État Libre d'Orange Frustration is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Frustration opens with Cinnamon, Cumin, and Rum, settles into a heart of Vanilla and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Chestnut, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood. État Libre d'Orange's Frustration carries a Statement verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

État Libre d'Orange Frustration genuinely lives up to its name, proving to be a polarising blend. While some find it a cosy, deeply satisfying gourmand with an addictive nutty vanilla, others are utterly repelled by its intensity, likening it to rancid butter, peanut butter, or even burning tyres. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so definitely sample.

About

Frustration is a boozy, warm gourmand that plunges you into a rich, complex scent story. It opens with an immediate hit of rum, spiced with cinnamon and a hint of cumin, which quickly evolves into a nutty embrace of chestnut and creamy vanilla. The drydown settles into an earthy, woody base with guaiac wood and vetiver, retaining a comforting balsamic sweetness. It's a scent that balances edible warmth with intriguing depth.
