The story behind the bottle.
Encens et Bubblegum by Etat Libre d'Orange was launched in 2006, crafted by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu as part of the brand's daring and unconventional portfolio. The fragrance opens with a surprising blend of bubblegum sweetness and smoky incense, creating an unexpected yet captivating contrast. This composition evolves into a heart of fruity and floral notes that add depth before settling into a warm base of amber, vanilla, and balsamic accords. It is this juxtaposition between the playful and the profound that makes Encens et Bubblegum stand out.
Apply this fragrance in light layers as the smoky and sweet notes can be quite potent. Allow it to settle for about ten minutes before fully experiencing its depth. Best worn during cooler evenings when the warm base notes are more pronounced.
