Story of Your Life
Story of Your Life by Etat Libre d'Orange is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with labdanum, davana and benzoin, moves into bay leaf, orange blossom and croissant and dries down to rum, vanilla and amberwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Heart
- Bay Leaf Warm, aromatic and slightly sweet. The backbone of classic barbershop scents.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Croissant Buttery, flaky pastry fresh from the oven.
Dry-down
- Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
