I tried to draw "Experimentum Crucis", "500 Years" and "Spice Must Flow". A visual perfume review!

Smellomania is a KZbin channel where I will be reviewing various niche, indie, designer perfumes by... DRAWING THEIR SMELL.
Now it's time for Etat Libre d'Orange "Experimentum Crucis", "500 Years" and "Spice Must Flow" to be analyzed in ways it has never been done before. What does it smell like??
The nose behind "Experimentum Crucis" is Quentin Bisch.

This is such a refreshing way of reviewing perfume! So right up my alley. Also, I literally just tested Spice Must Flow and 500 years last night. Somehow I ended up on Reddit which led me to this post. I'm so glad to say that we almost have the same thoughts on the two fragrances I mentioned. Experimentum Crucis was unavailable so I'll save that test for the future. More power to you and this style of presentation! 😄

[@Smellomania]

Wow, that's amazing! I literally try not to read or watch other reviews so that different opinios wouldn't cloud my impressions! And now you're saying that you had almost the exact same thoughts - that sounds simply amazing to me!

[@AlterRektMLG]

This is such a brilliant way to describe perfumes. This is what I will expect from perfume reviews now.

[@Smellomania]

Haha, thank you! 😀

[@Smellomania]

Thank you so much for such a wonderful inspiration to keep on uploading! :)

[@LanZhansWeiYing]

Your review style is amazingly unique, knowledgeable and as the owner of all three scents I can defiantly say you have captured the essence of these scents. They have a thread of rose tying them together, but your beverage comparison illustrates how they sit in the same family. Thank you so much for one of the most enjoyable reviews I’ve watched in a long while.

[@Smellomania]

Thank you so much, I'm really happy to hear that from a proud owner of all three! :)

[@heatcrimson6214]

Love your review. By the way, my most favorite from Etat house is "you or someone like you" so I hope to see you review it 😁

[@Smellomania]

Oh, I will be definitely reviewing that beautiful minty fragrance! :)

I personally think of fragrances in terms of symphonies or music. But colors work well too. You gave me a much clearer. idea of what experimentum crucis would smell like.

[@Smellomania]

Wow, perfume as music! That's really exciting too. I'm glad that my colorful review was helpful :)

[@franci.f.]

@@Smellomania yes, regardless of the notes cathegories (fruit, flowers or whatever) I really appreciate the structure of the fragrances, the way each note makes its way into the fragrance (when, how). I don't like so-called well-blended fragrances where you can't distinguish the notes. Actually with respect to experimentum crucis, I have learned from others reviewers that in this one the notes remain well distinct and sharp. That's why I am interested in it.

[@LucidAnomalies_]

beautiful video. thank you!

[@Smellomania]

Thank you for watching! 🙏

[@juandelacruzfraganciadelac1224]

[@VitalFPV]

Jou! Subbed! :D As vis galvojau kad shroom in the room yra tavo hobis?

[@Smellomania]

Jou! Ačiū :) Anas hobis užleido pirmos vietos pozicijas šiam naujam :)

[@ilikepandas1]

This is so cool. Etienne should hire you to do some promos. I’m sniffing Spice Must Flow on my wrist right now and the fizzy ginger note is finally clicking for me. Sadly Experimentum Crucis ends up more like juicy armpit than juicy rose 😔.

[@Smellomania]

Hahaha you got me with the "juicy armpit"! 😂

[@ilikepandas1]

@@Smellomania It’s the cumin. It doesn’t let up on me. And I wanted to like it so badly after hearing it was like a better version of I Am Trash.

[@Smellomania]

@@ilikepandas1 Oh yes, I've heard people comparing with armpits 😀

[@avinashkumar-gq2gk]

Which is the best?

[@Smellomania]

Depends on what you're looking for. Experimentum Crucis is definitely the most feminine and fruity one, Spice Must Flow is completely unisex, soapy, and spicy. 500 Years is a bit darker, heavier, most masculine of them all.

[@avinashkumar-gq2gk]

Thnx.

[@auraballoon]

I thought experimentum crucis leans masculine.

[@Smellomania]

Oh, that's the beauty with unisex perfumes. I actually stopped labeling them like this because it's all in our heads! Experimentum Crucis is very popular among women where I'm from so my head automatically "assumed" this. But it's a very beautiful scent which can totally be worn by anybody :)
