Hi there APJ,
Recently I went and hung out with my mate Bronwyn of Gascoigne & King Candles. I did some Xmas shopping with her and 7 of my buddies got Gascoigne & King candles. PERFECT gift. Anyway she passed me this sample because she is also the distributor of Etat Libre d’Orange here in Australia. Well, I looked at the beautifully packaged sample and thought, “Those freaking bastards at ELdO want me to make a complete tit out of myself when telling people what frag I’m wearing.” Seriously guys, I’m just a unilingual dude that wears dresses from down under. This kind of long French name, any long name really, kills my joy in a scent. So I was already halfway ready to hate it just because of the name.
Attaquer le Soleil Marquis de Sade by Etat Libre d`Orange 2016
Attaquer le Soleil Marquis de Sade by Quentin Bisch
Fragrantica gives these featured accords:
Labdanum
Smells like labdanum incense. Unbelievably gorgeous. Simple yet complex, wearable, challenging. Glorious.
Then name and the ad are irrelevant (and pretty rubbish) but the fragrance is bloody good.

LuckyScent has $95/50ml
Surrender To Chance has samples from $5/ml
