Odd odd stuff yet again from Etat Libre d'Orange but quite lovely and very palatable indeed. The opening is a very sweet and complex explosion of notes, the iris and popcorn being prominent with a slightly metallic flint type gunpowder note...it really is there. Recent release Valentino uomo is quite similar but creamier and nuttier maybe not quite as complex. I love La fin du monde it's a tasty, sexy gourmand fragrance...sniff it out people it's good! Update 23/02/2022 Some years after the above comments and I've actually purchased a bottle of this based upon my memory of impressions back then. Looking at this review it's quite luke warm, and I'm a bit the same about it now. The comparison to Valentino Uomo is interesting to look back at and still valid. It's a kind of perfume that wants to be sweet but is ever being pulled back into the realms of savoury nuttiness by pyrazines or something? I still get that flinty, spark from it. Interesting perfume, but another tongue in cheek oddity from ELDO, the Charlie Hebdo of fragrance brands.
