Review for Putain des Palaces by Etat Libre d'Orange

Marnie Edgar
: You don't love me. I'm just something you've caught! You think I'm some sort of animal you've trapped!

Mark Rutland: That's right - you are. And I've caught something really wild this time, haven't I? I've tracked you and caught you and by God I'm going to keep you. (Marnie)

Putain des Palaces has lovely notes that begin with a ladylike mix of rose absolute and violet. This opening combination reminds me of the scent of a Caron loose powder.
The drydown is an intoxicating mixture of leather, rice powder, musk, amber and something mysteriously animalic.
The fragrance is like a naughty version of Caron's Aimez Moi.

According to Now Smell This, this fragrance was created by Nathalie Feisthauer. This is the perfumer responsible for Versace Blonde and Comme des Garcons Guerilla 2.
I was never a particular fan but Putain des Palaces made me a believer in the perfumer's talent.
It is rare for me to purchase a bottle without extensive testing and coveting.
I purchased this particular bottle the moment I sniffed it.
I never got a chance to stalk it or dream about it.

The line is available at Henri Bendel 712 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10019
Phone number is 212-247-1100

This was FBW for me at first sniff. It doesn't get much love--I think te name puts people off. I'm thrilled you are a fan too! I don't get any of the anise vibe of Aimez-Moi but it does have a naughty Caron feel to it! cheers, sara

P: I was so delighted to flirt with that man.

Sara: I am going through my bottle quickly. That is some addictive juice.
)))))))S(((((((

Anon: The company is really into the naughty. Some of it goes over the line...but I loved the actual scents. They were interesting.
Who would have throught to mix bubblegum and incense together?
I did not get to sniff that one because the tester was empty.
I was disappointed.
