Mood

A CHAMELEONTIC WATER.

Adapt to each person's body. Lay down your weapons. Pledge allegiance. Accept transparency. Like a chameleon, changing color. As it comes, change mood. Merge with the environment. Impose yourself less. Fascinating more. A story of water that adapts to the skin.

Cologne immediately conquers thanks to the irresistible freshness of blood orange and bergamot. The citrus touch and the natural, sparkling and crunchy slightly green facet give the note a modern originality. The fragrance then leads us into a floral heart of orange blossom and jasmine which adds depth and consistency, going beyond the vaporous dimension of traditional cologne. Finally, the musky accord of the base note offers, with its fluidity and transparency, a melting and sweet effect, which creates addiction...

General state

A MONOCHROME WATER.

Cologne by Etat Libre d'Orange is a monochrome water. Conciliatory. Consenting. A delicious, ambitious eau de Cologne, but always and only an eau de Cologne. Explosive, brilliant, slightly faceted, fresh and attractive, round and palpable, of the right, balanced intensity. Faithful, sincere. A compelling presence. Water that lasts and makes pleasure last.



Mood

THE WATER OF THE FIRST TIMES.

Cologne d'Etat Libre d'Orange is the water of the first times. Of the first date. The first touches, the uncertainty. The desire to please, the hope of seducing. The meeting of two desires. The bodies look for each other, but fear meeting. They want and don't want at the same time. Before they get to know each other, they keep their distance. They send clear signals while trying to remain discreet as much as possible. The contact of two skins. Breaking the ice, protection. Hold on and then let go. First time. An initiation, an abandonment to pleasure. Embark. Let yourself be invited into the world of Etat Libre d'Orange. Discover the rules. Learn the codes and accept them. Feel at home. And stay.


Site inspection

BRILLIANT.

A brilliant white opaque glass, an iridescent emblem that sparkles: the bottle of Cologne d'Etat Libre d'Orange makes fun of its own conformism. It catches the eye and then disappears and leaves room for the fragrance. For its cologne, Etat Libre d'Orange has imagined a luminous and bewitching creation. The brightness is released by ingredients of exceptional quality and modernity, by the delicate contrast between the freshness of a slightly green citrus note and the depth of its floral heart. The bewitching character emerges from the sweetness of the musk and the refinement of a leather accord as a base note.
