The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Etat Libre d'Orange, Exit The King is a bold and daring composition that redefines the boundaries of fragrance. Created by perfumers Cecile Matton and Ralf Schwieger, this unisex scent marries soapy aldehydes with rose and white florals, creating an unexpected harmony that oscillates between freshness and warmth. The opening notes of soap and aldehydes give way to a heart of pink pepper and jasmine, while the base of moss and patchouli adds depth and earthiness.
One to two sprays is sufficient as the soapy aldehydes are quite prominent initially. The scent evolves over time, with the earthy base notes becoming more noticeable after about an hour. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh and engaging presence.
