About
Archives 69 by Etat Libre d'Orange is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. Archives 69 was launched in 2011. The nose behind this fragrance is Christine Nagel. Top notes are Pink Pepper, Paprika and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Plum, Incense and Orchid; base notes are Camphor, Benzoin, Musk and Patchouli. She carries her memories like her scent. They surround her, they endure, and they speak her name. She is a collector, and among her souvenirs can be found the beauty of beginnings, the ache of endings. In the sanctuary of her heart lie the sacred and the profane, they come together like the notes of her fragrance. She doesn’t linger long at the altar of regret. She lights the candle and burns the incense at the shrine of remembrance and expectation, pleasure and pain, in anticipation of the glorious memories yet to create. Pleasure is the flower that passes; remembrance the lasting perfume – Jean de Boufflers Composition: mandarine, baie rose Co2, feuille de piment, orchidée & pruneau JE, encens, camphre, benjoin, patchouli, musc.
