Etat Libre d'Orange Like This

Warm, earthy pumpkin opens with a slightly raw, vegetal edge — not bakery sweet, more like flesh than spice. Neroli lifts it early, keeping it from going too heavy, while ginger adds a dry, almost medicinal bite that cuts the softness. The heart settles into powdery heliotrope, grounding things in a cool, almond-adjacent floral. Musk in the dry-down is skin-close and clean, with earthy notes keeping a faint dampness underneath. Projection is modest; sillage is intimate — this stays near the body — best worn in fall or early winter by anyone who wants cozy without smelling edible.
