Etat Libre D'Orange Frustration

Frustration – By the Vanilla I Remain
Frustration — the eldest daughter of renunciation, the sister of perfume.

Like desire itself, Frustration offers without ever giving completely. It teases, seduces, and lingers — a fullness never satisfied, an endless movement of longing that keeps the senses alive.

Born from a moment on Barcelona’s Ramblas and a 70s refrain transformed — “and frustration is what you need, my friend” — this fragrance becomes a love game in scent. Vanilla, lush garden rose, aged rum, bourbon vetiver, amber woods, chestnut, and cinnamon swirl together in an intoxicating rhythm, like Ravel’s Bolero, building tension without release.

This is a perfume for those who understand that satisfaction ends, but desire endures — that joy lies in the pursuit, not the possession. A regressive journey where the strong adult meets the fragile child, and the fragile child meets the too-strong adult, united in the memory of what’s missing.

Happy are the consumers of desire.

Spicy, Woody
