Etat Libre d`Orange - Frustration

A perfume is a mixture. A mixture like miscellanea that clash between words and materials to explain just a little, without explaining too much, the why of a perfume. Frustration. Frustration, the eldest daughter of renunciation and the sister of perfume, since perfume proceeds like frustration in the game of love. It gives by taking up, a fullness never satisfied, an enjoyment started but never achieved, an infinite movement of desire without completion, without apotheosis, an instillation that excites, seduces, lulls, dominates and annoys. Frustration. Frustration, a perfume to awaken the strong child in the fragile adult or the fragile child in the too-strong adult, a perfume for a regressive journey to the dominion of vanilla, rum and vetiver.

  • Many reviewers rave about the fragrance for its warm and cozy notes, with a blend of vanilla, chestnut, and woody aromas that are perfect for fall and winter.
  • The scent is described as strongly aromatic, with a unique combination of smoky, spicy, and sweet undertones, leading many to find it luxurious and complex.
  • Common compliments among users mention the lasting power and interesting transitions from a strong initial burst to a soft, seductive dry down that exudes warmth and elegance.
  • However, some users find the scent a bit overpowering or too smoky for their taste, while others describe it as leaning more masculine or having a slightly 'cigarette' vibe.

    It’s nice
    This smells very powdery like powdered milk, on me it turned very sweet. I do like the vanilla it’s soft and light. It’s not for me, but it’s still nice.

    A Nice Earthy Vanilla
    Little goes a long way and it's a pleasant version of vanilla notes. The scent changes dramatically though if you double up spritz and sprays.

    Spicy, warm, comforting
    Warm, laconic, bourbon, vanilla, saffron. If you enjoy Commodity Milk, this is in the same scent family but with a more sharp spicy edge to it. Heady and comforting, a good cold weather scent.
