Story of Your Life, from Etat Libre d'Orange was released in 2024. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Benzoin and Davana, middle notes of Bread and Orange Blossom, and base notes of Amber, Cacao Pod, Patchouli, Rum, Vanilla, and Woody Notes.
Smells exactly like any generic gourmandy amber or fake oud scent from cheap middle-eastern houses. It has no originality or edge, it just smells like cheap aroma-chemicals and caramel. Sort of like Xerjoff but with worse materials. It's a hate for me. Oh yes, it's just occurred to me that it smells like an even blander Milk by Commodity. If the Story of Your Life is "oh, a new release by a once-interesting niche house...could it be worth trying? No, it's boring and awful" then the name is appropriate.
