The BEST & WORST Of "Etat Libre D'Orange" Fragrances 

One thing I'll always love eldo for is they genuinely seem to enjoy making fragrances, they don't always take things so seriously but always take care on what they produce 👏

The perfume got that name so that the person would reply “rien!” (“nothing!”) when asked what he/she is wearing. Clever!

That’s amazing! All 5 of my favorites were your 5 favorites and the 5 I liked less were the five you liked the least as well. I’m going to have to start binging your reviews since we apparently have similar tastes. Great video

Yay! I'm quite confused about this house, so I'm VERY glad you decided to do this. Thank you!

Cool pondering. Been tuning in and out for years and so glad to see you are still producing material and keeping it simple but yet authentic, true and genuine. Great taste, Rien and Hermann my two favs! Keep at it if you can.

Thank you. I still love Divin'Enfant the most since I discovered it on 2010. Just recently purchased another bottle to treat myself on a special occasion (my old style bottle has about 10ml left or less). That said, I haven't tried many ELDO since 2012-14, and have thus missed out on the latest, including all your 5 favorites in here. Nice to spark my curiosity! Be well.

Thank you for this! I've been wanting to hear more about this brand. I own Putain des Palaces and love love love it.

The concepts, stories and ideas behind the brand are so creative and unique but the bottles make me think of a group of boys on a lad's holiday- that logo is very 90's man.

I have been wanting to get into exploring that house and the video helps out a lot. Many thanks!!

Remarkable People smells just like a gel air freshener that my aunt used to use at Christmas. I had trouble putting my finger on it but now that I've realized I'm very tempted to buy bc I miss her and it is a nice way to spark some memories. At the same time I feel a bit silly spending $100 on a scent that I'm sure she bought at Dollar Tree. LOL.

i tried a sample of "she was an anomaly" and i became addicted. i love it so much.

I have never smelled anything from Etat Libre D'Orange, so I loved hearing you talk about some of them, thank you :) Btw, when you get tired of your sweater, do not throw it out, send it to a poor student - as in me :D

Having about a dozen or more Etat’s I would have to agree with your assessment with Marquis De Sade being one of my favorites although I find something about Charogne highly addictive and for some reason cannot get enough of it. Cheers

ELDO is probably my favorite brand. My favorites are Like This, Putain des Palaces, Jasmin et Cigarette and Cologne, but I want to try absolutely everything. Even the ones I don't like, I typically still respect where they're coming from. I do agree though, some of the newer releases have a much stronger concept than the actual scent, which is too bad. But at least they're trying new things!

You mean to tell me Yes I Do is about SWALLOWING?! 💀

A love Une Amourette and Bijou Romantique so much and Divin'enfant too. So unique.

Remarkable People is not remarkable at all, you are right. It gave me a plasticky feel. True Lust on the other hand is really nice, powdery, floral, slightly boozy fragrance but I totally understand that you rate it low because of laziness. I tried it and bought a tester bottle before I had ever tried Putain de Palace or Dangerous Simplicity. So it was new to me! I have considered getting rid of it because of not interesting enough, but then I always realise how much I like the rice powder in there.

Just blind bought Fat Electrictrian your thoughts on this frag. Great insightful review on this house👍🏽

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this house. I need to check out more from this house! I first tried Secretions Magnifiques on skin and went out in public (like an idiot) and I was mortified. I have also tried Eau de Protection, which i enjoyed.

Nice one - for your honest reviews on the range of fragrances. Thank you.

I just picked up Attaquer le Soleil recently and my gawd its amazing, I've been trying to find 500 years to try but its just not easy to find in my neck of the world.

Rien is a masterpiece. Probably my favourite Etat Libre d'orange fragrance. I also really like Fat electrician!

Great reviews! I’m enjoying Divin Enfant and also Fat Electrician . I agree with most of your thoughts on these. 😊

i’ve only sniffed two from this house, being jasmin et cigarette and afternoon of a faun and i actually liked both! i prefer jasmin et cigarette as it’s quite a good juxtapose of notes. Afternoon of a faun is great it just isn’t wearable in my opinion. it smells like a log cabin that has sat all winter up here in northern minnesota haha.

Love this house! Thanks for highlighting it.

So far my favorite from this line; Like This, and Dangerous Complicity. Putain de Palaces I like as well.

Love the brand, have several bottles, Hermann was love at first sniff for me. 🖤

I got Herman as you call it lol after watching your review a while back,got a great deal on ebay £35 brand new sealed,it was the starting bid,nobody else bid so i won,i love it!!

Just Purchased Soul of my Soul Amber ELDO and I love the composition and contrast from opening to drydown

Absolutely agree about "Yes I Do." It is incredibly pedestrian, not even an introductory scent for niche scents, much less the House of ELD. I still love Tom of Finland, I still love Secretions, and I still love Fat Electrician. On my to buy list is Eau de Protection. I LOVE rose mixed with sharper fragrances. Thanks for the reviews!!

Of the ones I've tried, I would agree completely with your reviews. I actually do own a couple that you don't like as much, and you are spot on with your descriptions of them. I'm still looking for my perfect ELDO scent, one that lasts (which most of them don't) yet is still edgy and beautiful. Thank you, Thomas!

I also like a perfume that portrays the color black, like for instance Aromatics in Black by Clinique but I doubt Rein smells similar to that. Interesting line!

I'm currently wearing remarkable people.... I agree

My partner wears Hermann a mes Coates and I rather adore Une Amourette - i find they share a similar DNA. I am a fan of ambraxan however, I do also enjoy JHAG "Not a perfume" for the same reason (cetalox in this case). All three are signature scents in my house. ;) Regards!

Great best & worst picks! I've recently ordered their discovery kit and one of their new ones called Spice Must Flow just blew me away. One of the best roses I've ever tried! You should definitely get your nose on that one :)

Remarable people and you and someone like you are my favorites

Thank you. You may have just saved me from some disappointing blind buys. Great video!

Very close to making Hermann my signature scent. I just find myself loving when I catch a whiff of it as I stroll around. It's interesting that they portray it is such a dark fragrance, as the opening is in my opinion very bright and orangey (which I love). I think it must be the geosmin that adds the really nice dampness/darkness to the perfume? Either way, I'm a huge fan. Awesome vid as well!

Didn’t know “that” was the idea behind Yes I Do 😅

lots of knowledge.. Keep up the good work...

Thanks for the interesting video, as always ❤️

“Yes I Do “. is definitely not a generic floral to me … it was a absolute love st first sniff Its very much on par with Diors Diorissimo … a lovely feminine, easy to wear fragrance Especially suited to spring or summer… not great staying power like Diorissimo but no Lily of the valley are

The best thing about Eau de Protection is that it was inspired by Rossy de Palma

Marquis de Sade is beautiful. True Lust is one of my all time faves but I do like Putain too (pun intended)...

Great video Thomas ! I only have True Lust ( red bottle) and I wear it to sleep 😴💤 because it doesn’t perform 😢 no projection on my skin, none , cero, I am not happy at all , to expensive to wear just for that. I cannot smell it after 30 min .... it’s totally an extremely soft smell of clean sweat and baby powder on my skin 😒

Hermann and Experimentum Crucis are my favorites. I do like I Am Trash, as well. It does last longer on my skin.

Could you recommend four ELDO Dominatrix perfumes :) Have you smelled Miss AP from Agent Provocateur? What are your thoughts?

I'm surprised on mention was made of "Cologne"

Thanks for this! Rien is something else, isn't it?! One of these frags I adore, yet almost never find the right moment to wear...

I haven’t tried too many but of the few I’ve tried I love protection and Herman, and Like you ain’t bad (just a tad too sweet in the dry down for me) and weak performance

Rien, always Rien!!! I will buy Marquis de Sade because it’s your number two in the list! 👍😃😉

Listen to your channel, as you say it as it is, nice.

The only ELDO I’ve tried as of yet is Vrai Blonde and I quite enjoyed it although it had no lasting power. I’m really wanting to try more

Eau de protection is one of the best ROSE perfumes EVER.

Antoine Lie states Rien is the most expensive formula within ELDO's catalog. 🥰

Brilliant! Thank you!

Having just ONE fragrance - it would have to be Hemann ect ect....... performance and longevity, IS a major swing into a yes.

I just got my sample set today! but i didnt have a few of the perfumes you said. thank god i had the experitentum, but I actually got the Rien Intense instead of the original :/ way too strong on the incense.thats the point, obviously, but it smelled like an expired old lady perfume i found at a thrift store and decided to smell

you are fantastic. I have bought because of your videos

I love she was an anomaly. I just blind-bought You or someone like you, never tried it before :)

Just got Jasmin & Cigarette. It doesn’t last!

One of my favorite frag lines

Rien smells EXACTLY like an incense I have burned called Vampire Blood. So if you want your house to smell like rien, try it out

I only have You or Someone Like You in the 30 ml. I like it . I'll have to sample Rein and Experimental.

I love your content btw I'm like the 3rd or 4th comment 😭

enjoyed I will have to try

These are so hard to source in Australia now. Just a limited range here. Sigh... Sephora had a few of them, but they didn't sell. Now, we are blasted with countless bottles of all Diors released since 2010. Zzzz.

Your audio is grating. Use a pop filter, noise suppression, and knock your high end down.

I got a sample of Rien and oh my goodness I love it, just my kind of weirdness. I went and bought a full bottle. I feel drawn to this one . I too can’t wear it every day but when I do, I have to keep smelling it to try and understand it, I do love it.

Does this brand have good longevity? Sillage?

I wanted to know what like this smells like

All I get from Rien is aldehydes on steriods. No leather. No incense. An awful, one dimensional scent that takes me back to my high school biology class when we were dissecting frogs. The emperor's new fragrance.

my favorite is Jasmin et Cigarette

man looks like he could smell my fear

Remarcebl ppl is inspired by josephine baker

remarkable people and I am trash on the least favorite list... 🤔

Fils De Dieu is sick 😀

Keep the Background real bro.

All their perfumes smell of strong incense and old urine..I got the sample set. I only "liked" 6 out of the 20. And love none of them. This brand is great for old lady perfumes.
