500 YEARS
The story of mankind delivered to you in a perfume. An eternal trail of incense and oud serving the majestic rose. Bold, spicy with insight and alliance for the skin.
Featured in the Orange Extraordinaire Collection.
FULL DESCRIPTION
For twelve years, Etat Libre d’Orange has been celebrating enlightenment
through an awareness of beauty, goodness, sensitivity and intelligence. Our house has welcomed humankind in all its forms, as long as they try to contribute to The Perspective – the Renaissance concept of three dimensions in art which allowed for more realistic and profound depictions. And this perspective can be interpreted to extend beyond paintings.
Five hundred years ago, merchants confronted the two established orders :
the Red (priests) and the Black (soldiers). They created a third path, cleansed of dictates, for the proliferation of the arts – and perfume. Etat Libre d’Orange honors the sons and daughters of the Renaissance by offering a trail of insight and alliance for their skin.
Think of Lucifer – from the Latin roots, lux (light) and ferre (to hold) – the shining one, light-bearing, like Venus when appearing as the morning star. Half a millennium to wear on the skin, and in its wake the majestic memory of the rose, the power of spices and the sense of something precious. The story of mankind delivered to you in a perfume.

I’m obsessed with this scent and wear it all the time. I got it as a sample and decided to get the full bottle. The floral rose scent is pretty strong at first and it can be a bit much. But as it settles you get more of the other notes and it’s really lovely. It’s long-lasting which I love.
Took a while for it to arrive. Packing was great, not dents or damages. Smell great and a strong scent of floral, mulled wine, cacao and something else. But still good
This is the perfect spicy scent. Very warm and woody. Lasts long and I can’t get enough.
It’s got a Middle Eastern vibe that I love. Bought a full bottle after trying the sample size!
Excellent fragrance! Has a middle eastern vibe that I love.
