Final Impression:
"500 Years" is an olfactory manifesto more than a perfume. Its scent evokes centuries of ideological struggle - sacred, revolutionary and thought-provoking. If you want a fragrance that challenges history and sparks debate, this is your ideal choice. Not just a scent, but an artistic statement with Etat Libre d'Orange's bold signature.
This avant-garde creation opens with a meditative incense-spice accord that gradually transforms into a leathery-woody heart reminiscent of ancient manuscripts, finally settling into a sensual yet intellectual musky-amber drydown. The church wax note adds a strikingly authentic dimension, making it a truly conceptual masterpiece for those who see fragrance as wearable art and social commentary.
