I simply love, love, love this perfume. In my Fragrantica review I said "...the leather note in Rien punches you in the stomach, knocking the wind out of you, while breathing new life into you with aldehydes". Was true then and is still true now. My bottle is rather vintage (c. 2009) but from what I have heard is that if it has been reformulated it's been done well-preserving all the sadistic charm and gothic elegance. Smell swell & be well! xox
Its crazy how something weird to some can be amazing to others. That's the art of perfumery. I have no experience with this house but I can see that changing in the near future. Great review!
Thanks, my friend. Definitely check some things out from ELdO. Be sure to try a good spread before you judge though. There's a few I don't care for at all, but a lot I really love. Thanks for watching
Rien 100 ml EDP € 119,00 in Holland. Appreciate your review about this Rien. And I always want to buy it after you review something. Your enthusiasm is contagious ;)
Excellent juice...just picked up a bottle after running through my decant...I really enjoy this house as well...strange and off the beaten path...Im all over that! lol Thank you sir for your review.
thk's dude for your review i was hesitant i have a bottle of je suis un homme , herman and your number 2 divin enfant im gonna get rien on my collection thk's again you did a really nice review on this one
I finally got a sample of this, mostly in response to your review. It is definitely a strange fragrance, but in a good way. I'm not sure that I pick up smoke, but I do get your friend's description of antiseptic spray. Adding the gauze to it is a pretty good description. It's not FB worthy to me, but it is a really fun perfume to dab on while I'm at home.
I also rate Rien, Divin Enfant and Eau de Protection among my top ELDO scents and also fat electrician, la fin du monde and dangerous complicity. Rien I nickname the rebel without a cause scent as it reminds me of something James Dean would have wore.
OMG! I’m listening to your description ...”take all that and burn it.”. Doesn’t sound appealing at all- I love your reviews. Mmmm burnt bandages ...sexy! lol
