And here’s my final entry on my list of the #Top10 perfumes of 2020: @etatlibreorange #ExitTheKing, by #RalfSchwieger and #CecileMatton. A chypre so bitter, so metallic and so super-scrubbed clean, you really don’t know what to make of it... but you have fun trying to work it out. . . #NotAnAd #fumepic #perfumepic (at Europe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJiitCjBunw/?igshid=kpf0hb41x8fb

Here it is: my final review of the year. État Libre D’Orange #ExitTheKing composed by #RalfSchwieger and #CecileMatton. . . “If the length of time it takes to figure out a perfume is directly proportional to its quality, then Etat Libre D’Orange Exit The King needs to be on everybody’s must-try list. I’ve now spent several days with it, and whenever I’ve felt myself veering towards relegating it to that vast category of scents labelled ‘pleasant but forgettable’, something has caused me to pause and reconsider. To be precise: I can’t decide whether, at its core, it is profoundly trashy, or, if you’ll forgive the facetiousness, it’s trashily profound.” — To read the rest, see link in bio. . .
