Sweet and comforting on some, subtly smoky and sexy on others, perfumer Jerome Di Marino's composition for Etat Libre d'Orange blends amber wood with rich resins, an infusion of vanilla and a toasty brioche accord. The slightly boozy drydown incorporates rum, cocoa and labdanum — resulting in a comforting gourmand that balances deep, rich notes with an overall lightness of being.

Definition of true love

Some of us have known it, others have yet to experience it, but we are all waiting or looking for it. It will come.

From our first morning of buttered bread and orange blossom, savored in the laurels of yesterday.

I already know you, we say.

This is a home, a haven, a shelter.

"I often have this strange, penetrating dream,” we whisper in the warm, enveloping caramel arms of benzoin and the sweet, ripe fruitiness of davana.

Words fail us, but our souls speak to each other in complete transparency.

We soar, intoxicated, high on rum, infused with vanilla and cocoa. Full of that body, the feeling we want to devour.

On the pillow, we leave our signature, the bare skin effect of Orcanox, the undress of amber woods and patchouli.

There is a vague but strong hope, nurtured alone on a blanket of yesteryear, when the hope, the dream, becomes reality, when the meeting takes place, at last, and everything makes sense.

Our ancient hearts find their way back together.

We'll meet again tonight, tomorrow or in another life.

True love is an eternal beginning again.
