Brand Overview
Etat Libre d’Orange redefines perfumery by fusing raw honesty with artistic innovation. Rather than follow trends, it crafts stories in scent, pulling inspiration from literature, film, identity, and desire. Each bottle is a declaration of freedom: the freedom to challenge, to feel, and to express.
Fragrance Notes
The collection includes cult favourites like “Fat Electrician”, pairing creamy vanilla with earthy vetiver for a modern masculine twist; “Like This”, a warm, poetic blend of ginger, pumpkin, and immortelle; and the controversial “Sécrétions Magnifiques”, designed to provoke with metallic, salty, and animalic tones. These are not just perfumes—they're signature scents that leave a lasting impression.
Wearability
Ideal for fragrance collectors, creative personalities, and risk-takers, these scents perform well as long-lasting fragrances with evolving drydowns. Suitable for evening wear, gallery openings, or any moment when you want to be unforgettable. Their complexity and sillage also make them perfect day-to-night scents.
