Rien
Eau de Parfum
by Etat Libre d’Orange



The Scoop
As Etat Libre d’Orange’s olfactory exercise in Zen, Rien is nothing and everything, both sparse and full; a heady skin scent, a true paradox. As light and soft as cashmere, it envelops the skin with a subtle, powdery caress. As a your-skin-but-better type of scent, this elegant creation has a lingering sillage that is surprisingly spicy and rich. Aldehydes lend a sublime sparkle to the flowers, iris and rose. The tingling sensation is carried on by pepper and incense, which, in their turn, blend so well with the precious suppleness of the finest of leathers and the balsamic velvet of amber. An enigmatic, entrancing fragrance with an unforgettable imprint.

This is the rare thing of a skin scent that is incredibly soft but not shy. It's well defined ingredients have a clear voice together instead of a undecisive murmur. To thereby achieves such elegant softness and subtleness must be high art. Beautiful.

There was an initial blast of leather and pepper, which lead to a warm intoxicating incense. Great longevity and good sillage (apply sparingly!). Lovely!

Front page newsworthy fragrance. This was the most challenging fragrance I ever grew to love. At first all I got was rubbing alcohol and new, chemically leather belt. Then I got it: spicy, aldehydic opening, a bit of patchouli, oakmoss, dry leather. Wonderful stuff, lasts forever, and metamorphoses the entire wear. A gutsy lady may wear this, and I applaud you! But I'm clutching this to my chest as the new masculine chypre classic. I wear this when I want everything to go well and don't want to leave anything to chance...

Smelled like an old lady- really old. Awful.

I just put some on, and I'm trying to figure it out. I Love the incense and the florals, but it's reminding me a little too much of a scent from my grandmother's vanity table. I'll wear it out tonight, and see how it goes over in public.

There's SO much to like here--the myrrh and smoke and rose and aldehydes and sweet complication--and I found it very true from application through dry-down. What kills it for me is the scent of tar, a too-strong whiff of hot asphalt.

Like so many others, I threw caution to the wind and bought this beautiful fragrance. It is very intense indeed; not of frankincense, but the 'real' incense that burns on a stick. The lasting power is like 'Secretions Magnifiques' - until you wash it off. It's not easily liked by people who aren't parfumistas, as they find it too confronting. I love it very much, but as Robert White reviewed; it will last you years if stored well!

Only half of the little sample I got from Luckyscent lasted over 24 hours on me. I LOVE this stuff. It is loud, spicy, sweaty, and obnoxious...like me. The only other perfume I can honestly compare it to is Caron's Yatagan but this is in a class of it's own. I can't wait to order a bottle because I've calculated that one 50 ml bottle should last me about 30 years or the rest of my life, whichever comes first.

Very very medicinal on me -- almost akin to one of the nose-burning Montale frags (Musk to Musk, for example, which truly smells almost identical). I do catch an incensey undertone, which comes off like a slight "head shop" kind of scent. However, the dominant note here -- a note which, as far as I can tell, NEVER warms up to anything more welcoming -- is astringent, herbal medicine note.

I wasn't sure. I through care to the wind and bought and arrived today and I was so afraid..but I love it...it does smell as I read somewhere like an old fashioned fragrance but there is something that keeps making me smell my arm.

If you like the old-fashioned, classic perfumes, check this one out. Otherwise, don't. It is the strongest of their fragrances, despite its name
