"Like This" by Etat Libre d'Orange is a captivating fragrance that beautifully marries floral and spice elements to craft a unique spicy gourmand or oriental scent. Introduced in 2010 and crafted by the talented perfumer Mathilda Bijaoui, this perfume offers a cozy and enchanting olfactory experience. The exotic and warm sweetness is initially unveiled through vibrant top notes of mandarin, ginger, and pumpkin, drawing you into a comforting embrace. As the fragrance evolves, the heart and base notes enrich the sweetness with floral accents while introducing a subtle warmth and earthiness with vetiver and musk. This harmonious blend makes "Like This" a truly magical scent, perfect for those who appreciate a fragrance that is both inviting and sophisticated.
Sillage refers to the trail a fragrance leaves in the air as you move — sometimes called projection or throw. Fragrances with bold base notes like oud, amber, musk, and woods tend to project strongly. Lighter, citrus-forward or aquatic fragrances sit closer to the skin. For maximum projection, apply Like This Perfume to pulse points and allow it to dry naturally without rubbing.
Fragrances interact with your skin chemistry, body temperature, and pH level, which is why the same scent can smell different from person to person. Factors like skin hydration, diet, and even medication can influence how a fragrance develops. Applying to moisturised skin helps the scent bloom more fully and last longer.
Spray Like This Perfume onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows, and chest — where body heat will amplify the scent. Hold the bottle 10–15 cm from your skin and avoid rubbing the fragrance in, as this breaks down the top notes and reduces longevity. Applying over an unscented moisturiser helps the scent last even longer.
Designer fragrances are produced by major fashion brands — such as Dior, Chanel, and YSL — and formulated to appeal to a broad audience at an accessible price. Niche fragrances are created by independent perfume houses with a focus on artistic expression, rare ingredients, and unique scent profiles, produced in smaller quantities at a premium price.
Arabian fragrances — from houses like Lattafa, Rasasi, Afnan, and Swiss Arabian — are rooted in centuries-old perfumery traditions using ingredients like oud, rose, saffron, amber, and musk. They are often oil-based or highly concentrated, giving them exceptional longevity and sillage, while offering remarkable value compared to Western niche fragrances.
