To me, it’s very unisex. Although marketed as feminine, the skin, amber, and ginger give the violet an intense, spicy, and rough character, perfect for men or women if you like powdery, sweet florals. The effect recalls Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle, where the rose becomes masculine with patchouli and incense, though here the intensity isn’t comparable. PDP starts intense and fades quickly to close to the skin, like other ELDO releases. The longevity is good (7-9 hours), but the projection is moderate and soft after the first hour. Although the scent is intense, it’s not invasive; it’s for personal enjoyment. Very versatile for daily wear or warm evenings/nights. Despite its performance, it’s one of my favourites from the brand. Scent: 8.5, Longevity: 8, Projection: 6, Value for money: 6, Versatility: 8, Originality: 8, Overall: 8.5.
To me, it’s pure unisex. Although it says feminine, the skin, amber, and ginger give the violet (nuanced by pink) a spicy, rugged character that makes it perfect for men or women if you like powdery, sweet florals. It reminds me of Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle, where the rose becomes masculine with patchouli and incense, though here the intensity isn’t comparable. PDP starts strong but drops quickly to skin level, like other ELDO scents. It lasts 7-9 hours, but the projection is moderate and soft after the first hour. It’s intense but not invasive, ideal for personal use. Versatile for day or warm evenings. It’s one of my favourites from the brand!

This perfume changes drastically depending on the weather. Some days it smells powdery and subtle; others very strong and animal, like fluid makeup or sex in a car. On those days, I prefer not to wear it; I like its softer side. I wonder if others experience this with such a chameleon perfume, because every time I review it, they delete it!
This perfume is totally chameleon-like: it depends on the weather. Sometimes it smells powdery and subtle, like compact powder, and other times it becomes intense and animalistic, reminiscent of fluid makeup and leather that screams ‘sex’, as if you’d just rolled in the car with your partner. On days it smells like that, I prefer not to wear it; I like its softer side better. I wonder if others experience the same, because every time I review it, the comment gets deleted.
In love with this fragrance. The opening is powdery; you feel the violet with a sweet base, but not baby powder, rather feminine talc. It’s dry sweet, without being cloying. You can detect the amber and leather, which accompany the flowers without making it dark, just more intense. The rose is present but not the star. The longevity is potent at first, projecting for an hour, then close to the skin for 4 or 5 hours. It doesn’t matter; I want my nose stuck to my wrist.
I love this fragrance. The opening is talcum-like with violet and a sweet base, but it’s not baby powder; it’s feminine talcum. It’s sweet but dry, without being cloying. You can smell the amber and leather, which accompany the flowers without making it dark, just a bit more intense. The rose is there but isn’t the star. The opening is potent, projecting for only an hour, but on the skin close to the wrist, I feel it for 4 or 5 hours. It doesn’t matter anyway because I want my nose right up against my wrist when I wear it.
Expect something more animal and suggestive. It’s seductive, feminine, and elegant. The dry down is potent but fades quickly, sitting close to the skin. You can detect the talc, the violet, and a touch of leather. I’d like to feel that intense, sexual side they talk about, but I found it soft and feminine. It’s pleasant but doesn’t convince me.
Musky, powdery, linear, and avant-garde. It’s briny, spicy, and savoury without being gourmand. To me, it’s a true Montevideo exudate. Etat Libre d’Orange has the style to distance itself from the ordinary: it’s medieval, mixing bodily humour and axillary secretions with essences, as if some courtesan secreted it on cold European nights. It’s sweet, an experience I loved (obviously for smelling on someone else).
After one of ELDO’s disappointments, Putain des Palaces saves the day. This is what I think when someone says it smells like talcum: it’s a vintage talcum scent that evolves with the skin, sometimes dry, other times creamy. The leather gives body and darkness to something innocent and lovely, but for me, the vintage aspect wins. The talcum dominates from the opening to the dry down. I imagine a baroque moment where courtesans dusted talcum on their bodies and wigs to achieve that image of pale skin and red lips.
After another disappointing powdery release from ELDO, Putain des Palaces saves the day. This is what I think when someone says they smell like baby powder. A vintage powder that changes with the skin, sometimes dry, sometimes syrupy. The leather gives body and darkness to something innocent and pretty, but vintage innocence wins. The talc always predominates, transporting us to baroque courtesans dusting themselves to look white and powdery with red lips.
I love powdery perfumes and this is one of my favourites. I detect rose, violet, and a spicy note like cinnamon (perhaps it’s the ginger). The name evokes courtesans of Versailles with powdered wigs and heavy makeup. Imagine that era: it’s a tender, feminine powdery floral.
Markedly musky and powdery: it starts as baby powder and evolves into makeup, very different from paper. It’s a classic floral powder of rose and iris, sweet but not gourmand. The dry down features mandarin, ginger, and raspberry, though barely noticeable on me; it’s pure sweetness. It fits the brand’s pastel sensuality; it’s not the fierce red or sexualised scent they claim, perhaps lacking an animalic note.
A perfect powder-room scent: modern, powdery, and effervescent. To some it’s an innocent floral; to others, it has an indolic fizz that reminds me of a wealthy woman with champagne on a leopard-print velvet settee, 1990s style. Don’t buy blindly: the ELDO stamp is in full glory and the leather is quite animalistic.
I love how this unfolds: an unspun iris that the leather keeps fresh, with a lovely touch of violet. As it dries down, it loses that soiled intensity and becomes sweeter and more classically talcum-powdered. Ideal if you love iris but don’t want to go full goth; for me, not being an iris fan, it doesn’t quite take my heart.
Brutal. I wore it today and it’s one of the most feminine perfumes I’ve tried; zero masculinity. There are fresh or sweet florals I see on men, but not this one. It evokes pure femininity, balanced: neither innocent-youthful nor vintage-ladylike, nor too light nor too dark. It’s like a de-fatted 0% Francesca Bianchi. Although culturally the line between masculine and feminine is blurring and what’s feminine to me might be to another, it’s easy to wear and versatile; I doubt it would clash. Pity the name; it would be perfect to gift to a woman, but it sounds complicated and doesn’t seem sexual to me, just having a balanced animal touch. The name is a commercial gesture that undermines the perfume, but I understand it given the brand. If you find it too intense, try Narciso Rodríguez; if it’s too soft, try Francesca Bianchi. Special mention to Infusion d’Iris by Prada.
Brutal. I’m wearing it today and, in my opinion, it’s one of the most feminine perfumes I’ve tried; it evokes absolutely no masculinity, zero. There are many feminine fragrances I can imagine a man wearing: fresh florals, sweet scents, ylang-ylang, perhaps neroli, but this? No, I simply cannot see this one on a man. To me, it evokes femininity in every aspect, with wonderful balance—not too youthful and innocent, nor too vintage and matronly, neither too light nor too dark; simply pure femininity. It’s like a Francesca Bianchi scent, but light, skimmed of all fat. Returning to the concept of femininity, while I believe there is a clear spiritual difference between the masculine and the feminine, culturally the lines are increasingly blurred. With the current trend towards neutral grey, what is feminine to me might seem like ‘alpha male’ to another, or vice versa (I’ve given up on that nonsense). Nevertheless, it’s a very easy perfume to wear and quite versatile; I doubt it would clash in any context or annoy anyone; quite the opposite. A pity about the name, as it would be a perfect gift for a woman, but with such a complicated name, personally, it has never seemed sexual to me. It does have an animalic touch, but it’s so well-balanced that it’s difficult for it to be off-putting. To me, the name is just a commercial gesture that undermines the perfume, but given the brand’s general tone, I understand it. If you love this perfume but find it too intense, try Narciso Rodriguez; if it feels too soft, look at Francesca Bianchi’s range; special mention to Prada’s Infusion d’Iris.
It is elegance, royalty. Yes, exactly as I imagine a queen must smell.
The name of this perfume feels incredibly apt to me; I can picture a noblewoman from 1770 welcoming guests into her boudoir while her maid dusts her face and hair. I detect no leather or florals, only notes of talc and white musk. It’s relatively unisex, leaning slightly towards the feminine. While it doesn’t resemble Alyssa Ashley’s Musk much, I’d place it in the same category as vintage musks with a light floral touch. The projection is soft, but the longevity is excellent; I applied it at 8 am and could still smell it close to my skin by 7 pm, with occasional scent bursts reaching out.
It clashes at first but then pleases. I mean you have the violets (and it gives me vibes of iris too, even though it’s not declared) with that airy Versailles touch of fine and elegant talc, but mixed with a marked, animalic leather. It’s like you’d imagine a court lady would smell after returning from a horseback ride all morning. Certainly, that contrast doesn’t make it feel vintage at all. At least on my skin, after three hours there was hardly any trace of the leather left and it turned into a floral musk with an amber base. It was a blind buy and I’m very glad I took the risk with the 100 ml bottle.
‘Dusty’ fragrance. I’m naturally referring to the powders used in the courts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, which I believe were mainly rice powders. I’m not quite sure now when exactly they started perfuming those powders with iris, violet or other floral scents. It’s natural to think that in this fragrance the violet note helps create that makeup powder scent. ‘Putain des Palaces’ seemed more like a statement to the general public than a true fragrance that could take the wearer on the olfactory experience of a Versailles courtesan. It is well known that those ladies possessed rather more ‘carnal’ scents beneath the layers of perfume and clothing (which were sometimes changed several times a day, with limited hygiene). Here the leather note fulfils that function, but even though it is somewhat animalic, I find it lacking in punch. It’s not bad, perhaps it brings the product closer to a wider market. The result seems quite feminine and more suited to a rather naughty good girl. Projection and longevity are good and the price is appropriate for the product. Recommended to test, but it won’t challenge the user too much.
To me, it smells just like baby doll heads, with a latex/plastic base that, combined with the other notes, brings that exact memory to mind.
I’ve known this brand for ages, but only recently decided to buy some of their fragrances. As other reviews say, it’s a powdery scent with animalic notes, but very, very soft… so soft that I have to keep sniffing my wrist after spraying it. I have a particular fondness for this kind of aroma and own many powdery perfumes such as Angel’s Dust, Jardins d’Armide, Lipstick Rose, etc., but the potency of these scents is worlds away from this one. Given that some reviews describe it as quite intense, the logical conclusion is that we’re not smelling the same perfume. The only way to describe it is as a powdery skin scent with a barely perceptible animalic note. On my skin, it projects almost nothing and doesn’t last.
Reminds me very much of Francesca Bianchi’s Angel’s Dust, a powdery iris like old lipstick. I adore perfumes like this and would love to add it to my collection when I can. This time, I find it very feminine. The name certainly lives up to it, hee hee hee.
I bought this perfume blind, drawn in by the eccentricity of the name and concept. It wasn’t a mistake to purchase it, but I don’t love it 100% in all its stages, so I won’t be adding it to my collection again. However, in a way, it is addictive, especially after the first hour. Upon application, if I didn’t know the notes, I’d say it has a very predominant neroli, smoky, ashy and spicy (I suppose it’s the ginger) which drowns out the other notes of iris, violet, talc and musk that try to emerge but fail to do so. This neroli recreates an equine leather, animalistic. For me, in this initial phase, the scent is a bit overwhelming, despite the cold autumn we’re having. Gradually, that note fades in intensity and blends with the rest. Over time, the talc, iris, violet and musk notes shine through very beautifully, slightly sweet. The animal notes no longer appear. In this phase, it reminds me a lot of makeup powder and high-end lipsticks from the 90s. I detect some plasticky notes, but the final aromatic blend is much to my liking. I think although it lasts more than 10 hours, it has poor projection.
The name promises much, but the reality is a different story. It begins with a 1990s perfume vibe, the sort of thing kept on the lower shelves of Perfumerías Mariloli as if they were dusty treasures. Suddenly, a slightly sweaty scent with a cumin trail emerges (I suppose it’s the musk and leather, akin to suede). Then, it overwhelms in stumbles with a coy, flat touch of talc, backed by that animalistic growl. Yes, I think it aims to evoke a petite courtesan, fresh from raiding the larder and slipping in among giggles into the king’s bedroom. The talc is pleasant, but that sweaty cumin note, reminiscent of toasted cumin over food, causes a slight discomfort. In the end, it dries down to clean, talc-only. I wouldn’t call it elegant, nor vulgar, and for this house, it is one of the more conventional.
