodsy, spicy and etc. This is a bit too sweet and floral for me. Beautiful for the more girlie, but not for me.

Wrapped in wings
I love this! It makes me feel wrapped up in Angel feathers.
12/09/2018
Amazing
This is one of my favorite scents this far. It is sexy and elegent, it evokes thoughts of sexy date nights, with a candle light dinner that ends I the bedroom.
11/26/2018
Let the spray settle... it’s worth it.
It was a little overwhelming with the first spray but dissipates quickly to a beautiful and simple daily wear. I like this layered with Molinard’s Figue
11/26/2018
Mixed Signals
I'm not sure how all these things blend together because it definitely smells like rum with traces of leather but it also reminds me of baby wipes?
11/21/2018
Absolutely love.
Smells citrus. I love it. I get compliments all the time wearing this a scent

Baby Powder - disappointment
I guess i should have read the reviews first. The description sounded inviting as well did the way the product is described to smell. I tried it on and all anyone could smell was overpowering baby powder. Not sure how the name and ingredients end up smelling like that, but would not suggest wasting money on this fragrance. Just buy some baby powder....
11/08/2018
Horrible
I usually find good in most scents this one is nasty. Don't waste your time.

Too much like baby powder
I did not like giants fragrance at all. It smells like very strong baby powder.

Very nice
At first reminded me of Loves Baby Soft from my Jr High school days. After applied, just a more grown up sexy version. Clean, long lasting, not overwhelming at all. Will use this for everyday.

I absolutely loved this one! So disappointed that it only last for about half an hour. Wish it lasted longer! Nice fresh scent then under tones of the rum and coconut....great combo, now fix it to last longer please!

It was kind of grandma smelling

Too Baby-Powdery.
This may be the third and last fragrance I've tried by this label. Each one has been a disappointment.
There is nothing 'lustful' about this fragrance. Starts off offensively powdery and dries down to a common knock-off perfume.
I was hoping for warm and complex and got Love's Babysoft's annoying cousin.
08/31/2018
Was considering
I was really interesting in trying scentbird because the obvious of various perfumes being shipped monthly to try something new but after reading all these horrible reviews today I'm glad I didn't subcribe last month as I was going to! Thank you reviewers you saved me $$$

Not happy
I sighed up with sentbird through a friend.. Still have not received my first sent or the free one it was supposed to come with. Nor did o receive the little case. I have received second month that I paid for, but was not the sent that I put for. They have charged me 3 time and I’m just tired. I was trying to give them time to correct it. I don’t think they will. Trying to cancel subscription 😪

if you'll get hold of customer service they'll take care of any problems you have this really is a good website I had a little bit of problem in the beginning getting started but once it got moving I've been with him about 2 years now and every month they're just like clockwork so if you'll call customer service there's a phone number here on the website they'll work with you to straighten it out

NOT WORTH ANYTHING
A few years ago I joined Scentbird and I loved it. I loved the concept. After about a year or so they started messing things up. I was promised credit, new shipment and received nothing. I quit for a while and decided to try it again. Well it’s happening again. Pay for two and get only one. This is by far the worst company ever. I’m going to cancel again but they already charged me for two of course so again they get free money
08/30/2018
Not happy!
Scentbird was my favorite thing..till this summer. It took two months to get my last order. I was promised first a free case. Then a free scent. Then 10 dollar credit which would mean spending more money. I finally got my scent 6 weeks late with nothing. I cancelled my subscription.

The issue that you’re complaining about has been explained by Scentbird and has nothing to do with the scent. You’re review lowers the score for the scent which is unfair to those of us who use them to choose the fragrances.

Not just lust, love it!
Hard to decribe, seems true to the listed notes, blends in a seamless smooth scent that is classy and balanced. Powdery, creamy, floral, sweet without being loud, sharp, or over the top. I was worried about how strong the coconut would be. I love Creed Virgin Island Water, which contains a coconut note but doesn't smell heavy, dried or like sunscreen or hair products. This is not similar, but the quality of elegance and sweetness with balanced by some freshness is the same. The darker notes like rum and leather are present, but in such a gentle way that it doesn't overwhelm it all. That a perfume can manage to be floral, fruit, leathery and kind of gourmand while still smelling balanced is truly special.

True Lust
The initial scent on my skin is powdery and somewhat smoky, but given time to work with my own body chemistry it ends less powdery and more sweet through out the day. At the end of the day I can definitely smell the jasmine and sandalwood. I liked this scent and plan to queue more from this brand in the future.

This smells so good on my skin
Sometimes things smell good in the bottle, but not on my skin. This was not the case! The leather undernotes are what I love most about this.
06/29/2018
Nice scent, doesn't last
I love the leathery dark scents and this one doesn't disappoint in the complexity of the fragrance. Longevity? Nope. As in 20 minutes later I could only smell a hint of it on my clothing. Unless I feel like applying every half hour, this one is a thumbs down.
06/26/2018
Naww, I’m alright
To me this smelled like a mixture of a musty man, and incense. After it dries down the mustiness goes away, but to me it’s not worth it. I wouldn’t buy a bottle of it, and it’s actually more a winter or fall fragrance.
06/08/2018
Really liked it
Loved the richness of this scent

Lusty
I was not super impressed with this one at first, after wearing it for a bit it grows on you. Not my favorite but very pretty.
06/02/2018
Powdery....
While I was reading the reviews saying this scent was powdery I was hoping it was just a matter of smell being so subjective. It's not /that/ subjective....This has an overwhelming powdery scent. I tried so hard to discern different notes but all I could detect was a freshly opened bottle of baby powder. There is a litttllee floral to it thats nice but its quickly overwhelmed. Not my favorite.
06/02/2018
Smells Like Liquid Baby Powder
The description of this made it sound way more woody of a fragrance than it was. Once sprayed on, it smells like I covered myself in baby powder. Super disappointed.
05/30/2018
I really enjoyed this in the bottle
Once on me... it smelled VERY powdery and very unpleasant. It smells nice on my friend so I gave it to her.
05/02/2018
AMAZING!!!
I love love love the smell of this. It smells super sexy perfect for a date night, not too overpowering or headache inducing. It has a smoky, coconut smell that it to die for. I would strongly recommend this for winter or colder days as its just spicy enough to warm you.
05/02/2018
Etat Libre d'orange True Lust
I should have listened to the reviews. Very powdery and heavy. Yes, a bit old school. Not the scent for me.
05/01/2018
Baby powder
It did not smell horrible but something that I would not wear. It smelt like baby powder.
04/28/2018
Something Different
Straight from the bottle it smells like baby powder, almost exclusively. However on the skin it comes to life. The leather and rum over power the coconut (for me at least, there are so many variations of a coconut smell that they may have used a more true coconut smell and less of a sweet version). By some miracle the jasmine comes through very very well. If you like the leather, but still want something feminine and floral I would recommend this fragrance.
04/27/2018
interesting
very fresh with notes of leather quite distinctive at first, then becomes sweet and comforting with the coconut
04/15/2018
Not My Favorite!
The notes listed for this scent had me very curious and excited, especially the coconut and rum notes. Unfortunately, the violet/powdery note is very overpowering. In the first hour of wearing this, I kept thinking I smelled like baby shampoo. As it dried down, I started to notice the leather note, which was very nice. I didn't find that it lasted very long, but it was very strong in the first few hours. I also found this to be a VERY feminine scent, and am surprised that it is listed as unisex.

True lust
I just love this scent! Smells just as described. Perfect blend for me for anytime of year. Not a heavy scent.
03/17/2018
Sexy and Sophisticated
The first nose is powdery and complex. A few moments later it makes my lady bits quiver. Thus would be a super sexy scent for an evening date or selling a product. I felt awkward wearing it around my parents and at a work convention.
03/08/2018
Not my cup of tea
It's a nice clean older lady smell. For me the baby powder smell just doesn't fade away. And I really hoped it would. But it did hang out for quit awhile, which suprised me.

Did not care for the perfume. It was very powdery. Very light, plain.

Love this fragrance so much! Another hit from Etat Libre d’Orange. All of the notes combine for a super elegant & sexy perfume experience. It is absolutely not for the faint of heart, very long lasting & potent.
01/22/2018
Too powdery
I didn’t catch the other notes since the powdery smell is so intense. I asked my husband what he thought and he said it smelled like baby powder. Doesn’t smell bad but not at all what I was expecting. Not for me.

Last a long time and is quite strong .Not a horrible smell but wasn't for me .

01/05/2018
True Lust is sexy and old school glamour....
I LOVE Etat Libre D'Orange (aka ELdO), and own a few of their scents. True Lust is definitely one of their sexier, more glamourous scents...definitely an evening date night 'fume. Think of the back in the day, vintage smell of a woman's lipsticks in a leather bag. Also in her bag is her bottle of scent, maybe a scented silk scarf. I enjoy True Lust very much! Glad to have this in my collection, and would consider a full size bottle if the right sale came along.....

This fragrance is very strong and almost like an old lady perfume when you first spray it. It calms down okay and smells a little better after but it is powdery and I can definitely smell the rum notes in it, almost too much. I might wear it once in a while, but it certainly isn’t my favorite. Won’t get it again.
