Which Should You Buy?
Archives 69 is ELdO at its most divisive: a bizarre ride through medicinal camphor and peppery spice that some find utterly compelling, others utterly repulsive. Definitely not a blind buy, but endlessly fascinating.
Peppered mandarin, plum and incense over camphor, benzoin and patchouli. Oakcha's take on Etat Libre d'Orange Archives 69, and a strong choice for anyone who likes an unusual scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and unique character make it intriguing for casual wear or a date, allowing its unusual facets to be appreciated without overwhelming. The strong, at times medicinal, opening and its avant-garde profile might be too distracting for a formal event or the office, while its warm spicy and camphor notes are unsuitable for sport.
Seasons
Spice, incense and resin suit the cold months. The warm density would feel heavy in summer.
Occasions
It is distinctive and a bit dramatic, which suits evenings and dates. It is less likely to blend into an office.
