IN NICE SCENT.

There comes a day when a perfume house must confront an essential style exercise: Cologne.

When we call ourselves the Free State of Orange, and we make rupture its rule, the temptation is great to take the opposite approach, to seek the twist, the originality, the extravagance. It’s a temptation that you have to know how to resist. The Cologne of Etat Libre d'Orange had to be a beautiful, simple, great cologne, which is not afraid to say its name and humbly strives to be part of a tradition. It takes a lot of work to achieve simplicity. Lots of false leads to find the right path. And then suddenly, Cologne is there. A Cologne that smells good.
A nice scent.



Mindset
CHAMELEON WATER.

Stand aside in front of your subject. Throw down the weapons. Make allegiance. Accept transparency. Like a chameleon, change color. As it comes, change of mood. Blend with the environment. Impose less. Charm more. A story of water that adapts to the skin.



Condition
MONOCHROME WATER.

Etat Libre d'Orange Cologne is a monochrome water. Conciliating. Consenting. A delicious, ambitious Cologne, but only a Cologne. Fusing, brilliant, barely faceted, fresh and attractive, round and evident, of the right intensity, balanced. Faithful, sincere. An endearing presence. Water that lasts and makes the pleasure last.



State of mind
THE FIRST WATER.

Etat Libre d'Orange Cologne is a first-time eau, a first-time eau. First date. First touches, uncertainty. The desire to please, the hope of seducing. The meeting of two desires. Bodies seek each other, perhaps fear finding each other. We want and we don't want. Before knowing yourself, remain reserved. Send clear signs, which we would like to be discreet. The contact of two skins. Breaking the ice, protection. Restraint to the point of abandonment. First time. An initiation, a pass for pleasure. Board. Enter the Orange Free State as a guest. Learn the rules. Learn the codes. Subscribe to them. Feel at home. And stay there.

State of play
BRIGHT.

A white and shiny opaque glass, a roundel that sparkles and becomes iridescent, the bottle of Cologne d'Etat Libre d'Orange enjoys its own conformism. And plays it in major to disappear behind the scent. For Cologne, Etat Libre d'Orange imagined a creation that was both evident - by highlighting ingredients of exceptional quality and modernity - by the subtle contrast between the freshness of a citrus note slightly green and the depth of its floral heart, and addictive — by the sweetness of musks and the sophistication of a leather accord in the background.

The Cologne immediately conquers with the irresistible freshness of Blood Orange and Bergamot; worked with a zesty side, their slightly natural, sparkling and crunchy green facet brings a modern originality to the note. It takes us towards a floral heart, Orange Blossom and Jasmine, which gives the Cologne depth and texture, beyond the vaporous dimension of traditional cologne. Finally, the musky accord which marks the base with its fluidity and transparency, gives the note a melting and sweet, addictive effect...
