Warm, rich, exotic, intense, spicy dramatic notes, often based on amber, vanilla, incense with florid floral top notes. Fresh, floral, sometimes herbal/mossy scents dominated by leafy, grassy, crisp notes. Lemon, bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, tangerine, grapefruit, cedar, syringe and lime. Reviving and refreshing. Rich, dark, smoky, deep, spicy notes usually intensified or contrasted with green, floral or animalic oils. Bouquets of flowers - tuberose, roses, lily, jasmine, lilac, muguet, ylang-ylang, violets, orange blossom etc. Fresh, sweet, feminine. Mostly florals and greens enlivened with notes of soft sweet fruits - peach, apricot, plum, pineapple, prune, and raspberry. Literally "from Cyprus". Longlasting, warm, mossy, soft dark scents. Very sophisticated, urban, couture and elegant. Usually chypres feature sharp, green top notes which soften to bases of oakmoss, amber, leather, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood. Full-bodied, green, dark, aromatic notes of cedar, sandal, juniper, birchwood, rosewood, ebony, patchouli, oak-moss, lavender, clary sage. Entirely synthetic and quirky modern sub-group which uses a variety of chemicals (e.g. calene) to  introduce a suggestion of the sea, lakes, rivers and streams to the top and middle notes of a perfume. As innovative and ingenious as the introduction of aldehydes in the early 1920's.


  
Fragrance  <<   Etat Libre dOrange

Etat Libre dOrange   The PHILOSOPHY:

Etat libre dOrange is the creation of the South African born but truly international Etienne de Swardt, a handsome charmer and devilishly skilful conceptionalist.

At Givenchy, his first creation was the notorious OH! MY DOG , in which he expressed his credo – to charm all comers, make himself the universal pet: indispensable to all.

Fascinated by all things erotic and adventurous, seeking to love and be loved, intrigued by the bizarre and the perverse, de Swardt is the ideal ringmaster for this veritable circus of scents.

“Perfume is Dead! Long Live Perfume!” is his war-cry, celebrating a new No Man’s Land of perfume where literally anything goes, where “provocative” does not just mean saucy teasing but cocking a shocking snook at authority and the establishment, and advancing the frontiers of olfactory science,art and discovery.

In Etat Libre dOrange’s Declaration of Independence, Etienne stresses that primarily he sees perfume as a tool of seduction, a means of exploring and stretching the senses. His team of Noses flaunt their sexuality in their creations, but however avant-garde, Etat Libre dOrange’s standards of craftsmanship and quality are second to none. Their materials are of the finest quality, their inspirations are challenging, amusing ,sometimes disturbing.

You will never be indifferent to an Eta Libre dOrange fragrance and we think you will never be alone, either!
