From the brand:
"Some of us have known it, others have yet to experience it, but we are all waiting or looking for it. It will come.
"I often have this strange, penetrating dream,” we whisper in the warm, enveloping caramel arms of and the sweet, ripe fruitiness of . There is a vague but strong hope, nurtured alone on a blanket of yesteryear, when the hope, the dream, becomes reality, when the meeting takes place, at last, and everything makes sense.
This is a home, a haven, a shelter.
Words fail us, but our souls speak to each other in complete transparency.
Our ancient hearts find their way back together.
I already know you, we say.
From our first morning of buttered bread and ORANGE BLOSSOM, savored in laurels of yesterday.
We soar, intoxicated, high on RUM, infused with VANILLA and COCOA. Full of that body, the feeling we want to devour.
On the pillow, we leave our signature, the bare skin effect of ORCANOX, the undress of AMBER WOODS and PATCHOULI.
We'll meet again tonight, tomorrow or in another life.
TRUE LOVE IS ETERNAL BEGINNING AGAIN."
Etat Libre d'Orange Story of Your Life is an eau de parfum, edp.
Fragrantica - "I *do* get the bread, but it’s not a soft white loaf straight out of the oven. This is a loaf that’s thick, hardy and yeasty. Medieval tavern bread."
Fragrantica - "Right off the bat, this smells like a resinous/syrupy leather note with something resembling burnt coffee. But there’s no coffee/leather note in this composition, which makes me believe it’s the benzoin/bread/rum & cocoa notes giving me the impression that there’s leather in here. Very unisex scent, would smell amazing in the cold weather on a man/woman wearing a leather jacket."
Fragrantica - "I know there are other ambery-gourmand fragrances out there but this one slaps! I feel like I've been sitting at a cafe simply people-watching all day. There is something familiar and comforting that makes me smile."
