Scent Bar Staff Video Review for Tilda Swinton Like This

Video Transcript

Like This by Etat Libre d'Orange, available at Luckyscent.com, is a perfume inspired by the personality and upbringing of the woman who collaborated on it — growing up in the Scottish Highlands. She draws from various references from her youth as inspiration for the scent.

One of the elements she mentioned is greenhouses, which brings in floral and green notes like flowers and grass. The base features a lovely vetiver that adds an earthy grassiness. The fragrance contains soft floral notes, including a subtle touch of Rose de Mai — though it’s not a rose perfume per se. There’s also an Immortelle note, which has a slightly maple syrupy scent, adding a bit of sweetness. This pairs beautifully with a ginger note, which adds a spicy bite. The ginger underpins much of the scent's appeal, as ginger is not commonly smelled in many perfumes.

Additionally, there is a hint of pumpkin, which is quite unique. The pumpkin note is not like a full-on pumpkin pie or anything overly sweet or gourmand, but it introduces a gourmand touch that complements the spice notes of the ginger and the syrupy sweetness of the Immortelle. These rich, warm tones are balanced by clean and soft floral notes, as well as an incredible white musk that emerges in the dry down, giving the fragrance a clean, musky skin scent.

Wearing Like This feels very unique, and in the reviewer's opinion, it doesn’t smell like anything else. It is perfect for fall — especially October and November — since it feels cozy and warm. However, the floral freshness also makes it work great in spring and summer, preventing it from becoming too heavy or cloying.

The title Like This references a couple of different sources: Alice in Wonderland, and a beautiful poem by Rumi. The reviewer wishes they had the poem memorized but encourages looking it up for those interested. For those familiar with Rumi, the scent can be appreciated on a deeper level.

The fragrance is pretty

Smells like a sunrise on the beach. Absolutely irresistible.

More floral and powder on the drydown than I anticipated considering the ginger and imortelle listed in the notes. The pumpkin accord does not stick around for long and the mandarin smells more prominent when first applied. Still feels like a fall floral but not quite the spiced floral I was wanting. Wears for quite a few hours without need of reapplication, has good sillage with about 2-3 sprays.

I sure do. An autumn gourmand that dodges the usual vanilla in favor of the likewise woody and mouth-filling aspects of pumpkin, that’s right pumpkin. The orange zest brightens and lifts the first notes until you’ve wrapped your head around what’s happening here, and then the entire enterprise modulates into a powdery-sweet but not at all cloying drydown, suffused with fresh marine air and greenery and just a bit of rose (not white, might be yellow). Throw your femme-masc preconceptions into the trash and get on this fragrance’s level.

It's a bit spicy but not a strong spice, then some sweetness develops. A bit of a candy pumpkin scent. If you like pumpkin spice (even if you're low key about it) you'll probably like this.

Love this stuff, I’m glad the scent worked on me!

This is an amazing fragrance. When I first got it, I thought it to be a like a favorite fruit, but then the dry down. One of my friends said How does it smell. I put out my wrist and said "like This" a great name and a great fragrance. Try it, you will love it! Cheers!

I so did NOT expect to like this. The notes made no sense to me. At all. I am eating crow. It's lovely!!! This is going on my full-size list. On me it's an all-appropriate subdued floral. Mind you, I'm a leather person. These flowers are just a touch naughty. Though a very solid standalone, I think it would lend itself to seamless layering with other scents if that's your thing (I seldom do).

I tried a sample of this. At first I had trouble figuring out whether I liked it--the scent is so changeable on me, so deep, so layered. My go to has always been Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan, and Like This isn't like that. But after I ran out of the sample, liking it more and more each time I wore it, I found that I actually missed it, wanted it, needed to have it, to wear it whenever I want. So I ordered a bottle...Like This is the real thing, the one I want to wrap myself in when I come home. (Don't worry, Ambre Sultan, I still love you, too.)

green sap, smoke, ash temper the round soft florals and sharp ginger. finally, a green i can wear without going sour or developing that acrid note. trace of something airy or minty. considering the negative reviews, this elegant skin scent is a wonderful surprise.

Oh what a shame! I love Tilda Swinton and I really wanted to like this. The other reviewer nailed it - Yankee Candle 100%. I don't find this to be well-blended at all. Even if I can't wear a scent, I like to appreciate it. This one smells supremely unnatural, chemical laden, sticky, too sweet yet bitter at the same time. Also? Boring. This next statement is really a bit of overkill because I'm not *so* offended by it, but a good description would be city trash on a hot day. That sort of sickly sweet decomposing organic smell. A rotting fruit on the counter combined with cheap cherry lip balm. ..... heading to wash it off posthaste!

Butterscotch and teak. Warm and comforting. Reminds me of a Yankee candle, in a good way. Smells nice, but not something I would like to wear.
By   - Assistant from Queens on 4/22/2013
Candied ginger in syrup, kept from being too sweet by a nicely balanced, dry note of immortelle, & some sandalwood & vetiver in the base. This comforting fragrance perfectly matches the flavours & hues of autumn, & is also rather Christmassy. lt reminds me of Lush's Ginger with the volume turned down.

I really liked this, from its bright, minty/citric opening, through its yummy, sugary middle, down to its warm, powdery base. This is very unusual; I've really never smelled anything like it. I experience it as a kind of floral/gourmand, bright and warm simultaneously.
By   - College Counselor from Chattanooga on 11/13/2012
Whoa! I'm in love. I was not expecting this much love. I am a gourmand fan. It's comfort and familiar to me. I think I'll wear it more at the office and on the weekend. I would like something a little stronger for the evening. I'm purchasing a bottle.
By   - Legal Assistant from Midwest on 10/16/2012
Yes! This is is just right - and just as promised. Perfect for me who has scandinavian fair skin and is blond. Crisp, fresh but also has those deep notes that makes it seductive and interesting. It is actually just like Tilda Swinton! I will wear it for daytime.
By   - lawyer from Oslo on 10/11/2012
This fragrance is boggling my mind, I can't actually figure out what I'm smelling. I sort of smelled on the initial application a "snowy" scent, fresh, crisp, then a little citrus, and the ginger lingered for a mere moment and now after about 5 minutes it's very strongly floral with musk. Not terrible, but I'm not in love either. I love Tilda Swinton and wanted to love this, but alas.

Oh, I wanted to like this so badly but - yuck. Reminds me of something old and musty.
By   - from New Orleans, LA on 2/25/2012
I see Like This as being gourmand only when you analyze and break down its ingredients one by one, but if you take a step back and experience it as a whole it's an overwhelmingly human scent. It evokes memories of old crushes. And despite Tilda Swinton's gender bending qualities, I find this to be a very feminine scent, to be worn by someone very sweet. I'd buy this for myself just to sniff, but I'd fall head over heels if I smelled it on someone else.
By   - from Los Angeles on 12/30/2011
I was tempted to sample Like This, because other people thought it had gourmand notes. Alas, not on me. For me it's a kind-of-nice Rose scent with an awfully yucky undertow that I can't quite define. Is it sweaty leather on old gym furniture? A green note, similar to the plant-like overtone in Gordon's Dry Gin? Greased metal?
