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.

When I was a child, there was a tiny bottle of Nina Ricci Les Belles - Délice d'Épices lying around at home. I kept smelling it all the time—the fragrance was magical, and so was the bottle. For years I searched for what it might have been, until I stumbled upon Remarkable People, which most people compared it to. That’s how I finally tracked it down, but since it hasn’t been produced for years, I couldn’t smell it again. So I rushed to test Remarkable People, and after half an hour or so it really does bear an uncanny resemblance to the scent I remember (not by chance, since both were created by Cécile Matton). But I already love it from the very first spray: the sparkling champagne opening is exciting and chic. I know very few fragrances that feel just as perfect on a buzzing, adventurous summer night out as they do on a quiet, introspective rainy afternoon. For me, this perfume is exactly that.✨ On my skin it lasts well, though it stays closer to the skin.

You can find it at some great prices online at discounters , i did , i was curious about the champagne note and what a nice surprise , it became one of the best "feel good" fragrances i have , it has a strange effect on me especialy if its mildly hot outside , it gives me a sense of refreshment but its not just like cold , its actually refreshing , like drinking something refreshing juicy with a little citrus and with a unique smell , its awesome , i wore a few times outside but never got that many attention , and still i dont care , the price its good enough to where you can wear this for yourself for mood and morale bosting and i still think its worth it , i recommend it a lot to those who are fans of fresh citruses , its a little twist that i think will be appreciated by many (if possible try before buying as always)

This is a weird one and I say it in a good way. I had to keep spraying my tester strip to really smell it. It’s actually really nice. It smells like if you just bought something brand new fresh? Kind of almost like fresh plastic but I’m not saying that in a bad way. lol it’s like the fragrance is there but it’s not there... it’s really airy fizzy and very slight touch of bitter citrus which I’m guessing is the champagne part of it ? Idk lol ... of course citrus is pretty much the main but the way it’s coming off is unique to me..As I’m typing this I’m smelling it and enjoying it more and more. I’m in a controlled temperature room with the AC on so I’ll have to see how it smells outside in the hot humid weather which honestly I’m sure is going to be really good.

I bought an official sample online without smelling it in person beforehand. After spraying, it smells strongly like grapefruit, but very little to no smell of champagne. Maybe because I don't know how champagne really smells like 👀. I let it sit for a bit, and after like maybe 5 minutes I smell it again and it smells like gingerbread! I asked my sister to smell it, she said it didn't smell like that, but it does to me. I searched it up, cardamom is used sometimes in gingerbread, so maybe it's the cardamom. Smells cozy tho, but the grapefruit smell doesn't last long. Maybe I'll change my mind after longer use.

A hot summer day, the air is standing still. Suddenly a breeze from the small lake separating small farmlands from the forest brings a cool refreshing facet to the landscape. On the same time I can hear soft, far away voices from a small beach between the reeds where people seek refuge from the busy city life. This is where Remarkable People takes me. The opening Champagne - grapefruit chord is to me so refreshing and so summery. Fortunately this chord is still mildly present in the dry down where Sandalwood and Labdanum embed it in a soft and warm woodiness. To me Remarkable People is summer at its best!

Oh my god, this is not at all what I was expecting, but I love it! I thought I'd be getting a bright, sparkling citrus, but this is a soft, comforting scent. It leans slightly masculine, but in the same way as Father Figure by Phlur, in that it smells like fond memories of a loved one. I do get the grapefruit, but it is not sharp or bitter, and blends beautifully with the warmer spices. It's cozy and fresh, just beautiful. If you're looking for a pronounced, feminine champagne note, check out Melrose Place by Ouai instead. Even if you're not a rose lover.

It IS a bit like Xerjoff's XV 1722, but I think this one is nicer! a bit less fizzy and less citrusy. Softer, rounder. Cardamom (my favorite note) is too weak here for my taste (as usual, in my experience), but definitely present, giving this a dessert-like aroma, like pastry or lokum (turkish delight) or oriental tea. Spicy and fresh. However, performance feels abysmal. Zero projection. What a shame. Like a great song you recognize comes on the radio, but the volume is set to 2 out of 50 and you can't turn it up because the radio is broken.

juicy and fresh grapefruit spiced with cardamom and sliced to be put upon the rims of sparkling champagne glasses during a spring brunch. Then comes in the aromatic black pepper with a piney green curry tree and light, airy jasmine. The dry down is an ambery sandalwood musk with fizzy and fresh remnants from the champagne. Really loved this one *after wearing a few times the projection is very close to skin and the longevity is 2-3 hrs which makes this feel incredibly overpriced. Lovely scent just bad performance.

Such a unique but comforting scent. I sprayed this 18 hours ago and theres still a trace of it on my skin. It's intriguing, attractive, and bright. I think it's better suited to a night out in early autumn than an everyday scent, but I wouldn't mind smelling this all day every day. To me the woody-amber-citrus stands out far more than warm spicy, which is definitely present in the top note but dissipates quickly. Very unisex, if i had to choose I think this would be best suited to a masc-leaning person of any age.

The champagne really does hit you. This fragrance is such a wonderful, sweet yet not too cloying summer go-to, and it’s a shame it doesn’t perform very nicely. It lasts okay, and it does elicit a good amount of compliments, but the sheer beauty of this perfume really does make it worth buying. The cardamom and grapefruit are so... for a lack of a better term, juicy together. They splash in your face and suddenly it’s the new year. Afterwards it’s nothing but sweet relaxation until it fades.

I expected to like this and i loved it! It has this kinda sharp cocktail quality in a great way, and very grapefruit forward which i like a lot, and it also adds to the cocktail vibes. This is a true unisex scent for almost every weather, and for celebrating something in a nice restaurant's bar, drinking a negroni and having a laugh with your friends, sharing nostalgic memories. I get why for some people it can be a little metallic or too mineral but for me this is perfect.

Oh my gosh this is SO GOOD! I only have a sample but I know I'll have to get the full bottle, now. There is no way back from this. I haven't smelled something this good in a long time. It is almost addicting I have to keep sniffing my wrist because I just can't get enough. Definitely not too long lasting which is a shame. But this gives pure joy, sun, celebration, good time ohhh just wonderful! I haven't been smitten with a fragrance like this in a looooong time.

My first niche perfume. I am on second bottle since I got it first 9 years ago. It was love on first sniff. Opens up with fresh, sparkling champange and grapefruit. Drydown on me it is cardamom, curry leaf and peppery sandalwood. Labdanum is very light in this composition. Refreshing spicy would be the better term to describe it instead of warm spicy. On me it actually lasts good 8h. I had 1 spray over 6hrs ago and I can still smell it full blast.

Sunny, bubbly fresh but warm scent that the cool outgoing girl sipping on Prosecco in a summer dress in an outside party would wear. Gorgeous, super wearable, might splurge on a full bottle. It's not the woody fragrance for wood lovers, but rather a fruity fragrance for wood lovers. The cardamom is very delicate here, you really smell the grapefruit and champagne at first sniff. The jasmin is fresh, and not indolent.

For the first 3 hours I was in love. Juicy grapefruit, the refreshing champagne, everything was just so so good and beautifully blended, it made me happy!. And then poof! It was all gone. Suuuuch a shame that it just doesn't last. I was ready to pull the trigger on a full bottle not even after a full day. If it wasn't on the pricier side, I may have done it anyway. Oh well, I will savor my sample at least.
