Etat Libre d`Orange - Experimentum Crucis

Legend has it that an apple from a tree fell on Newton’s head – and thus, the theory of universal gravitation was born. But then let’s imagine a different scene – Newton, asleep under a rose bush. And instead of an apple, a flower falls, an enormous rose, a fully scented, fleshy rose. Would he have felt it? Would he have plunged his face into the heart of the flower? And what would this mean for his theory? This scent: A chypre! And a very precise and clear-cut formula, like something that falls on you, sudden and direct. And never leaves you. A trail of scent that holds on. Akigalawood and patchouli for a honeyed rose.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Like a tempting bite from a forbidden paradise, the apple note’s tangy and slightly sour aroma gives the fragrance an undeniably fresh character. It’s uplifting and vivacious at once, and depending on where it is used in the composition, it can either lighten up the scent or give it depth and anchor it in elegance. Thanks to its multifaceted profile, it pairs well with all perfumery notes but shines best when accompanied by spices and other fruity notes for added excitement.

    Interesting but not like I am Trash
    This might be the only Chypre fragrance that I like. My main reason that I brought it was because it was supposed to be the stronger version of I am Trash by the same brand. I barely pick up on the Apple and Akigala wood notes. That being said, I’m pretty impressed at how the cumin makes this fragrance smell like a mad scientist. Maybe the wood notes do something to it that helps to it. The other note that sticks out too much for me is Rose which I’m not a fan of. It’s the powdery rose, btw. So I basically see this as dance between the cumin and rose with barely any lychee and apple. If you do get a whiff other notes, it very lovely scent and also complex.

    I enjoy this scent a lot, the rose is a lot but it fades down to a long lasting rich scent. A new favorite.

    Definitely something
    I, in general, have loved all of the ELDO scents I’ve gotten. This scent is STRONG. One sample spritz to smell it and it has taken over my whole one bedroom apartment. Now if that were the case with one of the other samples I’ve received, I’d be overjoyed. I feel like a nursing home has taken over my apartment. It smells as if it 1000 aged women all decided to get ready for a church function in my living room. The scent is earthy and musky, and simply not a vibe for me.
