Basenoter: Chestnut Wood Accord, Bourbon Vetiver HE og Vinyl Gaiacol – MANE Biotech. And Frustration is what we need my friend.By the Vanilla I remain. A perfume is a mixture. A mixture like miscellanea that clash between words and materials to explain just a little, without explaining too much, the why of a perfume. Frustration. During a summer a few years ago, while walking on the Ramblas in Barcelona, I listened to a song by Rare Bird, an English band of progressive rock from the 70s. The song was called Sympathy, and the chorus was "and sympathy is what you need my friend, and sympathy is what you need my friend cause there's not enough love to go ‘round, No, there's not enough love to go ‘round...". And there, suddenly, with the richness of a whole psychoanalytical past (according to Lacan), this same past which sometimes foists my strength on others or sometimes my great weakness on myself, there emerged from the refrain a word stronger than sympathy. It planted its black flag of melancholy in the heart of my mind, and issued forth a word more correct, more vast, more true, more sincere, more useful since forged in the experience of life: FRUSTRATION. And then to sing again in my head the substituted refrain "...And frustration is what you need my friend, and frustration is what you need my friend." Frustration, the eldest daughter of renunciation and the sister of perfume, since perfume proceeds like frustration in the game of love. It gives by taking up, a fullness never satisfied, an enjoyment started but never achieved, an infinite movement of desire without completion, without apotheosis, an instillation that excites, seduces, lulls, dominates and annoys like a Bolero by Ravel. Frustration. So take a vanilla bean, a garden rose with swollen red petals, some old rum exploding with amber woods, a bourbon vetiver, bring each of these materials to your senses. Frustration. Breathe, taste the circulation of the unheard of beans, delectable fermentation but never enough, where one asks for more, all nostrils out, ... "More, more, let us take your redness deeper, and become this animal with the dull mind of the child who wants to enjoy and devour even more this chestnut wood, this cinnamon or this vetiver until bursting, and then to bathe satiated in the poetry of the smell." Frustration. This is the love game of perfume, this is the game of love according to Musset, Shakespeare or Racine. And it is so much the better because satisfaction kills whereas desire makes you live by creating movement through the ever renewed distance, so as to never consume like a homicidal ogre. Frustration. Happy are the consumers of desire, unhappy the consumers of enjoyment. Frustration, a perfume to awaken the strong child in the fragile adult or the fragile child in the too-strong adult, a perfume for a regressive journey to the dominion of vanilla, rum and vetiver. An extraordinary State of Orange that you have to reach in order to live passionately between the child and the adult with the memory of what’s missing.

Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Parfum Experimentum Crucis

Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Parfum Experimentum Crucis

Etat Libre d'Orange Experimentum Crucis er en dristig og sofistikert parfyme som inviterer deg til å utforske duftuniverset på en helt ny måte. Inspirert av Isaac Newtons banebrytende arbeid med lys og farger, er denne duften en hyllest til nysgjerrighet og vitenskapelig oppdagelse. Experimentum Crucis åpner med en forfriskende blanding av litchi, eple og spisskummen, som gir en umiddelbar følelse av energi og vitalitet. I hjertet av duften finner vi en harmonisk kombinasjon av rose, jasmin og honning, som tilfører en sensuell og forførende dimensjon. Basen er forankret i varme og jordnære noter av oud, patchouli og musk, som gir duften dybde og langvarighet. Toppnoter: Litchi, eple, spisskummen Hjertenoter: Rose absolute, Jasmine absolute, honning Basenoter: Oud, patchouli, musk 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.

A place that is like a frontier, where the old world ends and the new world begins. The pale moon can be seen lowering over the towers of Notre Dame in the distance. A man and a woman are in a perfumery, surrounded by bottles. He has yielded in submission to a fallen sovereign and is condemned to the ultimate fate. She is the new soul, the new role, she is desirable and she has conquered. She is the denunciation, a touch condescending. The fluttering of her eyelashes declares she is the one whose hour of glory has arrived, a scent testing blotter in hand.The date is November 16, 2019. "- EXIT THE KING, a perfume to dream of entropy? Etienne, you're rambling, you have finally lost your mind. Entropy has nothing to do with perfume. - Yes Lola, you heard correctly. EXIT THE KING, a perfume to dream about entropy. Don’t you think entropy is nice? - Perched on the scaffold before the guillotine, you speak these three words like a farewell to the troubled world.- There's nothing for you to understand, innocent child. This is about making a perfume like a Loire castle, a perfume that could rise higher than the castle of Blois, higher than the terrace where the last Valois watched the sun set in its glory. And then disappear, die, as if by magic before the fall. With the whisper of a kiss at the moment of its glory, and then a humble return to something else. A perfume of magnificence, love and goodness for the new world, and of forgetting the old and overwhelming powers. Resolutely chypre.- Welcome to the new world, you mean?- Yes Lola, provided it's modern and eternally chypre like this perfume."EXIT THE KING.

Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Parfum Sous le Pont Mirabeau

Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Parfum Sous le Pont Mirabeau

Etat Libre d'Orange Sous le Pont Mirabeau er en forførende og poetisk duft inspirert av kjærlighetens evige natur, med en hyllest til Guillaume Apollinaires ikoniske dikt. Den fanger essensen av Paris, med sine broer, elven Seine og den romantiske atmosfæren som gjennomsyrer byen. Duften åpner med friske og sprudlende noter av mandarin og bergamott, som gir en følelse av letthet og glede. I hjertet finner vi en delikat bukett av neroli og sjasmin, som tilfører en romantisk og forførende touch. Basen er forankret i varme og sensuelle noter av patchouli, vetiver og musk, som gir en langvarig og minneverdig avslutning. Sous le Pont Mirabeau er en sofistikert og tidløs duft som passer perfekt for både kvinner og menn. Den er ideell for den som ønsker en duft som uttrykker romantikk, eleganse og en dyp forbindelse til Paris' sjarm. Toppnoter: Italiensk Bergamot, Pure Pink Pepper Jungle Essence, Elemi, Fig Accord Hjertenoter: Superessens røkelse, Aquatic Accord, Ozonic Accord, Fiolettgrønn Basenoter: Virginia Cedar Upcycled, Vanilla Pure Jungle Essence, Sandeltre, Orcanox Upcycled, Musk L'espérance est violente.Mirabeau, what a pretty word, peculiarly Parisian, suspended above the Seine. It composes a memory, joins another bank, and returns by following its trail of sandalwood, pink bay and cedar. In the heart of the City of Light, on the way to the twilight of the day, there is a bridge, a poem and a perfume.A discreet and symbolic bridge, of the master-builder spirit which transcends borders, becoming better by coming together. Those solid foundations of cedar, sandalwood and orcanox span love and musk.A poem as slow as it is violent, expressing the brutal and desirable hope of the one who would like to believe, of the one who wants to love. Vanilla, I write your name on the water, with muffled traces of incense and violet green.A perfume to save us, fish us silently out of the water, bringing us above the Seine, our spirits on the water of our essences, bergamot and pink berry mingled with fig in a glass bottle, fiercely reuniting bodies in unison with souls, coming back to her by following her wake.------------------------------------------------------------------There are bridges where we dance: as children, we sang to them; some, where we fought, have had their names secured in history; others offer their architectual perfection to the admiration of generations. All are famous.But there is one that needed neither dances, nor battles, nor works of genius to impose itself on our memories: it is the Mirabeau Bridge. For this, twenty lines were enough.It must be said that they were written by a poet, and that his poem was about love, unhappy love. When Apollinaire composed it, the Marie he loved had left him. But we can only guess at their story, which he does not tell, and is it not the story of so many lovers? Love has fled, like water and like the days.The perfume which will bear the name of the Mirabeau Bridge had to translate its force, because it resists the flow of the Seine and time, it is the impassive witness as it underlines the final resumption of the first verse; but the delicacy of the fragrance, mixed with this base, conveys the melancholy of lost loves, while also imposing a sharp note suitable for testifying to the " violent hope. "This fusion of strength and gentleness realizes in him the bridge that is symbolic of the joined hands of Guillaume Apollinaire and Marie. But as it is for the poet himself, it is to the eternal history of the lovers that we are sent back. Not to those of the legends that death immortalizes, and whose passion transcends time, but to those loves, too human, that are believed to be eternal, which are lost one day, as inexorably as the river flows.Guillaume and Marie were certainly in love, but "the poet is a winged thing" said Plato – he flies away and is attracted by the captivating perfume of many flowers. But the young woman who is imagined to be weak and defenseless, is in reality a passionate being whose intense feelings refuse to share and exclude forgiveness. It is she who will break. Neither supplications nor the oaths of the poet will be able to change anything there.Thus he becomes for ever the one that the women he passionately loved have rejected. It is from the despair they aroused that the Chanson du Mal-Aimé and the Pont Mirabeau sprang. To them he will be able to say one day, in an appeased farewell:I picked this sprig of heatherThe autumn is dead remember itWe will not see each other again on earthSmell of time, sprig of heatherAnd remember that I am waiting for youParis, January 2022Suzanne Julliard-Agie & Etienne de Swardt

Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Parfum Ghost in the Shell

Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Parfum Ghost in the Shell

Etat Libre d'Orange Ghost in the Shell er en futuristisk og unik parfyme som utfordrer konvensjoner og tar deg med på en duftreise inn i en verden av teknologi og menneskehet. Inspirert av den ikoniske japanske anime-filmen med samme navn, fanger denne duften essensen av en verden der grensene mellom menneske og maskin viskes ut. Ghost in the Shell åpner med friske og sprudlende noter av yuzu og Aqual™, som gir en følelse av renhet og klarhet. Hjertet av duften byr på en fascinerende blanding av jasmin og en myk hudakkord som skaper en sensuell og forførende aura. I basen finner vi varme og jordnære noter av mose og Orcanox™, som gir duften dybde og langvarighet. Denne unisex-parfymen er perfekt for den som ønsker å skille seg ut fra mengden og uttrykke sin individualitet. Toppnoter: Aqual™, yuzu, Hexyl Acetate (pæreaktig duft) Hjertenoter: Jasmin absolutt, Mugan (MANE Biotech), Milky Skin Accord Basenoter: Mose, Vinyl Gaiacol, (MANE Biotech), Orcanox™ From the bottom of the matter, rise up. MERGER OF THE MATTER, BIRTH OF THE SPIRIT. It is a night of pale moonlight, a night toward the end of the 20th century, a night when the old world is ending and the new one is beginning. It is a night when one trembles to boldly lower the sacred cross against the heart, to aid in the passage to fatherhood.So, as a crucifix, that night I pick up Hyperion, a novel by Dan Simmons. This is a masterful science fiction saga that celebrates the infinite legend of the French Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who was a 20th-century researcher, paleontologist, theologian and philosopher.And I read, pacified, until the reflections of the dawn, until the first golden rays of the East. I read the future of man, the celebration of transhumanism and the qualitative leap of humanity enhanced by machine. I have rarely loved a book this much, I have rarely loved a thinker this much. I read that night what a man thought he saw in the tombs of time. I am a lover of words in the service of materials when they come together to make poetry in the bottom of our bottles; thus, a few years ago, I bring up the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to one of the last living vestiges of the triumphant 20th century, and I ask him: - "Then Teilhard de Chardin, precursor of genius?" A look, a silence and for the answer four unexpected words, four words whispered by my father: "GHOST IN THE SHELL".This is the act of birth that makes the spirit of perfume. The rest is poetry to live on the skin. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin died in 1955, but his spirit continues to travel. This fragrance extends it through an alliance with the Japanese artist Shirow Masamune to transcend the spirit of Earth. By mixing biotech and natural materials, this perfume silently celebrates the wake of the future and also whispers of a day to come, by providence or chance, when humanity is reunited and organized. A day when all consciousness is summoned by the infosphere to constitute a superior being and pass from the inert to the living. As the molecules assemble to make the living, we will then make a qualitative leap that becomes the starting point and arrival of transhumanism. This perfume is the future. It comes to us from the 20th century. The Ghost in the Shell, a perfume that speaks of the human phenomenon and its paradox, a perfume to wear on oneself ab libitum, at one’s pleasure. A perfume as a propagation towards the other, that makes you the axis and the arrow of evolution; modern, indeed! From the bottom of the matter, rise up. Etienne de Swardt

Toppnoter: Grapefrukt, Champagne Accord, Kardemomme Hjertenoter: Jasmin, Curry Neo Jungle Essence, Black Pepper Basenoter: Labdanum, Sandeltre, Lorenox For every epoch, for every era, there are remarkable people. In classical mythologies, there were the demigods, the offspring of a god and a human, or a mortal who was raised to divine status. An ancient Greek poet used the word demigod as a synonym for hero. They demonstrated strength and power, a willingness to face challenges and confront danger. In the New World, there were the explorers, who discovered unknown lands. They were heroes too, battling forces of nature to find new territories. And throughout history — scientists, artists, composers, entertainers — all heroes in their own way. New heroes are born every day. There is an element, or an event, or a circumstance, or maybe just a quirk in their personalities that changes them, empowers them, enables them to transcend the ordinary. They believe in something different, something better. They want to change the rules, break the rules, alter the status quo, in whatever grand or small way they find meaningful. They are on a journey, and maybe it’s the effort alone that makes them remarkable. For some, their efforts bring fame and glory. Many others remain unknown. But they cannot — they should not — be ignored. These are our people — the remarkable citizens of Etat Libre d’Orange, the Orange Free State. The “un” people — uncompromising, unexpected, unconventional, unpredictable. We salute them, we honor them, by offering the extraordinary fragrance they deserve.

Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Parfum You or Someone Like You

Etat Libre d'Orange You or Someone Like You er en frisk og sofistikert duft som fanger essensen av Los Angeles. Den er en hyllest til individualitet og den evige jakten på drømmer, inspirert av byens pulserende energi og den californiske livsstilen. Duften åpner med en forfriskende blanding av mynte, grapefrukt og bergamott, som gir en umiddelbar følelse av energi og optimisme. Hjertet byr på en delikat blanding av grønne noter, solbær, rose og hedione, som tilfører en sofistikert og elegant touch. Basen er forankret i myk hvit musk, som gir en ren og sensuell avslutning. You or Someone Like You er en allsidig duft som passer perfekt for både kvinner og menn. Den er ideell for den som ønsker en duft som er både frisk og sofistikert, og som uttrykker en selvstendig og drømmende personlighet. “The raw materials are completely irrelevant. The work is the work. If you need to know what it’s made of, don’t wear it; You is not for you.” — Chandler Burr In On the Road, Jack Kerouac wrote, “LA is the loneliest and most brutal of American cities.” It’s the city described by Woody Allen’s character in Annie Hall as the city where “the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.”But they come, the dreamers, for the sunshine and the possibilities, to this land of opportunity, where hope springs eternal. Whatever they’re searching for — happiness, love, money, fame — the temptations lure them deeper and deeper into this concrete paradise.Does Los Angeles have a scent? It’s impossible to say. But Chandler Burr knows Los Angeles. And Chandler Burr knows perfume. So we decided to collaborate on a fragrance that an LA woman might wear. And we gave it the name of Chandler’s novel, set in Los Angeles.And you dreamers, with your dreams — you might flourish, you might wither, but you don’t give up. You keep coming, or you think about coming, and sometimes you stay.Because someday, someone just might be looking for you, pointing at you, wanting you. Or someone like you.“A few years ago I wrote a novel called You Or Someone Like You set in Los Angeles. Its central character is a woman, Anne Rosenbaum, who lives in the Hollywood Hills with her husband, Howard, a movie studio executive. Like so many of the homes up the fantastical curves and canyons of the Hills they look down on LA’s Downtown skyscrapers and the concrete ribbon of the 101 freeway, across Mid-Wilshire and Robertson, the glass towers of Century City, and, on clear days, over the 405 to Santa Monica and the placid, blue Pacific. And always the palm trees, imported and planted in LA in the early 20th century, ‘just as I am an import,’ Anne observes, ‘now indigenous.’ Anne is English, born in Hammersmith, London.“As many have observed, Los Angeles is not a city. It is a state of mind. A strange amalgam of places and languages. Los Angeles is rivers of cement highways and infinite strips of asphalt, traffic, and despite or because of it all one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth, a natural beauty made by nature and molded by people, cobalt sky and the greens and tans of the desert parks, ocean fog, the white and delicate pale yellow jasmine and honeysuckle flowers that grow up parking signs reading ‘Permit Parking Only Violators Will Be Towed.’“This scent is very specific. When Etienne de Swardt approached me about creative directing a fragrance whose name would be the title of my novel, I told my perfumer, Caroline Sabas, that we were creating the fragrance Anne would wear. She is also very specific. Coolly crisply English, covered in but untouched by the silver, materialistic movie industry, literary, somewhat removed.“You Or Someone Like You is not the ‘scent of LA’ or ‘the smell of the Hollywood Hills captured.’ It is not one of those olfactory synecdoches. It is, on the other hand, stylistically and in its technical construction what a Los Angeles woman would wear in my view. Caroline and I discussed this at each step during the creation process. It is contemporary, 21st century. It is LA, whatever that means, though in part it means the norms a scent would follow in a meeting at one of the agencies near Wilshire, at a studio, at a lunch in Bel Air or dinner off Beverly Drive. (The raw materials are completely irrelevant. The work is the work. If you need to know what it’s made of, don’t wear it; You is not for you.)“My fictional Anne wears it; so presumably do thousands of other women. It represents her only in the way all such choices represent us. What it will be to you is for you to decide, obviously.”— Chandler BurrYou or Someone Like You is a welcoming fragrance: neither off-putting nor strange. It is a contemporary creation built around timeless materials.It embodies the women of LA — someone like Anne Rosenbaum: cool and crisp; once foreign but now indigenous; very exposed to Hollywood’s silver screen dreams yet untouched by its materialistic machinery. Anne finds comfort in literature, and the garden of her

Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Parfum Les Fleurs du Déchet - I am Trash

Etat Libre d'Orange Eau de Parfum Les Fleurs du Déchet - I am Trash

En duft av paradokser. Etat Libre d'Orange "I am Trash - Les Fleurs du Déchet" er en ukonvensjonell og fascinerende duft som utfordrer konvensjonelle forestillinger om parfyme. Inspirert av ideen om resirkulering og fornyelse, er denne duften en hyllest til skjønnheten som kan finnes i det uventede. "I am Trash" åpner med friske, fruktige noter av eple som raskt utvikler seg til et hjerte av delikate blomster, inkludert rose. Duften er forankret i en varm base av sedertre, sandeltre og akigalawood, som gir en unik og uforglemmelig karakter. Denne parfymen er perfekt for den som tør å være annerledes og som ønsker en duft som vekker oppsikt. Med sin unike blanding av friskhet, blomster og treaktige noter, er "I am Trash" en duft som vil vare lenge og etterlate et varig inntrykk. Toppnoter: Eple, bitter appelsin, grønn mandarin Hjertenoter: Rose absolute, Iso E Super, jordbær Basenoter: Sedertre, sandalore, oud The most wanted scent made from the unwanted. By virtue of my mother, I am the son of a forgotten coast, far away in New Caledonia. At the mouth of the Ngoye live the Borindi, who have known since the twilight of the gods the great principle of harmony with Mother Nature: to take from her no more than is necessary while preserving for tomorrow. They understand the future of mankind, and in the shade of the niaouli tree and jacarandas in bloom, they guide our first steps into this new direction for Etat Libre d’Orange. In the early years of this new millennium, when my children were young and I was a hopeful thirty-year-old, I took them to see an animated film called Titan AE. I learned by heart the introduction, which went something like this: “Once in a while, man unlocks a secret so profound that it can change the universe: fire, electricity, atom splitting. At the dawn of the 21st century, we invented the Titan program . . . ” There is a jumble of romantic and titanic science fiction poetry that emerges from the slow, sure, and inevitable rocking of wastewaters in the industrial cycle. We want to make this perfume a messenger, in service not only to the survival of the species which results from seduction, but above all in service to the planet where our own miasmas must reflect beauty. We believe that a new post-religious “jihad” is approaching, coming from an often disillusioned and polluting West, and echoing a new animistic era. Those who have committed crimes against the environment are repenting, and democracies are acknowledging nature as the sacred focal point, meant to be shared. The beliefs of the primitive and ancient tribes are back, and demand our full allegiance. This perfume will carry a universal message: that which is dirty must reflect the beautiful, “…and wash me clean of the bluish wine stains and the splashes of vomit, Carrying away both rudder and anchor.” (Arthur Rimbaud, The Drunken Boat.) Les Fleurs du Déchet represents a passage to the adulthood of Sécrétions Magnifiques. It is a counter-revolution for Etat Libre d’Orange, still noisy and disruptive, but ultimately functional. Givaudan, Ogilvy and Etat Libre d’Orange have created a three-fold company in the service of Mother Nature, to offer her a bouquet of forgiveness and let everyone know – loudly and quickly – that soon it will be too late. Dear world: Do not throw anything away because at the bottom of our trash lies the fermented distillation of great love. The garbage trucks hold flowers that can still bleed, the peels and rinds that can still give. The noxious exhalations have honey notes that can merge with the earth. And there are so many floating concretions, the trash that is thrown into the sea, and the natural waste, the ambergris, mystical symbols, the attitudes of primitive tribes – these must now be reprocessed. To paraphrase and distort Alan Paton: Cry, my beloved planet, for the unborn child; let him not love the earth too deeply, for it is slipping away. So before it’s too late, let us (s)pray to the god of waste, our dear lord of leftovers. End of sermon. This is a messianic fragrance (in natural spray, of course.) — Etienne de Swardt
