I try all my Etat Libre samples before reading their flamboyant concepts, because I want to be free of influences. I opened the vial and got freightened. The second day I dared putting a few drops on my skin. Terror and disgust. Then reading any marketing story gives no sense. I'm not much into leathery scents and this could be a reason for my dislike. Maybe.

Vierges et Toreros opens up strongly with the pepper accords. I get hints of ylang ylang mixed with the cardomom & nutmet. You begin to think the tuberose get lost with the base notes (leather, patchouli and vetiver). As the fragrance begins to dry down and disappear, hints of tuberose awaken.
Being of Spanish decent, I admired Toreros (Bull Fighters) and wished as a kid to be one (until I saw one gored). I enjoyed watching the beauty of the dance between the bull and the torero. Always remembering how the torero respected the bull.
Like a bull this fragrance must be appreciated and approached carefully.
It is a masterpiece in how ELdO is able to put tuberose into a masculine scent.

On him it smell like worst kind splatter movie I can imagine, like something that could be called The Garden Party Massacre, cause it´s no doubt about this being a floral... pretty, sweet and white flowers all covered in ruby red, thickening blood! A lot of blood also! And OMG do I hate the smell of blood??? Really repulsive for me... I was screaming to my husband to go and wash this horrid perfume off at once, even tough he didn´t think it was anything wrong with it. Belive me he has no olfactory sense what so ever!
I have to admit I don´t have the guts to try this on MYSELF! Anyway, my middle daughter got home and I let her smell it and she adored it immediatly so I gave it to her.
So please keep this perfume as long away as possible from me, even tough I have to admit that it is a real masterpiece from an artistic point of view, and appearantly I´m the only one in my family that can smell the note of blood Or at least the only one that can´t handle it... did I mention that my husband works at the emergency room at a hospital? I guess he kind of like blood...
Really worth trying, nothing I have smelled comes even close...

I must say that I really like it! I love spicy perfumes in general. All the spices mix well with the few flowers and the leather. I even smell tobacco.
Not the regular fragrance for sure, but I must admit that I am kind of a weird person... lol
