Etat Libre d'Orange
The brand encourages people to experience the diversity of olfactory experiences first hand. As a brand dedicated to the passion for unique fragrance compositions, it strives to emphasize the individual impact of each perfume. The founding philosophy, guided by the creative vision of Etienne de Swardt, sees fragrances not just as simple scents, but rather as a means of expression for self-expression, love and joie de vivre.
Etat Libre d'Orange invites everyone to explore perfumes in all their depth, without being limited by preconceptions. Its ambition is to show that perfumes offer a creative freedom that takes us beyond traditional norms. The brand explores a wide range of olfactory expressions, emphasizing not only sensual aspects but also integrating subversive and provocative elements.
