Meet the bold and playful fragrance

Welcome to the exciting world of Bendelirious from Etat Libre d'Orange, a French niche perfume house founded in 2006 by visionary Etienne de Swardt.

Released in 2008, this unisex fragrance, presented as perfume water, embodies the brand's bold philosophy, challenging traditions.

It harmoniously combines elements of floral and fruity families, creating a unique and memorable image.

Bendelirious is often described as a playful and provocative fragrance, perfect for those looking for something special.

Its name hints at a state of bliss and fun, reflected in the bright and optimistic character of the composition.

Since its release, it has won the love of niche perfume fans for its originality and emotional depth.

Who this fragrance is for and how to wear it

As a versatile unisex fragrance, Bendelirious suits bold and creative individuals, regardless of gender.

Its middle sillage ensures a balanced presence – noticeable enough to attract attention, but not overwhelming, making it ideal for the office, dates, or evening events.

As perfume water, it offers moderate longevity, gradually revealing its facets on the skin, so it is recommended to apply it to pulse points for better projection.

Thanks to its fruity-floral base, Bendelirious is excellent for spring and summer days, adding freshness and joy.

However, its warm base notes allow it to be worn in cooler seasons as well, creating a cozy and intimate feeling.

The creative duo of creators

The creation of Bendelirious involved two outstanding perfumers: Antoine Lie, known for his subtle sense of balance, and Etienne de Swardt, the brand's founder and creative visionary.

Their collaboration brought a unique blend of playfulness and complexity to the fragrance, characteristic of Etat Libre d'Orange's DNA.

This release not only strengthened the brand's position as a pioneer in niche perfumery but also inspired many to experiment with scents.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

It's hard to understand what's going on with Etat Libre d'Orange fragrances at all, especially when you look at their descriptions and packaging. They've changed beyond recognition, and not for the better. For example, one version of Bendelirious had a white ribbon with brown stripes and the inscription 'Henri Bendel 1895'. For most Russians, this is just a set of words that means nothing. Even on the brand's website, it's not explained who this mysterious Bendel is. Yet, it's just the name of an American brand founded by Henri Bendel in 1895. He wasn't a designer or a couturier, just a salesman who knew what wealthy New York ladies needed. His stores were a mix of boutique and salon, where strange encounters happened. Bendel invented hat packaging and that white ribbon, but most importantly - he brought Coco Chanel's clothes to America.

As for Bendelirious, it's a fruity-musky scent, but understanding its notes is a real puzzle. Only after studying the composition pyramid can you catch sweet cherry, synthetic champagne, and suede, but all of this is very conditional. The musk clearly stands out here, but it resembles the smell of an expensive store with cosmetics, silk lingerie, and furs. The image of the woman created seems abstract and a bit outdated. If you like sweet musky scents with a hint of the past, you might find it interesting, but for me, it's simply unbearable 😒

The fragrance is simply stunning, and those aren't just words. Bendelirious is more than the usual idea of bohemia. It brings to mind evening gatherings where champagne glasses clink and a flirtatious atmosphere hangs in the air. Expensive cars with leather interiors - that's all him.

The base of the fragrance is surprising: a combination of tenderness, mystery, and audacity creates an incredible sensation. The leather in this perfume is simply magnificent. It's soft, like well-treated leather, not rough like a biker's. The champagne note sounds beautiful, without any hangover feeling, and there's no acidity. The cherry is delightful - sweet, but not like jam, rather a fresh, juicy berry.

For me, this is an evening fragrance to wear out, not for staying at home or casual walks. A true boost of inspiration and good mood

The fragrance appeared in 2008, created specifically for the American store Henri Bendel, which sold not only accessories but also cosmetics and jewelry. After 123 years of operation, this store closed in 2018, and now Bendelirious is left with a bitter aftertaste. However, its festive character, inspired by Baz Luhrmann's films, is still felt. You can catch notes of suede gloves, cherries in champagne, and powder. And in the sillage, there's a slight hint of fruity tobacco. SADNESS!

This fragrance from the brand is simply incredible! From the very first sniff, it ignites emotions and paints vivid images in your head. It's not just a scent, it's an entire event that transports you to a special place and time. One spray - and you're already in a luxurious hotel, comfortably settled in a leather armchair with a glass of champagne in hand, and ripe cherries lying on the table beside you. The fragrance is very natural and realistic. It lasts long, and the sillage is just right. If I could, I'd give it 10 stars! ))
