About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

The King by Etat Libre d'Orange is a 2020 unisex chypre floral that opens with an unusual, almost retro burst of soap, aldehydes, and musk, sharpened by pink pepper and timur. This top accord gives a clean, slightly spicy lift before the heart unfolds into a classic white floral bouquet of rose, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. The base grounds the composition with moss, patchouli, ambroxan, and sandalwood, lending a woody, earthy depth that lingers.

Collectors who appreciate soapy, aldehydic florals with a chypre backbone will find this compelling. It suits those who enjoy vintage-style elegance with a modern twist, and its unisex character makes it versatile for day or evening. The prominent soapy and white floral accords (100% and 77% respectively) dominate, so it's best for someone who loves a clean, floral musk profile with a mossy finish. Ideal for spring and summer, or anytime you want a refined, slightly nostalgic scent.

中文簡介

Etat Libre d'Orange 嘅 The King(2020)係一款中性西普花香調。前調以皂感、醛、麝香為主,加上粉紅胡椒同蒂姆,散發乾淨又帶微辛嘅開場。中調係經典白花組合:玫瑰、茉莉同鈴蘭,優雅細緻。基調用苔蘚、廣藿香、降龍涎香醚同檀香木,帶來木質泥土感,留香持久。

呢支香水適合鍾意復古皂感花香、又想要西普底蘊嘅收藏家。佢嘅皂感同白花比例高(分別100%同77%),所以最啱喜歡乾淨花香麝香、帶苔蘚收尾嘅人。中性氣質,日常或晚間都用得,春夏尤其適合。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
