La Fin du Monde
La Fin du Monde by Etat Libre d'Orange is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with popcorn, black pepper and sesame, moves into freesia, cumin and iris and dries down to smoke, ambrette seed and sandalwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Popcorn Buttery, toasty and a little salty. Cinema-foyer warmth.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Sesame Toasted, nutty and a little savoury.
Heart
- Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
- Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Dry-down
- Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
