The story behind the bottle.
Etat Libre d'Orange launched Remarkable People in 2015 with perfumer Cecile Matton at the helm. This fragrance is a daring and unconventional blend of spicy and citrus notes that challenge traditional boundaries. The opening layers of grapefruit, champagne, cardamom, and black pepper create an invigorating freshness, while the heart of jasmine adds a floral contrast. The base notes of sandalwood, Lorenox, and labdanum ground the composition with warmth and depth.
Remarkable People embodies Etat Libre d'Orange's reputation for bold and unconventional fragrances. It is a scent that invites you to embrace your distinctive qualities and stand out from the crowd.
Apply this fragrance in thin layers to let the complex layers unfold gradually. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so wait for them to settle before reapplying if you want more of the spicy and woody base notes.
