Yes I Do
Yes I Do by Etat Libre d'Orange is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with aldehydes, lily of the valley and pear, moves into peony, jasmine and orange blossom and dries down to cedarwood, cocoa and musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
