The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006 by Etat Libre d'Orange, Eloge du Traitre is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that embodies the brand's daring and unconventional spirit. Created by Antoine Maisondieu, this composition opens with an aromatic freshness that is immediately invigorating, before transitioning into a heart of fresh spices and herbal notes. The base features warm spiciness, patchouli, conifer, and leather, creating a complex and intriguing scent. This fragrance challenges traditional notions, much like its provocative name suggests.
Apply two sprays to allow the aromatic top notes to bloom before giving way to the warm base. This fragrance pairs well with layered clothing for a subtle yet noticeable presence throughout the day.
