A woman scented with Etat Libre d'Orange Jasmin Et Cigarette presents herself with a slender cigarette in a long, elegant holder in a dimly lit room. Her face is indiscernible, illuminated only by the screen playing a black-and-white film about the timeless theme of love. She is unashamed of her habits, taking pride in her rebellious streak.
The distinctive floral fragrance accentuates the inherent femininity of this lady, signaling her romantic and sentimental nature. Initial notes of apricot, coumarin, and turmeric unfold with sweet-spicy shades, ensuring the scent does not become overly sweet. The heart features a sharp-sweet jasmine and fresh grass, highlighted by tobacco, which lends its specific, dry-sharp, slightly spicy, and characteristic aroma. The base notes of zest, amber, and musk evoke a sense of lightness and a certain whimsicality of the perfume's wearer.
This is not the type of fragrance that you can blindly buy based on the description of notes or a blogger's story. It is very complex and ambiguous. After ordering a sample, I fell in love with its unusual sound. I cannot deny the presence of tobacco in it, but it is not the same tobacco as in other fragrances (such as Kilian's Criminal Love or Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille) where it is clearly identifiable. Here, it is like the flower of tobacco itself, bright, resonant, and pleasant (not like an old man's tobacco pipe, like Kilian's, or a sweet hookah tobacco, like Ford's).
The longevity is good, especially on clothes and hair, but I cannot determine the sillage on myself yet. It is definitely worth testing, especially since this brand offers enough samples. I give it an excellent rating in all aspects!
