État Libre d'Orange Exit The King is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Ralf Schwieger and Cécile Matton. Exit The King opens with Soap, Musk, Pink Pepper, and Sichuan Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Ambroxan. État Libre d'Orange's Exit The King carries a Favourite verdict, a soapy-led wear.

This is a clean-cut chypre with a divisive, almost startlingly retro opening that mellows into a surprisingly complex, modern clean scent. Some find it a bit too old-school or even unpleasant, but for those who get it, it's a unique and addictive 'luxe soap' experience.

Its clean, fresh character makes it ideal for everyday and casual wear, even in warmer climates, as many reviewers attest. While it can be quite strong initially, it dries down to a pleasant scent suitable for office environments, though perhaps not for formal events where its prominent 'soap' accord might feel out of place.

About

Exit The King opens with an intense blast of aldehydic soapiness, brightened by pink and Sichuan pepper, before settling into a pristine heart of clean white florals like lily of the valley and rose. The base offers depth, grounding the airy freshness with earthy patchouli, mossy oakmoss, and creamy sandalwood, creating a 'shower in the woods' vibe.
