Frustration by Etat Libre D'Orange

Gourmand Sweet Fragrance for Men & Women

Frustration is a complex and provocative fragrance, embodying the tension between desire and fulfillment. This scent captures the essence of longing, of something promised but never fully realized—a reflection of the childhood moments when curiosity was met with the phrase, “I’ll tell you when you’re older,” leaving you suspended in anticipation. Frustration is for those who live in the space between wanting and having, where pleasure is perpetually out of reach, yet intensely satisfying in its pursuit.

The fragrance opens with a bold, spicy blend of cumin and cinnamon, igniting the senses with warmth and intrigue. The intoxicating note of Pure Rhum Jungle Essence™ adds a hedonistic twist, bringing a richness that feels indulgent yet fleeting, like a pleasure that teases but never fully delivers.

In the heart, vanilla dominates in two forms: the creamy warmth of Pure Vanilla Jungle Essence™ and the richness of vanilla absolute. These sweet, comforting notes evoke a sense of nostalgia and indulgence, balanced by the deep, resinous character of ciste absolute. Together, they create a harmonious tension—satisfaction just out of reach, always promising more.
