Wearing Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre D'Orange

Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre D'OrangeEtat Libre D'OrangeJasmin et Cigarette3.6150 ratings

This is the lightest and I think least complicated Eldo fragrance I have tried. It's pulling me back to childhood in my moms garden, through the mini mazes of stepping stones, disassembling flowers bit by bit to use for various games. That fresh green but also yellow somehow? Almost like a dandelion but that isn't it exactly either, the smell of not just crushed stem but petals and all, it must be their galbanum and I love it. Dry down brings the jasmine forward more and it's a lovely jasmine - almost sharp but also sweet. The tonka bean is pretty hidden to me, I'm okay with that honestly.

It's pretty light, I do wish it had more punch to it as it is lovely or maybe I'm just wishing to be suffocated by nostalgia.

Faded super quick, never detected by my husband's super sniffer and I over sprayed so I would not full bottle this for this reason alone. But I will use up this sample for sure

    No way 😔 I was expecting something else i been dying to smell this

      It is definitely not what I was expecting based on description and also the US Eldo website doesn't list galbanum at all. I expected a more deep almost smokey, resinous and sexy jasmine

      I literally expected to smell a jasmine floral with the note of smoke ash cigarette... Damn it would have smelled like the 80s for me like a kid again lol 🤣
