Une amourette

Spicy, Woody

Une Amourette was created to do for you what an original, unique and refined dress can do. This is perfumed fashion.

Is it a passing idea, a momentary glance, a brief encounter, or something else? Will it last, will it last forever? Does it really matter? This is the moment, this is what it feels like.

We at Etat Libre d'Orange have always been intrigued by the relationship between fashion and perfumes. Associations and relationships between the two are common and many fashion houses have developed fragrances that relate to their brand in some way. And a few years ago, Etienne had the opportunity to create this link for Etat Libre d'Orange.

One evening, a certain designer came to visit me and discussed the possibility of creating a fragrance that reflected his collection.
He has a face, a voice that I like, class to spare, disturbing when he looks at you and then he is a beautiful soul nourished by the limelight of the 80s like Wild Nights, Tainted Love and the eternal and still modern rhythms of Soft Cell.

He is a man of the border and this suits our House very, very well, which ironically manages double nature, double language and gender confusion as a precious roughness to wear next to the skin; He needed a perfume that recalled his history, that of mixed blood rubbed as a child in the sun of Lourdes, mixed with the values ​​and traditions of his motherland, the Alma Mater where they believe in miracles and the salvation of the soul and which makes good men know best of all the price of a pound of bloody flesh between Shakespeare and the butcher's shop. And all this goes away at 18, a small town boy and Apollo forces Paris and then London to skillfully capitalize on his beautiful aesthetics and the talent of the hands that assemble and think the factories.
An innate sense of relational capabilities and the sublimation of silhouettes so that bodies reign supreme, since for him, as for us, women are the future of men. In his savoir-faire and his sense of thrill there is a sublime completion of seduction techniques, a true aesthetic of combat, struggle and passion, and this is well suited to a perfume that pushes the Proustian myth of the Madeleine in the mouth, a Lover with a heart and a body whose fleshy flavors and distant and delicious echoes of loss and renunciation are well known.

And then, for the success of a perfume at the Etat Libre d'Orange, a skilful hand-to-hand between two beautiful souls is needed and Daniela went so well with it that it went well with him too. An alchemy in which the best worlds, materials and talents between France and England mix, forever linked to each other well beyond one hundred years in a carousel of love to feel alive and never forget that Une Amourette does not It's never too beautiful when you know in advance what life will last.

In the following days, when we were sober and realistic, we all realized that it was not the right time. But we have never forgotten that extraordinary evening and the ideas that came from it. And it was inevitable that the concept of fashion and perfume would remain with us. As a designer, we believe in bold aesthetics, provocation, sensuality. We want our creations to allow customers to define themselves or become someone else. A designer drapes bodies, we drape skin. We use the same words: fusion, structure, magic, eroticism.

Une Amourette was created to do for you what an original, unique and refined dress can do. This is perfumed fashion.
