A land of beauty, culture contrasts and feelings. A savage and unpredictable place, independent and unrestrained. Even though it ended in 1902 its attitude lives on at this brand.
This brand offers elegant, provocative and luxurious perfumes. Creations that break the rules symbolizing freedom of expression, an idea represented also by the brand’s logo. Moreover, in the elaboration process there are no restrictions on creativity, raw materials or expense.
Etat Libre d’Orange, a declaration of independence.

Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
Open a new scented path, beyond light and gravity.
Newton, excuse us!
Legend has it that an apple from a tree fell on Newton’s head – and thus, the theory of universal gravitation was born. But then let’s imagine a different scene – Newton, asleep under a rose bush. And instead of an apple, a flower falls, an enormous rose, a fully scented, fleshy rose. Would he have felt it? Would he have plunged his face into the heart of the flower? And what would this mean for his theory?
This scent: A chypre! And a very precise and clear-cut formula, like something that falls on you, sudden and direct. And never leaves you. A trail of scent that holds on. Akigalawood and patchouli for a honeyed rose.
Newton, excuse us! Your Crucial Experience showed us that colors are not characteristics of objects but properties of light. We now know, thanks to you, that white light is a mixture of rays with the nuances of the rainbow. You also showed us that just because an object IS red does not mean that we see it as red. If it appears red to our visual perception, this is because, when illuminated with a white light source (for example, sunlight), its surface absorbs all the colored light rays that compose it, EXCEPT the reds.
So forgive us for taking inspiration from your Experimentum Crucis! You have been the inspiration and the source of criticism for so many. And as your theory has changed our vision of the world, we have tried to create a fragrance that will change the world.
