Great opening + dissapointing dry down = average fragrance

Remarkable People by Etat Libre d’Orange is a fragrance with a great opening and average dry-down. It is a versatile and fun creation that excels in certain parts rather than delivering a full high-quality experience. Inspired by people who have made a significant impact on the world, this fragrance is worth sampling at least.

TOP NOTES
The fragrance opens up with a blend of bubbly grapefruit and cold cardamom that mixes so well that you might want to take a bite out of the spot where you sprayed the fragrance.

I’m not sure how the perfumer accomplished this, given that the grapefruit smells like candy and is nowhere near the quality we’ve seen in other releases, such as Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever or Hermes Terre d’Hermes Eau Givree. However, the opening of this fragrance smells better than both of the previously mentioned scents.

HEART NOTES
Unfortunately, the potential to create something new, vibrant and next-level begins to fade away as the middle notes start to emerge. I can’t express how much I love the first ten minutes of this fragrance and how fantastic it smells. For that experience alone, this scent is worth sampling and even owning if you want something casual and different from what everyone else might wear. The fragrance remains super versatile and uplifting as we’re introduced to the spicy heart with black pepper accord and mildly floral jasmine that makes the scent wearable for both women and men.

BASE NOTES
The dry-down should have been better. The labdanum and lorenox should have produced an amber/leathery experience which is non-existent here. When the fragrance finally settles down to its final stage, what we are left with are traces of the citrusy opening, spicy heart, and javanol that mimics real sandalwood.

OVERALL
This fragrance is a pure example of why I don’t like fragrance hype in any form. For me, ELDO is a hit-or-miss house that usually delivers good stuff but never a masterpiece. I love how the grapefruit blends with the spicy cardamom and the fantasy champagne accord, producing a scent that is almost bubbly.

However, I am not sure why the fragrance in the dry-down feels so basic and unfinished, with only generic javanol molecule and little else.

Lemon and champagne sorbet

There is a desert that can be made with lemon sorbet and champagne. This smells like this, Frizzy! And with a hint of spices that itch on the nose. black pepper mostly. The cardamom... I don't detect it that much.
It's very tasty, delicious and it's such a shame that doesn't last that much.
At max you get 4 hours... but what 4 hours.... This is one of those fragrances that make you happy
I'd love that it lasted 6 hours...

For second characters

Usually when I watch a film, read a book (I don't know if it's a peculiarity of mine), I usually stop and remain fascinated not so much by the main characters, but by the secondary ones, who in my opinion, despite their marginality, by not existing would take away a meaning to the wonderful stories told.
Now let's imagine them all in a club, drinking champagne and cocktails with sugar-coated grapefruit.
This for me is Remarkable People: a fragrance with sweet grapefruit, accompanied lightly by champagne, which relaxes on jasmine and spices.
A versatile fragrance, suitable for any occasion, apparently simple but actually elaborate.
Always fit and distinctive. Really nice.

Grapefruit candy

Remarkable people is for me a grapefruit Candy. Nice as a Candy but nothing remarkable for me. Nice smell but i have smelt It before lot if times, i find It a bit genéric. The champagne gives some sweetness and elegant vibe and the cardamom gives a spicy character. It is very similar to the new jo Malone London perfume yuja and to Dior home Cologne, but sweeter.
The performance is just average, 4-5 hours on skin with soft projection. Unisex and good for everyday use un summer and spring because if his freshness and citric vibe.

Leans masculine on me

Remarkable People has a sparkling and light opening of citrus and champagne, absolutely delicious, but the sweetness is fairly juvenile, almost like bubble gum, but it isn't childish.

Though not at all similar, Remarkable People reminds me of Davana & Vanille Bourbon by 100Bon, they are equally as potent in citrus as they are sweet.

After dry down, the fragrance reveals a spicier middle note of slight sandalwood and even slighter cardamom. It might not even be fair to review it in late autumn, early winter, because this fragrance is made for spring!
Remarkable People seems to me leaning more feminine, but the more I smell it, the more I gravitate towards it leaning more masculine. Very strange.
On paper, Remarkable People remains far more fresh with citrus, but with a slight soap quality. Here it is a definite feminine fragrance, I am very surprised by how interchangeable it is. Quite remarkable (pun intended).
If you are looking for a sparkling, sweet fragrance, this is the fragrance for you. I cannot imagine many disliking it. However, the longevity is quite poor, on me anyhow, which makes it perfect for everyday office wear for some, but I wish it would last longer, I prefer my fragrances stronger.

Revisiting the fragrance the other day, I found it definitely leaning masculine, like a light college year's cologne. For a moment I was reconsidering whether I should have purchased it, but I will wear it as soon as springtime comes or maybe on a sparkling night out.
