With a name like that, you’d expect the provocateurs over at État Libre d’Orange to come up with a pretty steamy concept. In fact, it simply refers to the address of the brand’s flagship store in the Parisian quarter of the Marais, 69 rue des Archives.
If Archives 69, which is intended to become État Libre d’Orange’s “institutional” scent, lives up to its name it is because like the number 69, it can swing one way or another, starting out with a feminine blend of mandarin, prune, aldehydes and musk bathed in the cool, shimmering vanilla accents of the orchid – an accord reproduced through Mane’s patented Jungle Essence technology. But just as you expect this to be one of Christine Nagel’s trademark musky feminines à la Narciso Rodriguez for Her, an intriguing blend of camphor, patchouli and incense, barely softened by the balsamic facets of benzoin, pulls Archives 69 into a twilight zone of surprisingly airy woody notes. Sexy, a little mystical, a like its namesake number, capable of lending itself to any combination of genders.
