Remarkable People

That is exactly how bright utopian future of all civilized mankind would probably smell like. I kid you not guys. What makes this perfume really different is that I cannot recognize any exact or even distinctive connection to any familiar component, still it smells essentially natural and very well corresponding with advanced human societies. So if there is a limitation for me to carry only one perfume to my luxurious spaceship cabin... and there is no guarantee to come back... Then I am taking this frag to be always delighted with what we yet to achieve instead of having destructive nostalgias of what we lose. Perhaps I am that much an exalter after receiving a dozen of earnest compliments from different people of different ages and agendas. Btw no single person tried to guess notes. Well, my ex-wife told me that it reminds her of well-know Nina Ricci perfume, but she didn't recall which exact one. Others I meet are usually just happy to mention that I smell good and new. Unfortunately, this scientific juice of glory disappears as if never existed on the third hour both from the skin and from the hair. Anyhow, two hours is usually quite a long period to conquer any type of audience. Overall, this perfume is super social and shiny, moderately intense. It radiates with a very remarkable and positive vibe. Not my signature scent just because I am not always social, still quite an earthy person. :) Music: Jeux D'Eau by Maurice Ravel Book: Men Like Gods by H.G.Wells Movie: The Fifth Element by Luc Besson Painting: For Sale by Robin F Williams

I really like this fragrance! I don't like much that Etat Libre put out to be honest with you, but this is certainly an exception. There is something to this particular fragrance that makes me keep coming back to it, and I intend to by a full bottle one day (Time will tell, it's been three years since I started saying that lol) On paper I really didn't find it to be particularly exciting, and found it to be rather plain. On skin it really takes on this effervescent quality with a lovely grapefruit. It is sweet, but not cloyingly so. This is not a fragrance I would usually like, but something about it's composition makes me like it. It's like a non-alcoholic champagne smell, sparkling and clean and very fruity. I really only wear this on New Years Eve, I have three little sample bottles. It's very pleasant and everyone that smells it seems to like it, or at least tolerate it. I think this is very nice, and I like this a lot. Get a sample of it for sure, you may really like it like I do. Or you may hate it, which is your prerogative. Overall, very nice. A little overpriced for sure, which is why I have been waiting for years to find it for a good price (I'm sure eventually it will be discontinued, and then I will be sad) but I like it. It is a little plain, but man it just makes me happy. Get a sample if you want to. If this was a song it'd be Ruby Sees All by Cake.

The ultimate fizzy, feel-good summer fragrance. Remarkable People was an instant favorite from the moment I first sprayed it. The opening is a fantastic, fizzy, and bubbly citrus experience that feels remarkably upbeat. It’s not just another citrus scent; there is a certain "sparkle" to the opening that really sets it apart. After wearing this properly on my skin, my rating remains a solid 10/10. It is a masterclass in joyful, outgoing summer perfumery. The champagne note is genuinely impressive—it provides a realistic, effervescent fizz that lifts the smooth grapefruit and cardamom notes perfectly. The background sweetness is perfectly dosed, which keeps the scent rounded and inviting without ever becoming cloying. If you’re looking for a scent for social events, celebrations, or just a day when you want to feel uplifted, this is an absolute go-to. It’s officially earned a permanent spot in my summer rotation. Note: I don't actually own this fragrance; I am writing this review based on my experience with the official Etat Libre d'Orange discovery set.

I love this scent -- LOVE. Firstly, it reminded me of the deodorant I used in high school -- Lynx Inca -- it doesn't just smell 'like' Inca, it IS Inca, at least to me. The messy champagne note, intermingling with the citrus and spice is AMAZING. Love it, absolutely LOVE IT. It works on SOOO many levels -- it's niche-ish summer scent, it works as a subtle mood enhancer (for me) and it works EXCELLENTLY as a bridge between designer/mainstream scents and niche scents. I bought my 3x 30 ml bottles from Lucky Scent, when I originally wanted a 100 ml bottle, which for some reason, was 20 - 30% more than the $ / ml valuation against the 30 ml bottles. Also, being only a 30 ml bottle (3 of them), I only had to pay 'sample' postage rates to Hong Kong (where I lived when I got them), saving myself EVEN more. Win-win. I've gone through one of those bottles already, and I'm putting a decent dint into the 2nd one this summer. I am so glad I found this scent -- I truly TRULY love it...

This fragrance is such a weird one for me. Let me explain how it ended up a love. I don't really understand what's going on with this frag, as when you read other people comments it sounds completely different every time. But for me I don't get any of that, I feel like I'm getting everything the note breakdown says to expect. The opening is amazing to me, the champagne and grapefruit is definitely right there, sparkling in the air, the cardamom right behind it. On dry down it sweetens up as the champagne fades and you start to get the spices and woods come through. Obviously, everybody's opinion is correct because perfume is a personal preference at the end of the day. That being said unfortunately the performance reviews are generally spot-on. I get about 5 hours and its an arms reach scent at best, but that won't be putting me off especially as I can get a full bottle for £50 or less. If you like how this sounds, get a sample, if you're anything like me you'll love it.
