  1. Magdalena Maria

    If you’ve heard of Hyssop, you’ll know this fragrance is a pure ode to it. I love that resin, which sometimes smells like smoked olive brine, though here it’s very direct and characterful. No frills, just Hyssop as it is: that’s the scent, full stop.

  2. Top fragrance. Hits hard at first, but once it dries down, the woody, smoky, incense side comes through; it smells very much like Palo Santo. For incense lovers, it’s love at first sight.

  3. Capitano Spavento

    The Marquis de Sade by ELd’O, like the one from Histoires de Parfums, revolves around Hyssop and that vintage resinous vibe. But Etat Libre d’Orange adds something vibrant and modern, like ambroxan, with a woody, earthy base that could be patchouli or elemi. The dry down recalls medicinal leather, like glue, which fades quickly. Then it becomes elegant, woody, and modern. The fact that they only list ‘Hyssop’ as a note adds mystery and appeal.

    Although they only list Hyssop, I also detect elemi and incense. Mostly elemi, even more than the Hyssop. It opens with a strong charge of elemi, smoky and dry, alongside a resinous Hyssop that at times smells like glue. The scent is quite linear, barely changing from start to finish, and personally, it bores me a bit. The performance is just about right as it clings to the skin quickly. That said, it seems to last well stuck to the skin for several hours. Overall, I haven’t liked it. I expected a different kind of fragrance, with more punch and nuances. There are many better and cheaper perfumes of this style on the market. For me, it’s a ‘meh’.
