   For a 2011 release, Archives 69 deserves more attention than it gets. The first minutes are all about Pink Pepper with a hint of Paprika — it grabs attention without being pushy. Give it a little time and Plum with Incense comes forward — smooth and well done. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   A couple of wears in, Archives 69 has really grown on me. Right away I get mostly Pink Pepper alongside Paprika, fresh and very easy to wear. The very first sniff is crisp Pink Pepper with Paprika peeking through, very much my kind of start. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   I picked up Archives 69 (2011) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. As it settles, Camphor and Benzoin come through and give it real depth. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Plum with Incense, which is where the fragrance really shines. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   I’ve been wearing Archives 69 on and off for a few weeks now (2011). The heart is the best part for me: Plum and Incense feel carefully balanced. As it settles, Camphor and Benzoin come through and give it real depth. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   My first Etat Libre d’Orange experience was this one, Archives 69 (2011). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Plum with Incense, which is where the fragrance really shines.

   I have owned Archives 69 for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Plum with Incense, which is where the fragrance really shines. As it settles, Camphor and Benzoin come through and give it real depth. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   A couple of wears in, Archives 69 has really grown on me. Give it a little time and Plum with Incense comes forward — smooth and well done. That first spray gives a lovely Pink Pepper/Paprika impression that dries down smoothly. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   Etat Libre d’Orange knows how to compose, and Archives 69 (2011) is proof. The base rests on Camphor and Benzoin — warm, grounded and easy to live with.

   A decant of Archives 69 sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. Give it a little time and Plum with Incense comes forward — smooth and well done. The very first sniff is crisp Pink Pepper with Paprika peeking through, very much my kind of start. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

The base rests on Camphor and Benzoin — warm, grounded and easy to live with. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here.

    I’ve been wearing Archives 69 on and off for a few weeks now (2011). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Plum with Incense, which is where the fragrance really shines. As it settles, Camphor and Benzoin come through and give it real depth. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.
