The only ELdO fragrance I’ve tried is Like This, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me, although I will try it again and again.
I live in the US and you have my permission to use my email address.
Ooh, I really want this; I love Etat Libre d’Orange! The last ELdO I bought was “Like This”–which I have signed by Tilda Swinton herself! But the last ELdO I wore was “Rien” on Saturday night: it’s been a while since I’ve worn it, I almost forgot how gorgeous it is!
I’ve nevre tried any of Etat Libre d’Orange creations, but they souns wonderful. It’s impossible to find them here in Bazil. You have permission to use my email address. I’d like to much to know any of their fragrances.
I tried and liked Fat Electrician, but haven’t bought a full bottle simply because I am awash in vetivers that love.
I live in the US and you have my permission to use my email address.
I tried and bought Like This… I live in the US and you have permission to use my email address
I have the candybox coffret of Etats, so I am trying them all the time. I think the last one was Eloge du Traitre. I like a fair number of them but my favorite so far is Vierges et Toreros.
You may use the email address in my account. Thanks!
well, I have a full bottle of jasmin et cigarettes, I have Rossy de Palma on my long list, but the Tilda Swinton like this wasn’t love at first sniff.. I’d love to try this new one, so please use my e-mail if I go lucky
I like LIKE THIS and purchased the decant.
You can use my email.
Thanks.
The last Etat Libre d’Orange fragrance I tried was Like This and I loved it. Right up my alley. This is so exciting ! You have permission to use my email address.
I’d love to win this!! Thanks!
It was Secretions Magnifique. I almost felt guilty for loving it. My sister, on the other hand, almost threw up, and spent the rest of the evening smelling me and flinching.
Please enter me in the draw. You can use my e-mail. The last Etat I tried was jasmin et cigarette ad I REALLY liked it
I really like Putain des Palace. I think that is my favorite of this line that I have tried so far. Please enter me in the drawing.
You have my permission to use my email address. (I live n US, if you need that info)
I’d love to try an Etat.
Simul-testing Cuir de Lancome on my left arm and Cuir de Russie on my right.
I give permission to use my e-mail for this. Thanks!
I’d love to give this a try! You can definitely use my email address.
The last fragrance I tried? A bit belatedly, I tried Terre D’Hermes parfum the other day–I’m not sure it works quite as well in parfum concentration, but it was still lovely!
Hello! Last ELd’O i tried was rossi de palma @ Exsence in Milan.
I live in Italy and you may use the email address in my account. Thanks!
I’ve only tried few of ELdO and Like This is my favourite so far. It’s so sunny, warm and gingery – absolute bliss. I’m in the UK and you have my permission to use my email.
I can’t believe I’m throwing my name in the hat for this, but I love Christine Nagel! Never tried any ELdO scents, except for Like This, which I didn’t care for. Last scent I tried that I really liked – Profumi del Forte Roma Imperiale – wonderful!!!
I think the last one I tried was the Sex Pistols one, which didn’t make an impression, but I’m fond of this line. Rossy de Palma is an all-time favorite.
The only ELdOs I’ve tried are Like This and Fat Electrician, liked but did not love either of them. Please enter me in the draw – you can use my email.
The most recent ELd’O I tried was Like This, a delicious pumpkin and spice scent. I also like Don’t Get Me Wrong, Antiheros, Eloge du Traitre and Je Suis un Homme.
I live in the US and you have my permission to use my email address.
I’ve tried several and found them fascinating. The most recent and my favorite is Like This — I love carrot seed. Please do enter me in the drawing.
I live in the US and you have permission to email me.
The last ELdO I tried was Tom of Finland and it smelled to me like a delicious, icy cool mug of root beer float running over with froth. That the act-tough muscle mary turned out to be so vanilla is an in-joke I suppose gay men like myself can appreciate. Very very nice.
Ooh, great prize, thank you!
Does Tom Of Finland count? That was the last ELDO I tried. Only one shop used to stock ELDO in my area and they stopped a while ago which is a real shame since I’m pretty curious about a few of them.
I recently tried Jasmin et cigarettes and quite liked it… Always look forward to sampling Etat Libre d’Orange,they are all such unique scents.
You can use my e-mail address.
I tried Like This, and I wanted to Like This, but I’m anosmic to it. I’ve really liked Fat Electrician and Rossy de Palma. You may use my email if I am lucky!
The last ELdO fragrance I tired was Like This. I loved it and bought it.
I live in the US and you have my permission to use my email address.
Thanks!
Never tried any of the ELdo’s. Recently i’ve just tried L’Artisan Pour Un Ete. I like it a lot! The jasmine, citrus and tea give exhilarating effect in hot weather. Smells so natural too. I would love to be entered in the draw and you have the permission to use my email. Thanks.
I have never tried anything by this brand!
The last perfume I tried was Coeur de Vetiver Sacré by l’Artisan Parfumeur. It’s subtle and spicy and green with a mild touch of vetiver.
I’ve never tried anything from ELdO, but only because I’ve never seen the line in person.
My last try of a new fragrance is a sample of Daim Blonde I received over the weekend (my first SL!). I really liked it, but it was very similar to my memory of Chanel Beige. I need to try them next to each other.
The last EldO fragrance I tried was Like This. It’s my favorite from the line so far. So many more I want to try though! I love that they are relatively affordable for a niche line.
Their last fragrance I tried was Like This. I also bought a bottle. I wish they offered all their fragrances in 100ml bottles.
The last one I wore was Secretions Magnifiques. I own it and wear it every few months. It’s more wearable than sniffable, if that makes any sense.
The last ELdO fragrance I tried was Putain de Palaces and I bought it. It’s so wearable!
The ELDO I tried was Fat Electrician, supposedly named after a home repair person’s crack, which is about what it smelled like. I presume there is a fetish market for such a scent. It certainly was not for me.
I really like Like This though.
I’ve never tried any of their fragrances, unfortunately. The last scent I tried was Jennifer Aniston perfume, only because Sephora had an enormous island dedicated to it and I just read your review. Smelled like suntan lotion but kind of washed out. That photo of her on the stand is not good…
The last ELdO I tried was Like This, which I enjoyed, though not as much as Putain des Palaces. I LOVE Putain des Palaces.
I haven’t had the opportunity to try any ELdO fragrances (although I’ve been really curious about Delicious Closet Queen for a few months now). The last fragrance I did sample, though, was the Original Penguin EdT, just yesterday actually. Some well-enough composed, but wasn’t particularly interesting.
Sex Pistols….I thought it was very well done. Even with the strange combination of notes, everything from plum to leather to lemons, it’s a very smooth scent. Hopefully, it will become more popular as the word gets out about it. It might even be bottle worthy for me. Plus I’ll get to say “Sex Pistols” when people ask what I’m wearing!
I love ELdO. I recently sampled Like This and Sex Pistols and I love the both and am saving for full bottles.
You have my permission. Thanks
Le sigh… I have not tried any Etate Libre D’Orange offerings. Most recently I tried Unititled by Maison Martin Margiela. I loved its crushed-stems opening, but after 15 minutes or so it started to smell like the Philosophy Signature fragrance on me … too limp, too pale, too sweet, too artificial. I anticipate that my next sample will be Jardin sur le Toit, thanks to my lovely Sephora fragrance specialist!
The last perfume I tried was L’Artisan Mure et Musc Extreme (spritzed some of my sample on my wrists this morning). Like it but don’t know if I need a FB. Haven’t made it to the ELdO fragrances yet for sniffing, so this is a great oppurtunity! (It looks like from all the comments that I am going to need to sample Like This at least.)
Thanks for the draw! You have permission to use the email address in your reader account to contact me, should I be lucky enough to win.
The last ELdO I wore was probably Vierges et Toreros. I love that scent! I have a few other FBs from ELdO and need to sample more. The last samples I tried were Rossy de Palma, Rien and Like This, and liked them all.
In all honesty I haven’t ever tried anything from this brand. I’ve recently tried something from Lolita Limpicka. Si and I think her original fragrance. They smell soft and pretty. It’s just not my type of thing. I’m not really a soft and pretty type of chick.
The last Etat Libre scent i sampled was Nombril Immense. A pretty decent patchouli centric fragrance. Possibly even full bottle worthy.
Oohh! I love Etat Libre, ever since trying “Like This” (which is sooo comforting and sweet on my skin). I love wearing it outside, since it has fantastic sillage and dances in the breeze. It’s a beauty.
Hope to try more in the future! THanks for posting this giveaway!!!
The last ELd’O fragrance I tried was Sex Pistols, which I liked but ultimately the idea of it sounded better than what it actually was. A disappointment compared to Fat Electrician, which I adore, and now I have high hopes for Archives 69. Would love to win this giveaway! Thanks for the chance.
The last ELdO fragrances I’ve tried were Noel au Balcon and Like This. I tried Like This with a friend at Les Senteurs and she was instantly addicted! It led to her buying a bottle, with me getting a 20ml decant from it. I’m certainly not a bad influence! =P
Oh, I likes! I wants! Please to enter me in the contest.
I’ve tried most of the Eld’O frags, except for Like This, which I’m looking forward to trying in the future because I adore pumpkin. My faves so far are Fat Electrician and Rossy de Palma, though my bf was not keen on either of those. My current favourite Eld’O is Jasmine et Cigarette; what a neat combo.
I’ve never tried any of the ELd’O fragrances. the last perfume I tried was Rose d’Homme by Les Parfums de Rosine. It’s lovely, reminds me of Habit Rouge with a nice heirloom-rose top note. This floral would smell great on a man, the butcher the better.
The only ELdO fragrance I have tried is “Like This.” I would love to be entered into this drawing. The last fragrance I tried was Brecourt Haram and I will be getting a bottle. You have my permission to use the email address associated with my account.
I think that the last ELO that I tried was Je Suis un Homme, I have a bottle of Fat Electrician and I just had tried Vraie Blond e Putain des Palaces, I appreciate the creativity of the Brand, and you have my permission to use my email address.
I have samples of the entire range of ELDO and have really enjoyed a great number of them. I own Charogne, which is great, but my favorite is absolutely, hands down Rossy de Palma – I am on my 3rd bottle. It is a scent that I can’t stand being out of – its that satisfying for me. Would really love to be entered into the Archives 69 drawing as I really enjoy ELDO.
The last ELdO fragrance I tried was Sécrétions Magnifiques…fortunately, I had tried others in the line before that, so it didn’t swear me off the brand forever.
Thanks for a chance to win!
Last ELdO I tried was the Sex Pistols one, which not not punky at all! Okay guy fragrance, but no rudeness anywhere. I have bottles of Viereges et Toreroes, Rossy de Palma and Rien.
Feel free to use my NST address — AnnieA in Canadia
The last ELdO I tried was Secretions Magnifique (which was interesting but not as wearable as Archives 69 sounds).
Thanks!
I last tried, and bought, Vraie Blonde (sp?). It’s like laughs in a bottle. Can’t help smiling whenever I put it on.
The last Etat Libre d’Orange scent I tried was Bendelerious. It’s a funky cherry and iris scent that is so trashy it’s good.
Has anyone been to the ELDO boutique in Paris? It’s definitely wroth a trip if you’re ever in the area.
I’d love this! You have permission to use my e-mail address. thanks!
I haven’t tried an ELd’O fragrance yet but I really want to! The last fragrance I tried was Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess and I really like it for the summer. Thanks for the opportunity to try some ELd’O!
The last ELDO fragrances I tried were Like This and Fat Electrician.
I had high hopes on the first one because I had read many good reviews and it seemed right up my alley, but this perfume proves that you have to try before buying. It had a little bit of licorice and I did not like it as much as I wanted.
Fat Electrician, however, is a very good vetiver. I’d like to try it again.
You have permission to use my email if I win. Thanks for the draw!
By the way, my favorite ELDO perfume is Nombril Immense. I own a bottle of it.
Never tried this brand.
The last scent I tried was FM’s En Passant – and sorry, cucumbers are for my salad, not my perfume.
I tried Like This last winter: very warm and yummy
I live in the US and you have permission to use my email address.
I tried Like This when I received a sample in a swap, and I liked it quite a bit!
I live in the US and you have permission to use my email address.
Cool!
I am not familiar with the ELDO fragrances, I tried the putain des palaces or true blonde, I confuse the names, but never really explored the line.
This would be a nice way to start!
Thanks!
Yesssss! A contest not exclusive to the U.S.! You may use my email address. I’ve only tried “Like This,” by Eldo, but I adore it and it’s next on my fb list, so I want to explore the rest of the line.
The only ELDO I tried is Secretions Magnifiques. There’s no ELDO where I live, so, when I was in Moscow two years ago I was in this huge department store, GUM, in perfume shop. When I already almost had no “skin space” left I suddenly remembered to try Secretions Magnifiques. It was difficult to find on the ELDO shelf: the tester was (intentionally, I think) hidden behind other ELDO testers! Ok, I won’t be very original here: it almost made me sick :-))
You have permission to use my email address. Thank you!
never tried any fragrance from this brand. last one i tried was Guerlain’s Mitsouko, but i don’t get peach at ALL, all i get is oakmoss… :/
The last ELDO I tried was Like This which is incredible. I’ve also tried Jasmin et Cigarette and Rossy de Palma (which I need to go dig out again now). More sampling coming up I think.
I’m in the UK, and you have permission to use my email address.
I’ve never been able to try any ELDO scents, as nowhere nearby carries them, but I’ve always thought they looked interesting. Today I’m testing out Xerjoff’s Lua, which the wonderful company very kindly sent me a free sample of some weeks ago. It’s a sweet, nice scent, though I’m afraid it has yet to leave much of an impression. Overall, I much prefer XXY.
I’ve never worn an ELd’O but I have two coming in a sample order which I’m looking forward to trying! Thus one sounds interesting too. You can use my email address. The last perfume I tried was Van Cleef and Arpels Bois d’Iris. Yum!
I’m a huge fan of Like This. Rossy de Palma is a nice rose as well, but Like This just blew me away! And Noel du Balcon is right up my alley with its warm spiciness. ELDO fan here!
The last, and ONLY, eld’o scent I’ve tried, and bought, was Tilda Swinton’s “Like this”. I’d love to try this
I am in the US and you have my permission to use my e-mail address
I haven’t yet tried any Etat Libre d’Orange frags (I’m a bit gun-shy when it comes to over-the-top gimmicky brands) BUT I’d love to be made to eat my words! (email address permission granted)
The last fragrance that I tried, I mean, that I fell in LOVE with, is Cologne Grand Siècle of Parfumerie Générale. It is so beautiful..it fulfills my ideal of what an eau de cologne should be (despite the gimmicky ‘all natural’ thing). Definitely more so than Impériale or even Farina, both of which I like, but which are left seeming almost utilitarian compared to this delight. The bitter orange is absolutely stimulating. And it has better lasting power than most. Go get it, everyone!
The last ELDO fragrance I tried was Like This! which is weirdly great. And I’ve also tried Vraie Blonde. I need to revisit that one. Thanks for the drawing!
I have never tried this line but i would love to… You can use my email address if i win. The last fragrance i tried was l’heure bleue just a few hours ago. Its devine
I’ve never tried an ELd’O frag. And it’s been a while since I’ve tried something new. In fact, the last new fragrance (new to me at least) I tried was something very old: Nuit de Noël.
Please enter me in the draw; you have permission to use my e-mail address.
I’ve only ever tried one ELd’O. I live in the hinterlands. But in early December I was in NYC for business . . . the perfume-smelling side of things was over-whelming. I smelled Tilda Swinton, Like This and don’t have a clear memory of it.
The customer service at ELDO is one of the best. I proudly own Rossy de Palma and Bendelirious.
The only ELdO fragrance I have tried is Like This. I liked it a lot but not quite enough to buy a FB.
Thanks for the chance to win! You have permission to use my email address.
The last ELdO fragrance I tried is Like This but the one I purchased is Putain des Palaces and I love it. Thank you for the drawing.
Tilda Swinton brought me to Like This. They are both swoon-worthy, in the brainy kind of way I adore.
okay, I will confess. The most recent ELdO I tried (and even bought the sample!) was Encens et Bubblegum. But I have some very fond childhood memories of reading Nancy Drew books with the big tootsie roll shaped Bazooka bubble gums at my side as I chewed and read, put new piece in when the sugar rush subsided, chew more, read more. You know the drill. I don’t need a FB of Encens, I don’t think, but gotta love ELdO for honoring the Bazooka Joe in all of us. I live in the US and you may use my email.
What a nice giveaway from NST and NkdMan UK! Thanks!
I tested a few new-to-me ELdO’s in December, including Noel au Balcon. The last one I wore is my beloved Vierges et Toreros, just a few days ago.
You have permission to use my email address.
I have not yet sniffed any ELd’O fragrnance. I want to try so many of them, especially Like This. The last fragrance I did test was Balenciaga Paris, and I bought it.
You have permission to use my email.
The last Etat Libre fragrance I tried was Jasmin et Cigarette – and it was a great success. I have never had so many people ask me what I was wearing. Women seemed to smell only Jasmine but men seemed to smell only tobacco. Everyone liked it – amazing!
I’ve never tried an ELdO fragrance but would love to. The last fragrance I’ve tried was L de Lolita Lempicka.
You have permission to use my email address in my account.
I love Putains de Palaces which I positively adore.
Antiheros is the last one I smelled. Though I actually have ALL of them in sample form sitting on my bedroom credenza right now…

The last ELdO scent I tried was Divin Enfant and I loved it, so sweet and nice.

I would love to win this bottle, and the last ELDO I tried was Fat Electrician. It could turn out to be one of my favorite vetiver scents, and I certainly need to try more of the line. And you have my permission to use my email address should I win!
I think the last ELdO I tried was Like This [LOVE], so it’s been quite a while since I’ve tried any of their line. My favorite ELdO is Daphne. Thanks for the givaway chance and please do use my email if I win!
I haven’t tried any of the ELdO fragrances yet, but I am so curious about Like This. Sounds amazing and unique! The last fragrance I tried was (Divine) Eau Divine, and it was nice… light and citrusy, good for summer and humidity. I am in Virginia beach, so the humidity thing really applies to me! LOL
The last ELdO I tried was Like This ath the Lady Paname shop in Brussels. It was spicy and velvet at the same time. Strong, and it also has one of the coolest pictures in the line.
I really like Antiheroes, as I always am looking for just the right lavender. Thanks for the opportunity; you can use my email address in my account if I win.
Unfortunately, I have never tried any ELdO fragrance. But the last perfume I tried was Incense Oud by Kilian. In the beginning it smells cold, like a clear night in the desert, with soft citrus notes and lots of incense. But after half an hour it gets rather warm with sandalwood and a touch of cardamom. I don’t smell much oud in it. The first two arabian night fragrances were much better!
You have permission to use my email adress in my account!
The last Etat Libre d’Orange fragrance I tried was Noel au Balcon — a lovely Fall/Winter fragrance which smells like honey in the top notes and then melds together into an oriental deliciousness. I will be certainly wearing my sample in colder weather, and then — then we’ll see what comes next!
I would love to try this one. I like the notes and *blush* I like the name!
Thank you for a giveaway. please feel free to use my email — it’s write2warum over at g-mail.
Wow, what a great giveaway! I’m rather partial to ELdO’s fragrances and own a bottle of Jasmin et Cigarette, which doesn’t get a lot of wear, unfortunately. My absolute favorite from the line is Rossy de Palma Eau de Protection, with Charogne as a close second. Would love to try (and win) the Archives 69
You have my permission to use my e-mail address.
Oh I love giveaways! I suspect I would love them more if I were lucky enough to win !
Last EdL I tried was Like This and I loved it.
Today I am wearing Safari and wondering why I don’t more often.
This should be mine by right, LOL!: I’ve never tried any of their scents and I spent the first 14 years of my life a few yards from where their store is now, at number 88 rue des Archives.
You know you may use my email address, R.
Last ELO I tried was Delicious Closet Queen, which I didn’t care for too much. I love Putain des Palaces, though. Used up a sample, then saved up for a bottle at Les Senteurs here in London. When I arrived in the shop last week, however, someone had already bought up the last four bottles. There oughtta be a law. At least Les Senteurs is generous with their samples, though, so at least I have something to tide me over.
Oh- yes I’m happy for you to use my email address. I’d love to try Archives 69!
The last ELDO I really enjoyed was Charogne, despite of all the official notes it smelled to me like coriander custard, and I find it to be a rather novel accord.
The last one I tried was Secretions Magnifique, was curious if I would find as gagworthy as most people do. The SA wouldn’t spray it for me and told me to spray it myself if I really wanted – she did not want it on her hands the whole day afterwards
It was not that bad though.
And yes, you may use my e-mail address.
Finally a giveaway for the rest of the world
The only fragrance from ELDO I’ve tried is Putain des Palaces.
I have a sample of PdP and as far as I remember I liked it OK without being overwhelmed..
Will have to try it again soon.
The last frag by them I tried was Fat Electrician, which I strangely enough put on a few hours before I read this post.
I own Rossy de Palma and Tilda Swinton, Like This. I’ve tried Vraie Blonde, Encens et Bubblegum, Noel au Balcon and liked them all, but not enough to buy full bottles. I also tried the Sex Pistols, but it wasn’t for me. I like the Josephine Baker fragrance by their sister company. It reminds me of banana pudding.
The last Etat I wore was Rossy de Palma, which is a big gorgeous killer rose, the kind that smells so good on men, nothing retiring or mannered about it at all. I don’t know why I don’t own a bottle of it yet. (Probably because my first full-bottle purchase would be the genius Je Suis Un Homme.)
You have, of course, permission to use my e-mail address should I be so lucky.
I’ve never tried any ELdO fragrances, it’s not sold in my country. The last fragrance I tried was Iris Nobile by Acqua Di Parma. I didn’t like it much, it was pretty much a clean gardenia perfume, and didn’t get an iris vibe at all! I’d be really glad if I could try some ELdO. You most certainly can use my e-mail address. Ciao!
I thought the Tom of Finland was interesting!
I live in the US and you have permission to use my e-mail – wanewonderful@yahoo.com
Newish nose, am making my way through the perfumiverse, but haven’t hit Etat Libre d’Orange yet. I’m wearing Penhaligon’s Amaranthine for the first, liking it far more than I’d imagined, based off all the florals (jasmine tends to dislike me!). Delighted by that, and to be included in the draw.
Like This was the last one I tried. I’d heard so much about it I was afraid I’d be disappointed, but nope! It was a pretty as I had hoped and heard. My email is current and ready for your notification!
Vraie Blonde. Love it! Excellent contest, thank-you.
Jasmin et cigarette. I really wanted to like it, and almost did. But I felt less of a Sobranie-wielding femme fatale than someone standing in the shadows of the street lamps, wearing stale jasmine in her hair and stubbing out endless “beedies” on the pavement, on an unlucky night…

what an amazing opportunity! please enter me in the draw
i have not yet been able to try an ELO fragrance as they are not available here in argentina, but i’ve wanted to for so long! i have requested it to friends who have travelled abroad but with no luck. this week, a co-worker is in london and i asked her if she could go to les senteurs and purchase “like this” for me….i’m crossing my fingers!
the last fragrancei tried was YSL parisienne (i had no choice, the SA approached me and spritzed me, as they are aggresively campaigning it right now in buenos aires =P). the last fragrance i bought, however, was the wonderfully intoxicating gucci eau de parfum I !
p.s. of course you have permission to use my email address
I bought like this because so many people said it smelled good on me, and because it was on sale. I was a little unsure and kept the box sealed in case I changed my mind. The next time I was at that shop I tried a few things, and gave myself another spritz of it before leaving. Exhiliration, bliss, pure perfume love – it hit then and there AND I already had the bottle What luck!
I’ve tried Anti-Hero & Tom Of Finland – both interesting scents!
I tried Like This but it didn’t work for me. It is beautiful on the friend I gave it to! That is the only one I have tried so far.
I last tried Tom of Finland; felt like wearing a warm, broken-in leather jacket. You have permission to use my email address.
Friend A recently sent me a sample of ELdO Josephine Baker to share with Friend B, who is looking for a scent all her own. Josephine did not turn out to be “the one”… but we both benefited from the experience. Friend B realized that she LOVED grapefruit notes in a perfume, and I learned that I didn’t hate them as much as I thought I did.
The last one I tried is Kennith Cole RSVP. I liked it, but am ready for a new scent. I would love to win this bottle. Thanks.
Oh boy, sign me up! I just looked at the notes!
The last one I tried was “Like This”. I liked the way it smelled but I’d prefer it as a candle. Jasmin et Cigarettes is more my speed.
You have permission to use my email address
In the dead of winter I did a “jasmine sampler” and tried all kinds of jasmine frags, including Jasmin and Cigs…which I really liked. Want to try more from this line, so please picke me!! And thanks Robin for this great opportunity.
The last fragrance I tried was Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady.
I keep trying and retrying Like This…I think I love it, but I’m not sure yet if I love it on me.
The last ELDO fragrance I tried was probably Jasmin et Cigarette and it’s one of my favorites by the brand.
I would love this, Robin: thanks so much for the opportunity!
Last one I tried was Rossy. She was appropriately skanky-unusual-fierce, but her saffron ultimately put me off. I adore her sister, Putain des Palaces, which I’ve worn to a mini-sniffa resulting in careful, hesitant comments from a fellow perfumista who thought (I believe) that I was improperly washed, as well as to a Methodist ministers’ conference, where not a single person made a comment. I was so disappointed.
My last “new” fragrance test was for EL Bronze Goddess (and I nearly bathed myself in it!)
Hello. I have never tried ELdO. Don’t know where to try it….the last perfume I tried was at a Sephora and I tried Michael Kors because it smelled good on a friend….Also went to Neiman’s and tried and bought was the cologne from Atelier Vanilla Insensee. Please enter me to win. Thank you.
Hi… Never Tried any of the EL Fragrances although want to buy the “Tom Of Finland” one quite much! the last fragrance i tried was The One Gentleman By Dolce and Gabbana…. Yes you have permission to use the E-mail address in my account to contact me! Thank You!
I like both Fat Electrican and Like This. I may get FBs sometime, but I am in a buying lull for the moment.
Please put my name in the hat!
Oh, I love several ELdOs! Jasmin et Cigarette is my only FB so far, but I love how it teeters on a line between elegant and trashy. On some days, the jasmine and tobacco combination is almost apricot-like on me. And I adore Nombril Immense with its winy patchouli goodness. Antiheros, with its squeaky-clean lavender spiked with something spicy, and Divin’Enfant, with its delicious near-cacophony of orange blossom, coffee, and marshmallow are the sleeper hits of the line for me. I haven’t had the pleasure of trying Like This, but the notes sound delicious! And I’d love the chance to experience Archives 69. Of course you can use my e-mail if I have the good fortune of winning.
The last Etat Libre d’Orange fragrance I tried was Vraie Blonde (when I bought it on sale unsniffed). Archives 69 sounds awesome.

I tried “Magnficent Secretions,” which was a little intense for daily wear (at least for me), but fun.
The last one I tried was Putain des Palaces, and I thought it was very lovely; however, I already have rose/violet covered in my collection (that’s not my favorite combo), so I didn’t make a purchase.
I would love to win this one!
I have never had the opportunity to try an Etat fragrance but they do sound amazing. The last fragrance that I sampled was the Passport Collection by Paris Hilton which I received in my store last week. Cute marketing for this trio and I think i prefer South Beach out of all three of the fragrances.

Last perfume I tried was farenheit absolute . It left me confuses. It reminds me of the original but only slightly. And I cannot make out the ‘new’ notes
The last etat scent that I tried was Tom of Finland, and I got a bottle eventually. Though now when I sniff it, I found it a bit weird at times. You have permission to use my email address.
I recently tried Like This. It’s beautifully done, though not really for me. Jasmin et Cigarette is more to my taste. And of course it’s fine to use my email address.
Alas, I’ve never tried any ELdO fragrances. My loss. Last perfume I tried was Alien. Bought a bottle.
I went to Scent Bar for the first time on Saturday. It was wonderful! My friends chuckled and said I had found my Mecca. I really wanted to try Like This. It was lovely and I came home with a very healthy sample of it to go with my new fb of Tea for Two. Today I’m wearing the Tea and am dreaming of pumpkin.
The only ELdO fragrance I’ve tried was Fat Electrician… bought a bottle on the spot.

I have yet to try an Etat Libre d’Orange fragrance. Sadly. Haha. Today I tried Kate Walsh’s Boyfriend and it is a really nice surprise. I look forward to getting me a bottle soon. Has anyone else tried it? : )
I’ve only tried Like This, and yes, yes I do like that. It is on the FB list.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I wear Noel au Balcon and love to layer it with vanilla perfume oil.
I tried Tom of Finland and have been on the fence whether to get it or not.
I would love to try this. I have not tried any other ELdO fragrances but always loved the sound of Like This, especially after Angela’s review. Thanks for running the competition!
The latest fragrance I’ve tried and bought is Rochas Femme but I would love to try out Etat Libre d’Orange fragrance because I’ve never smelled their perfumes.
I would love to be able to try this one- never had the chance to try any of ELdO’s creations
last fragrance I tried is Fleur de Liane
thanks for the oportunity
I’ve never sniffed ine of ELDO’s drags but I’ve been very interested specifically in the jasmine et cigarette frag. The last frag I sniffed was Hermes Bel Ami, an old favorite I hadn’t smelled in a long time.
As per usual my email is most welcome to being used and I live in the US.
I’ve never tried any ELdO fragrances, but they sound divine. The last perfume I tried was Serge Lutens Fleurs d’Oranger, which reminds me of spring.

Last Etat Libre d’Orange I tried was Jasmin et Cigarette, which I like, but went a little back and forth on – lovely, but dabbing makes me wish for a little less jasmin and more cigarette. Not sure if I’m intrigued enoough to pursue it further, but I’m curious about Sécretions Magnifiques, too.
I have Rien by Etat Libre d’Orange, and it’s a curious thing – some days it really is a “nothing”, and others it smells heavier… Still figuring it out.
Just in case, you have permission to use the email address in my profile. Thanks!
The last and most memorable one I’ve tried is Like This.. and i’m in the “lov’in it” crowd =)
The last I tried was RIEN. It’s gorgeous) – leatherest leather.

The most recent ELDO I’ve tried is Divin`Enfant. I think it’s also the first ELDO I ever smelled, back at the beginning of getting in to perfume – it’s the only thing I’ve used a whole sample of so far though and I’ve been umming over a FB ever since.
Ooooh exciting!!
Just looked at the notes for this perfume and it sounds yummy – thanks for this opportunity!!
The last ELdO scent I tried was Like This. The first time I wore it, it reminded me so much of L’Artisan’s Tea for Two – Like This just seemed to have that smoky tea note, and I wasn’t too pleased… But now it feels lighter – I think I understand it a little better now, and I’ve been quite enjoying my little sample of it
You have permission to use my email address in case i win. The latest Etat that I tested, liked and bought was Like This.
ELd’O is not available in any Stockholm shops, but my friend and partner-in-crime-when-it-comes-to-scents has a sample pack waiting for me in her latest delivery from Lucky Scent. It contains Putain de Palace, Rien, Divin’ Enfant, Vierges et Toreros and Vraie Blond. Looking forward to some interesting sniffing :).

Interesting – I hope I’m not too late to enter!
Oh, I’ve never tried any ELd’O but they were next on my list already! The last new thing I tried: Yatagan and Troiseme Homme, both of which are quite different than I expected, but very Caron-y.
Vraie Blonde is one of my absolute favourites of any perfume, not just my favourite of the ELDO range, but there are still some I haven’t tried. I have high hopes for Noel au Balcon. The last one I tried was Like This which I liked but I think my expectations were too high following all the favourable reviews.
PS you have permission to use my email address in the unlikely event I win!
The only ELd’O fragrance I have tried is Like This, which was lovely.

I have never tried a scent by this brand. The most recent scent I tried is Ca Sent Beau by Kenzo (which I like). Please enter me in the contest. And, as always, thanks for doing this.
Encens et Bubblegum is one of my favourite scents and I would love to smell Archives 69. Thank you!
There’s no Etat Libre d’Orange available in the country unfortunately, but will be travelling soon and will make a bee line for the Secretions Magnifiques! Last perfume tried would be Chanel Cristalle Eau de Parfum
have never tried an etat..
last perfume tried was Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint Germain and thought even the EDT was better as a room spray instead of personal perfume
The last Etat Libre d’Orange fragrance I tried was Like This and I loved it. Right up my alley. This is so exciting ! You have permission to use my email address.
I have never tried any of Etat’s fragrances. But their names have alwasy sounded intriguing to me…
The last fragnance I have tested was … hmmm, what was it,… oh, yeah Musc de Samarcand by Les Nereides.
(and please do use my email adddress)
I have tried Like This (like!) Jasmin et Cigarette (like!) and Secretions Magnifiques (blecchhh!). Would like to see if I like this one – please enter me in the contest. You have my permission to use the email address in my account.
I haven’t tried any of the Etat fragrances yet but there are many I’d love to own- the Libre d”orange would actually be my first choice
The last scent I tried was Atkinson’s Mirra Mirra. It is a light, warm, lovely Myrrh scent. Very comforting. Unfortunately it is near impossible to dind in the US but I splurged and ordered some from England!
If I am lucky enough to win you may definately use my email address.
Like This, Tilda Swinton Id have to say was my first major scent revelation into the rabbit hole of niche! Id been slipping into the perfumistaness but that smelled so entirely different and perfect, I was done for since. Still its my favorite. Then came Noel Au Balcon, which I also love & had to get some of. I’d love to try anything from their line, nothing from them yet has disappointed.
I live in US and email address in profile is fine. Would love to try Archives!
The last one I tried was “Like This” which I really enjoyed. I’ve actually liked several of them. Just not “Secretions Magnafique” which I cannot bear.
like this! and loved it, a full bottle is on my list. It’s so optimistic and sunny
The last ELdO I tried was also “Like This” and it was great.
This scent was recommended to me from last Monday’s Mail so I’d be thrilled to win!
I love Etat Libre! Easily on my top 5 list of perfume houses. Perhaps my favorite.
My favorites are Jasmin et Cigarette, Rossy de Palma, and Noel en Balcon. Though I also love Like This, Fat Electrician, Divin Enfant and Putain des Palace. Please enter me in the drawing! I’d love to win!
secretions magnifique…reminded me of a whiff of the biohazard containers at the hospital. ripe!
Please enter me, I have never tried anything from this line but this one is getting a lot of great reviews!
I recently got the Ineke sampler set and I was blown away – I had never tried any of them before but they are all truly outstanding. I am especially enamored of Evening Edged In Gold. Better late than never!

I haven’t tried any of ELdO perfumes yet (though I have couple of samples – thanks to a good friend and a chance). The last new (for me) fragrance I tried was Bigarade Concentree by Frederic Malle – it was a mixed love-hate feeling, I’ll need to wear it again.
I have never tried, and my last new frag I received yesterday is La Maison Vanille Noire de Mexique.
I smell chocolate, chocolate,chocolate but my co-workers all said they could smell the floral. Go figure.

The last ELdO I tried was Like This. I love the opening and middle part, but I’m not sure about the drydown. I think there’s some kind of musk that dominates it in a way that I’m not sure I feel comfortable with, almost feels like I can taste it in my mouth.

Last ELDO I tried was Like This, which I had high hopes for, but ultimately I didn’t like it at all.
I love Noel au Balcon and can’t wait to own a bottle. A sort of more intense and cheaper Tea for Two.
The last one I tried really hooked me: EdLO Jasmin et Cigarette.

Wow, what a great draw – thank you! I’ve been looking forward to Archives 69 ever since they announced it. ELdO is one of my very favourite lines. I currently wear Like This and Tom of Finland a lot. Soft spots for Jasmin et Cigarette and Charogne, as well. Nkd Man is a FANTASTIC website – I visit them often and I love that they now have an ELdO discovery set in stock. I definitely need to order that soon. You have permission to use my e-mail address, Robin!
Never tried any of their fragrances, but would love to win this one!
