Rien (Etat Libre d’Orange) works with a whopping extreme of 80 or so notes. Its opening is bracingly bitter in the vein of the legendary Bandit (Robert Piguet, 1944), as animalics and leather notes are charged through and through with astringent green notes, especially oakmoss. Rien is bold and clings to the body and perseveres in the mind – it is an addiction of spiced and smoked leather – it is decadent, sinful, and reveals itself on the flesh. Notably, amongst notes of searingly hot black pepper, incense, labdanum, and patchouli, Rien employs safraleine, a vibrant and warm leather molecule, faceted with the metallic shimmer of saffron and the spicy-fruity nuance of rose. Delicacy is found in the very depths of Rien.
