A Triad of Olfactory Adventures: Etat Libre d'Orange's Innovative Perfume Stories - Sous Le Pont Mirabeau, Nostos, and Clean Suede

Etat Libre d'Orange, the avant-garde perfume house, unveils an olfactory journey that transcends time and space, introducing three enchanting fragrances that transport wearers to diverse realms of emotion and experience. From the iconic bridge of Paris to the nostalgia of ancient Greece and the promise of a new day, each scent tells a distinctive story, bound to captivate the senses and the soul.





Sous Le Pont Mirabeau


"Under the Mirabeau Bridge" beckons a fragrance that immortalizes the Parisian landmark and the emotions it holds. Inspired by Guillaume Apollinaire's poignant poem, Sous Le Pont Mirabeau encapsulates the unyielding spirit of the bridge through the harmonious blend of cedar and sandalwood. This olfactory creation is a love story in itself, harmonizing the yearning for love with the bridge's timeless strength. Energizing notes of bergamot, pink pepper, and fig evoke the Seine's gentle current, while the interplay of aquatic and ozonic elements dance with cedar wood and sandalwood. Musk, vanilla, and orcanox, the essence of exhausted clary sage, infuse a musky and powdery essence, unveiling a fragrance as evocative as the verses it draws inspiration from.





Nostos


Ancient Greece's concept of 'nostos' – the art of returning – becomes a fragrant voyage through time with Nostos eau de parfum. Etat Libre d'Orange delves into the essence of memory, pairing mandarin, rose, jasmine, saffron, and sandalwood to evoke the vivid recollections of youthful summers. The blend expands with incense, oud, Georgywood, Ambrofix, suede, and musk, crafting an aromatic narrative that embraces the profound connection between scent and memory. As 'nostalgia' finds its root in 'nostos,' this fragrance awakens the nostalgia residing within us all.





Clean Suede


The promise of a new dawn emerges in Clean Suede, an olfactory embodiment of hope and renewal. Aldehydes and lemon unfurl as the fragrance's first rays, cleansing the night's slate and illuminating the wearer's spirit. At its heart, the scent transforms into a forest symphony with birch leaves, cypress, galbanum, and pine notes, inviting the embrace of nature's tranquility. The fragrance embarks on a transformative journey with base notes of vanilla, Ambre Gris, and suede, guiding us toward boundless horizons.




Etat Libre d'Orange masterfully weaves narratives with scent, crafting perfumes that transcend the confines of the bottle. Sous Le Pont Mirabeau, Nostos, and Clean Suede unite in their uniqueness, inviting wearers to embark on fragrant voyages – from the rivers of Paris to the corridors of memory and the expanse of possibilities that each new day brings. In each bottle, a tale unfolds, a memory awakens, and a journey begins anew.
