Etat Libre d'Orange

Created by Etienne de Swardt in 2006, "Etat Libre d’Orange is an ambitious, audacious perfumery. Liberated. Free to create. Free to love and be loved. This is a different kind of perfumery, with a point of view. A whimsical perfumery that uses irony to hone the names of its scents. A spirited perfumery that shakes up prejudices and stirs up ambiguities. A perfumery that plays with ideas and reinvents the pleasures to be found in the sense of smell, through sublime juices. These are juices composed from living matter that fuses with the skin so they can only belong to the person who wears them. Juices that are fashioned without constraint or compromise. Juices that are designed to disturb, to touch, to tempt. And seduce, seduce, seduce. Juices that are created to extend the confines of perfume, to overcome the forbidden, to break the rules. To rebel. To exist, at last. Etat Libre d’Orange is a declaration of independence. Perfumes for life and love and making love." — État Libre d'Orange
