Description
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. Archives 69 was launched in 2011. The nose behind this fragrance is Christine Nagel.

Questo profumo sviluppa note diverse ogni volta,cioè esalta un aspetto oppure un altro a seconda della giornata.
Il suo sviluppo non è semplice e lineare ma un intreccio fra canfora pungente e fredda con l’odore piccante,note fruttate e frizzanti con incenso scuro e benzoino dolce,e poi una sfondo di muschi minerali freddi e sfuggenti.
A me piace molto ma non da usare sempre.

I quite like the dusty Tang smell at the beginning, but in a few hours it turns into off-brand dryer sheets.

I was sent this from a lovely seller on Ebay along with my original purchase and a huge tin full of samples. Yes Angels do exist!
I grabbed this one out and gave it a spritz. I have to say Etat Libre d’Orange put’s out some incredibly cool fragrances. With this I get straight up cherry cola with clove. It’s oddly addictive. This is my third try with this house and I really do like them. The quality is insane as is the unique nature of this house. Great scent for the fall for both guys and gals!
romansirozhidinov – :
What a weird scent. From the get-go the camphor is ever present, and so is the balsamic note. It smells a bit like what I remember Blistex DCT lip balm smelling like. I’m tempted to dismiss it, but I keep going back to my wrist for more. I can’t quite understand why. Camphor is something that should make my stomach turn, but it isn’t at all. The incense comes through. And a bit of sweetness. A fresh smokiness, like the cleanest resin smoldering. My first instinct was to call it a “winter mint”, but there’s nothing so cold here. More monkish almost, like a monk rising in the early morning in the Himalayas, drinking camphorous tea with a bit of honey and breathing in the chilly mist with incense gently smoldering in the distance. A winter rendition of what “fresh but warm” should smell like. Very intriguing!
Chebyr – :
I have a weird relationship with this.
I have comitted the sin of blindbuying a ELDO fragrance and I must suffer for that. Surely enough, I don’t hate this and it was a great deal. But truly, my opinion of it is quite fluid and I really do not ‘get’ this. I do not know if I will keep it.
Personally, the camphor is fine. It is not sharp and blends into the background smoothly, no dreadful menthol bursts here. What bothers me is the plum. The great plum of sweet sweetness, curdled powder and weird metallic plot twists after two hours or so. I usually enjoy the occasional plum, and I can enjoy this one, it just scares me sometimes. It’s a pretty and bubbly young lady, who you come to suspect is a serial killer.
Don’t get me wrong, this is still pretty wearable, just pretend to not notice the evidence…
Proostarodiax – :
Camphor and cayenne potpourri with church incense. I was expecting interesting, but this is not something I would want to smell like. I think incense is not for me, and if I want to smell medicinal, La Petite Robe Noire is a more beautiful cough drop scent.
FoupeVomguglose – :
I truly do not understand why this fragrance is labeled as unisex. This is definitely a woman’s fragrance. For more mature woman it seems since the notes fall down to give a distinct impression of an elderly lady (with Alzheimer’s probably considering how fast the smell fades).
I am glad I got only a tester. I will definitely stay away from this one.
serg20090 – :
Upon wearing Archives 69, I initially thought of it as a regular fruitchouli: ripe sweet plum, rosy fruity pink pepper over a slightly medicinal and earthy patchouli base. However, to my surprise, it doesn’t become gooey jammy in texture like many gourmand fruity patchouli does, and it’s got a few tricks up its sleeves as well.
Christine Nagel’s “rotten fruit” note: an overripe, almost sour mandarine lurks underneath the ripe plum during the opening phase of Archives 69. Its ripened sweetness is a natural extension of the succulent plum, while its sour aftertaste helps to balance the potentially over-the-top fruity sweetness.
Another interesting addition is the camphor. Personally, I don’t find it manifests as a distinct element. Rather, it feels like a refreshing breeze blown out of patchouli into the otherwise thick fruity fog. The same goes with the orchid and incense accords. Smell-wise, they feel more like an extension of the fruity notes into floral and woody territories, but texture-wise, they help to maintain a powdery, relatively dry one in order to limit the saccharine sensation.
Besides all of the above, the most interesting part for me, is a prominent balsamic and even slightly cumin-animalic muskiness in the dry down. Combined with the camphor tonality, it actually reminds me of the camphor-cumin pairing of Cadavre Exquis. This combination in Archives 69 is of course a far cry and is extremely diluted and tamed compared to that of Cadavre Exquis, but it still adds an unexpected sensuality to the dominant fruitchouli centerpiece.
Archives 69 has a moderate to soft sillage and a 12h+ longevity on me.
Overall, I still regard Archives 69 primarily as a fruitchouli fragrance, because the sugary plum and the earthy patchouli largely overshadows the other elements on my skin. However, even though these supporting elements only tangentially show themselves, they effectively keep the sweetness at bay. Being usually wary about the syrupy nature of many gourmand fruitchouli, I actually find the slightly powdery texture of Archives 69 much improves its wearability to me. I’d definitely recommend it to those who enjoy fruitchouli combo but would like a few subtle twists embedded within.
Masanya – :
The scent opens with a menthol burst, which may be a bit challenging if you’re not prepared. After a while, a slight pink fruitiness starts to emerge. However, even at this stage the menthol effect is still there. The overall impression is of sore throat lozenges – cold and sweet at the same time. Later on, the menthol note dissipates leaving you with a soft hospital-like fruitiness. All in all, unwearable, unless you’re a hospital seductress.

Vaniok86 – :
This is how ELDO’s shop in Paris smells like inside. Opens with a very smoky tar, incense notes and develops very quick into a more gourmand Turkish delight scent with a cellophane note .I can’t smell the camphor unless it comes from a more aromatic side like laurel leaf, pine needles or cypress . Smells also like a shopping mall; daring and unusual,very unusual,difficult to say globally how does it smells like but there an obvious sense of inside a shop ,notes seems breathing without space. The dry down smells too artificial to my nose smells like 70″dark shampoo. Definitely it needs to be revisited improve it and reformulated.
ros5550 – :
This is a great scent – I am really taken with it. I am now on my second outing with my sample. It is a surprise instantly – there is a purple opening on a sheen of aldehydes: plum, pink pepper and something like the sweet but slightly dusty note you get from old books. In any case, it is intriguing and delicious.
As it blooms, I get a plush floral note blended with a stronger sense of the incense which remains on the sweet and enveloping side; it is not cold incense or smoke. All this adds to the powdery, bookish, fruity smell and I am reminded briefly of Christine Nagel’s Mauboussin. Mauboussin pour elle is altogether more old-school, more curvy, more gourmand and more fleeting.
Archives 69 is more tenacious and as it dries down, the incense cools down and becomes more mineral – almost leathery. What begins as a soft, fruity, beguiling perfume finishes as a more austere and androgynous scent.
I find that this has a fabulous dark plum note with lovely soft incense and a fantastic musky/patchouli base. Essentially, since Feminité du bois became a bit thin, I am considering this as a similarly intriguing scent that plays along some of the similar lines (fruit, floral, musk).
I want to keep wearing this one.
EDIT: Whilst I have been enjoying a musky, sexy and fairly warm experience with this, my son said it felt really green and peppery, and my husband separately said that it had a really cold feel to it. This makes me love it more. Warm and cold? Not many fragrances can do that and it is pretty much my personal threshold for a fragrance I need in my wardrobe.
bbanjxci – :
this is plum chatney! beautiful and slightly piquant scent.
mironn82 – :
I am in a process to discover it right now, at this particular moment. First impression gives me the words Unique, Elegant, Very stylish fragrance. The notes are so very well mixed all together. Some reviews below mentioned ‘very well dressed lady’ I do agree with those statements. The style for this fragrance is a pure silk white blouse with pearls buttons throughout the back of the blouse, black pencil skirt and a Very high heels suede leather shoes in dark raspberry colour. Beautiful! It goes into my wish list right away.
Sambfeepe – :
Yet another ELdO of great quality that feels too artsy and elaborate. A fat, tasty scent of warm spices and juicy fruits which miraculously feels airy and light. It adds a layer of smoky and sweet tones that are absolutely there but feel elusive, like they were not there. A soothing musky drydown finishes the job smoothly.
A wonderful and interesting creation, but for some reason it does not qualify in my love registry. For 69 i prefer the 1969.

invoibtub – :
There’s something really carnal about this perfume. Like a bedroom after sex. Or perhaps a gentlemans club, albeit I’ve never been to one. Sweaty, smoky, and some sweetness in the background. This is really good. It’s the ELdO i know and trust, weird but marketable.
Excalibur – :
Spicy mandarin with a creamy background. Calm, smooth and exciting at the same time. I really enjoy the opening of Archives 69.
The creaminess is probably created by benzoin, musk and parts of the orchid chord, and I think this is the key to the wonderful harmony of the composition in the opening and heart phases. Camphor has an important role throughout the progression but becomes more prominent in the heart phase along with incense. Archives 69 is constantly evolving, keeping up a tension which makes it interesting all the way into the dry down where it becomes more woody-resinous still with a camphorous touch.
I’ve had a few disappointments sampling ELDO scents lately, but with Archives 69 my confidence in this house is restored. Thank you Christine Nagel!
sanek24978 – :
WOW!!! This parfum is young,mysterious and modern… pink pepper is very beautiful, it is not usual is made sweet enough, perhaps also due to the plum… the incense gives a mysterious appearance. It’s an exciting and charismatic mix, with the intriguing character of sex appeal, but that can be noticed! It differs greatly from the mass. It is a beautiful scent! Love it! ❤❤❤

Plum is the most prominent note. Mysterious and sweet.
EthichStuct – :
Yes it’s medicinal, yes it’s a sweet, camphorous musk and yes it’s moreish!
It’s light but lasts, I find this strange, medicinal smell comforting somehow?
It’s not a crowd pleaser, it doesnt conform to regular everyday scent standards and for that I love it more.
moriturus11 – :
Sensual indeed and Christine Nagel indeed, softly peppered opening drags you slowly into incensy woodiness, more like an eclectic labyrinth of forgotten memories, that all flash at you suddenly, once you inhale this fragrance from yours or someone’s skin. Camphore gives oily quality of a spiced tea, tamed patch, not in your eyes and white musk – very very appealing fragrance, you do want a FB of juices like this one, it is complicated enough not to get bored, yet easy to enjoy, not a tiring one.

First 5 minute I feel Jeans Trussardi .Next is so good quality scent. Very soft, musky ,warm ,exclusifs. I love this 69.
azer-399 – :
First spray the camphor was so strong it made my nose run and my eyes felt like they were getting prodded by q-tips slathered in the stuff- alas if you’re suffering from a cold, try this one! Jokes aside, this fragrance is unique in that it’s full of sharp contrasts- the edgy, medicinal camphor contrasted by the super candy sweetness that comes right after. It reminds me of someone selling candy in a hospital, it’s a weird and uncomfortable but that is the beauty of this brand. A lot of their fragrances don’t feel they ought to be worn but to be admired for their journey through the senses, however unpleasant they may be. The camphor is fantastic once it settles amongst the sweetness because it provides that “bite” this fragrance desperately needs to retain its interesting composition. The peppers pop and fizzle, almost coming alive in the camphor brew and plum incense starts to creep in during the final hours. Overall, an interesting scent but not one I could see myself wearing as I find the drydown too sweet though there are notes of incense and the camphor remains though-out.
p2000s – :
Super wearable for ELdO. This is a musky balsamic fragrance with sweet fruits and a hefty medicinal camphor that keeps it interesting. The camphor is just brilliant – it’s such a weird note: high pitched and sticky, yet almost mentholated, and yet although it is in contrast to the rest of the composition, it doesn’t jar, it actually feels complementary.
Despite the dominance of musk and fruit, it is somewhat like a younger cousin of DK Black Cashmere – it shares a glowy incense base with BC, as well as a kind of spiky,urban, attitude.
For some reason, Tank Girl comes to mind: stompy biker boots and candyfloss pink hair.
Update: after wearing this for a week, I am more than in love! This is just on the right side of quirky, while still being gloriously comfortable and the dry down is to die for: golden incense and musk.
Кристиновка – :
Archives 69 launches a rocket of medicinal camphor upon application. If the camphor note remained at this intensity it would be very unpleasant but it calms down so this initial burst just adds to the fun. Sweet warming fizzy peppercorns emerge and are joined with sweet pink fruit notes. To me it smells of raspberry sweets (candies) and jammy plums. Delicious.
The fruit note is very sweet and alone would be overpowering, but balanced with the pepper and lingering camphor it all works beautifully. I was surprised by how wearable this is, and it is a fun little trip to experience. I am really enjoying discovering ELDO’s line; Archive 69 is clever, witty and overall immensely wearable.
8/10 from me!

“Archives 69”
Its a creative scent from “ELDO” ! its opened with strange fruity syrupy spicy vibe , then turns into flowery soapy smoky combo of (orchid , camphor , patchouli , frankincense ) that makes it urban modern to the bone , with lusty vanilic musky structure .
The scent its specific turns more to “avantgarde” style , spiritual unique ,delightful & sexy .
Ps: solid longevity & projection .
Modern & Playful
9/10.
Micarmelita – :
Archives 69 is an exciting perfume from the line. It must be Putain des Palaces in my opion. Actually I don’t like the camphre note but it is an amazin in Archive 69. This is one of the most successful perfum from the line and little bit underrated I think so. Very sexy, interesting, sexless!
Evgenymvr – :
Essentially just fruit and pepper, although artfully done. Citrus notes of mandarin predominate to begin with, then pink pepper, plum and incense. Sweet and gourmand, but the pepper does cut through this enough to stop it being cloying. Not sure if I like it on me, but may be captivating on a woman.
vkomissarov – :
69 rue des Archives is the address of Etat Libre d’Orange. Archives 69 is a fragrance like the soul of its brand, evoking sensuality & freedom!!!
It opens with a very smooth touch of a citrusy mandarin. It is quite natural and pleasant.
But then it reveals… Here it goes a Fruity and Velvety Orchid (wow, damn good). Plus, there are plenty of Blueberries aside, light, delicate and full of juice, giving a smooth, clear/limpid sweet touch.
This fruity floral nuance is even more emphasized/enhanced due to the touch of Pink Pepper here, just to mention that.
Sexy without being vulgar; subtle, but it wants to lay and spend the night with your skin as one. It is gentle, but noticeable. A nice musk with a carnal touch, an incensed body that warms our skin underneath the sheets… A creamy dry as the night sleeps..
An invitation to pleasure and treat. Parisian smells this way…
🙂
h12h12 – :
Smells like blueberries, very sweet and not so pleasant.
slofeNase – :
Another gender-bending scent for the daring and outrageous….sadly for me it does not work. Smells like a cheap whore house.
I wrote earlier about “Chargone” (same brand )that I love for its sophisticated pharmaceutical quality. This one also has a pharma-type note, that is hard to pinpoint but it is there…however not in a flattering or a sophisticated way; more like the ‘personal items’, yes I am talking about the “condom corner”.
In fact it reminds me of tacky, sticky, toffee apple gone sex toy, cheap latex, PVC kinda awful mixed with a cheap heavily discounted shower gel section, where people have opened and tried the product and some bottles are broken and spilled out and now the entire floor is sticky and all this concoction of weird, cheap, nasty-smelling items is all on SALE (final offer!) 70% off.
You just wanna run out of this store.
Have a real toffee apple instead at your next fairground visit!!
Caranentapobe – :
There is something unpleasant about ELdO Archives 69. Perhaps it’s the camphor and the musk mingling together with pink pepper and plum? Yes, that could be it! This is just weird. It really does not smell like a perfume. It smells like a laboratory experiment–which of course it is!
I feel overlap here with Sécrétions Magnifiques–which I heartily dislike. I suspect that the overlap was intended. In the end, neither liquid is wearable by me. I give Archives 69 points only for originality. Of course, originality is not aestheticism, and I am of the considered opinion that perfume should smell good and be wearable.
This creation is closer to what I would term “olfactory art” and offers an excellent example of why perfume is best regarded as an object of design. If you cannot or would not wear it, then it’s just a smell. A complicated, creative smell, perhaps, but not really perfume.
Time for a bath!
Ефимова Анна – :
I still haven’t decided if I like or love it. It’s an interesting scent. I sprayed it about half hour ago and so far the most prominent notes on me are mandarin/orange, pink pepper and plum.
The first impression was not very promising but it turns more and more beautifull with every minute..
If the longevety is acceptable, it will be on my want-list.

I have finally decided – I love it and I want it!
SergeySOFT – :
I went to the store to sample the newest Eldo fragrance,La fin du monde, and the assistant suggested me Archives 69. At first sniff I was disgusted by it. I smelled something like disinfectant and blood (maybe it was the camphor). I couldn’t smell anything else, no plum, no incense, no musk. So sad because I usually like Eldo’s fragrances.
кирюша – :
I got an unexpected surprise when sampling this perfume. It transported me back to my grandmother’s ultra fem peach bathroom. It makes me think of “Caress” soap, dressing powder and lipstick. This is not to say that it smells “grandmotherly”. It makes me think of a very feminine lady. One who dresses in a pencil skirt and stockings just to do the grocery shopping. She is well dressed no matter the occasion. I must say this scent hurt my heart a little, but I am happier for it.
лера – :
This is my first try of Le etat Libre.
I was surprised in a good way with archives 69.
It’s hard to describe every note, because it changes constantly. It opens fresh with something slightly sour, but just for seconds. Then I detect the camphor, that also stays for a minute or so.
Then the spices join the party. The plum appears and brings a wonderful, calm, warm tone to this composition, together with the light incense it creates an extraordinary combination.
Pangolin666 – :
The Giant Electric Prune of Death is raining mentholated strawberries on your pitiful city, with the priests deploying the incense cannons from the churches to fend it off.
This is a very exciting, fizzy/fruity/camphor/incense mix-up that’s fun and serious at the same time. I don’t shy off from tricky, hard to wear or even very feminine perfumes, but as a straight guy, I have to say that this juice is about as unisex as a pair of neon-pink leopard-patterned leggings – if you’re a man, you have to be an exceptionally outstanding character, or blatantly, flamingly gay to be able to pull it off.
A wonderful, cheeky little thing, lasts ages and has quite a proper sillage! The only situation I can recommend it for is clubbing, but beware – even though it’s expensive-smelling, in a club, amongst a lot of perfume, it might smell a little too youthful (even childish), quirky or much too similar to some cheap thing aimed at the youth market.
fanatgbr – :
An intriguing, sweet, feminine, almost “childish” scent. It has a body like a fizzy sherbert lollipop with prominent musk which stands out reminding me of those little musk mints you chewed on as a kid. The intial burst red berries and camphor – the smell of mothballs is an unusual mix of topnotes, but not unpleasant, instead rather fresh and fairy-like. Then it gets muskier and muskier as it evolves, and deepens with the kick of incense, giving it a sensual, mysterious edge. The sillage stays very close to the skin without leaving a trail and the lasting power is medium. This would make a good scent for the woman who enjoys musky, light scents.
lityun – :
On my skin it smells almost nothing..When I turn my nose to my skin I just think its weird…
På min hud doftar den nästan inget alls. När jag sätter näsan mot huden och drar in andan så doftar det väldigt lite och bara konstigt..
Thanx Allinug for the sample =)
wheelycle – :
A white-chocolate covered orange that puffs out a cloud of pepper dust when sliced open. It kind of reminds me of those chocolate oranges that you smash on the table to open, but with Archives 69, when you smash it, pepper comes out. I love this. I have never smelled anything like it.
I can detect every fragrance note listed, and yet they all blend together seamlessly. Not sure I’d want to wear it on my body, but if I had this as a room spray I’d be trigger happy.
SherveSot – :
Archives 69 opens with a very strong blast, probably the camphor, and something a bit metallic, and.. Cold? Sharp? Very hard to describe, and that’s all going in in the first second after application. After putting the vial down & stepping back for a moment to let it settle, I have on my skin, a lovely, balmy, slightly salty, and smooth fragrance. It reminds a bit of Kilian’s “Good Girl Gone Bad” in its beginning phase. This has something more lurking underneath this sweet, “good girl to the eye.” Something a little dirty. Not dirty smelling, but a sense of “that forbidden glimpse”. Like a beautiful woman you caught unawares, swimming nude in her pool. You gaze hungrily upon every forbidden inch of her. The impurity is only in your thoughts, not in what you sense before you. Somehow, the smell of chlorine and orchids on the breeze changes from refreshing, to electrifying. And it’s all in your mind. There is a small smell of what I get as, “just dropped swimsuit” here. The florals, balmy softness, lurking smoke, all layered beautifully, then add the scent of a swimsuit freshly stripped off a woman’s warm, wet body and you have Archives 69. I find it absolutely lovely! A little challenging, at first, hard to describe. Not what I would have ascribed to a “sexy” perfume, but that scent of nude, sun warmed skin is there. And that makes it sensual. Dreamy, not vulgar. A must try before you buy, it surely won’t be for everyone. That said, ill take a bottle!
danver2011 – :
I had the chance to buy Archives 69 directly at Etat libre d’Orange in Paris a couple of weeks ago. The name represents their address: 69, rue des Archives.
The perfume brings me back to the 70’s (even though I was a child then). I even call it my peace and love perfume. On me it’s a blend of incense and flowers. I usually don’t wear fragrances with flowery notes, but the orchid is “tamed down” by the mandarin and pepper notes. I can smell the patchouli and the camphor. Patchouli is another note I cannot stand in perfume, but it is mixed so well with the camphor, the incense, the benjoin and the musk that it makes it almost indian.
That’s it! I know what Archives 69 reminds me of. It’s a real American hippy smell (and I don’t say it in a bad way). You know the kind of hippy who is trying to recreate the spiritual indian world in their home. They buy flowers and burn different incense all over their place. To the point that even the smell sticks to their skin and clothes. I also have to admit that Archives 69 possesses a slight smell of pot in it.
Anyway, this is one of my all-time favorites and I will cherish it for a long time. “Le parfum est mort, vive le parfum”!
evnikat – :
Even by Etat Libre D’Orange standards, this is an odd one on me. The initial notes are fiery, almost medicinal like a throat lozenge. The overall effect is warming and sensual. Not my favourite from this fragrance house, but still a unique and interesting scent.
Exhammaanigma – :
Etat Libre D’Orange’s main points of strength have always been considered their advertising campaigns and marketing strategies (provocative names, arousing images, trendy concepts) and, during the years, they grew up a consistent amount of loyal followers with their “borderline”, love-or-hate approach.
On the other hand I’m realizing that their choice of giving the brand a provocative/controversial identity has often turned into a sort of limit. Many people who have been potentially interested in their juices have been disencouraged by the house misleading/questionable perfume’s names and images. I would like to suggest this people to try to avoid the provocation and approach Eldo’s fragrances focusing on their juices. If you’ll be able to do it, you will discover a bunch of extremely solid compositions that range from the classics-inspired Je Suis Un Homme or Eloge Du Traitre, to the successful modernity of Like This, Fat Electrician, Jasmin & Cigarette and Tom Of Finland via the conceptual/artistic-weirdness of Rien, Charogne and Secretions Magnifique.
With that said, the new Archive 69 has been commited to perfumer Christine Nagel who previously worked for the likes of Guerlain, Cartier, Dior, Fendi, Armani, Givenchy and many many more….Her latest composition for Eldo strikes as a succesful concoction of resinous notes and frankincense joined by pepper and berries on top, a sophisticated orchid note in the heart and a remarkable camphoraceous vibe throughout. Overall, Archive 69 is an extremely sensual skin fragrance with a multi-facets character that goes from the peppery opening to the warm and comfortable musky/incensey drydown via the endless nuances of the heart where it continuely morphes from flowery to sort of gourmandic.
Probably it won’t reply the success of the Fifi Prix des Spécialistes award winning Like This, but it’s surely head and shoulders above the average quality available on the market.

Sampling fragrances from this company is like eating Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. Fun, but kinda scary at the same time. You could get wonderful or you can get downright revolting. Makes them all an adventure.
This one is kind of on the fun side to me. You can actually feel the camphor in your eyes when you bring your wrist up to your nose to smell it. Then you get to something that honestly reminds me of Necco Wafers and Red Hots candies. I get that this must be the pepper(s) but they really do have a confectionary vibe to them. Very strange.
So glad I tried it. I don’t want to actually smell like this but it was great fun to play with.
babaiy – :
A69 is a sensual and light perfume, woody animalic, but not heavy, sweet, it reminds me a little bit of outrageous Secretions, it contains something embarrassing, too explicit… salty, body-like. I can’t say is it for men or for women: when I smell it, it seems I am smelling a man, my husband says, it smells like a woman ;o)
