État Libre d'Orange Cologne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Cologne opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, and Blood Orange, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk and Leather. État Libre d'Orange's Cologne carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

ELDO's Cologne is a crowd-pleasing freshie with a zesty citrus opening that dries down to a surprisingly warm, musky leather. It's a solid, unpretentious scent that many will enjoy, but don't expect anything groundbreaking from this relatively safe ELDO offering.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A dazzling blast of blood orange and bergamot zings out, bright and invigorating, with a hint of green freshness. This lively citrus mellows into a heart of delicate jasmine and orange blossom, adding a clean, ever-so-slightly sweet floral touch. The base rounds out with a soft, comforting musk and a subtle, well-mannered leather, giving it an unexpected depth for a 'cologne' style fragrance.
