Evoking a fragment of amber resin picked up by Serge Lutens during a wander through the souks of Marrakech, which lay forgotten for years inside a thuja wood box, this perfume marks a return to a focus on the identity and authenticity of unique ingredients.

"This fragrance is not an Oriental, but an Arab and a Lutens. That being the case, don't expect it to fit in. The point of departure was a scented wax, found in a souk and long forgotten in a wooden box. The amber only became sultanesque after I reworked the composition using cistus, an herb that sticks to the fingers like tar, then added an overtone that nobody had ever dreamed of: vanilla. "

To save us by the rose. No more, no less.

From the Marquis de Sade to Vaslav Nijinsky, to the poet Rumi and Tilda Swinton,to Sécrétions Magnifiques. Fat Electrician, Victor Hugo, Tom of Finland and Putain des Palaces all other Remarkable People; our perfumes are messengers of light combatting darkness and ignorance.

For twelve years, Etat Libre d’Orange has been celebrating enlightenment through an awareness of beauty, goodness, sensitivity and intelligence. Our house has welcomed humankind in all its forms, as long as they try to contribute to The Perspective – the Renaissance concept of three dimensions in art which allowed for more realistic and profound depictions. And this perspective can be interpreted to extend beyond paintings.

Five hundred years ago, merchants confronted the two established orders :the Red (priests) and the Black (soldiers). They created a third path, cleansed of dictates, for the proliferation of the arts – and perfume. Etat Libre d’Orange honors the sons and daughters of the Renaissance by offering a trail of insight and alliance for their skin.

Think of Lucifer – from the Latin roots, lux (light) and ferre (to hold) – the shining one, light-bearing, like Venus when appearing as the morning star. Half a millennium to wear on the skin, and in its wake the majestic memory of the rose, the power of spices and the sense of something precious. The story of mankind delivered to you in a perfume

The stopover by Paolo and Tiziana describes this magical land, so beautiful and wild, full of contradictions and weaknesses, but also full of strength and generosity, exactly like the exquisite fragrance it inspires. We are in the Gulf of Sorrento, sailing through the beautiful, characteristic islands which make it the only one of its kind in the world. Suddenly, the silhouette of Capri rises out of nowhere, and a little further along, it is followed by Procida and its legendary neighbour Ischia. The fragrance is inspired by the cool evenings in the salty sea air spent on a road trip through this land which is fruit of a centuries-old tradition, with its strong, bold flavours and its heavenly, divine scents. The essence of a roaring fire lit on a pitch black night at the top of the Zaro cliffside on Punta Caruso on the Island of Ischia. Cliffs which drop sharply into the sea, looking towards the Gulf. A night with no lights, in a darkness darker than the black of night, lit only by the sizzling of the bonfire and by the dim light of the spitting ember which breaks the silence of nature; a cool, scented wind rises around Paolo and Tiziana, a wind that encompasses all the aromas of the Mediterranean bush, so full of beauty and history. This is when the famous Sorrento Citrus Fruits are first perceived, with lemons and bergamot oranges, contrasted by the spice Thyme against a backdrop of juniper berries and English lavender. The heart notes beat strong with sophisticated, precious flowers such as Ylang-Ylang and Hyacinth, artfully matched with irreverent Cardamom and sweet white musk. The hint of salt from the sea blends the perfume, creating a sense of unique freshness, which draws strength as it is grafted into the notes provided by powerful Sandal, Cuban Cedar and precious red Patchouli woods, mixed with Oak Musk. An exquisite fragrance that will lift you up and gently blow you across the surface of the sea water on its enveloping, mellow notes, cool and generous but at the same time warm and kind; a sensual, alluring creation, with a simple beauty that echoes the immense beauty of nature and of our splendid homeland. This precious bottle guards all the emotion of a night spent in the gulf of Sorrento, enjoying the salty emotion of the northwest wind, with the famous notes of O Sole Mio playing in the background… wear this fragrance with your eyes closed to see your inner beauty!

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 Burr

You 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 home, which nestles in the hills overlooking downtown LA.

The scent represents her only in the way all such choices represent us. It can be concrete, like a beautiful green rose. Yet, it can be abstract, just like an Erik Satie composition for it is a puzzle so mysterious that it is difficult to unravel

Sovereign, Jubilee, Enthrone, Defender, Majestic, Empire, Consort, Imperial and Resplendent are some examples and it all loops back to Boadicea, the Iceni warrior queen who rebelled against the Roman army 

Every perfume collection has fragrances that perhaps slip under the radar, making them somehow more rewarding and pleasurable to re-discover. Monarch is one such example. A stealthy warm and comforting scent with layers of resins, woods, oud, spices, leather, floral notes and a gorgeous opening of red ripe berries, artemisia, black tea and cypress. 

The heart flowers are a beautiful arrangement of heady roses and jasmine complimented by the fresher peppery notes of freesia and creamy lily of the valley. Lushness meets purity, exalted skilfully by pink pepper, cardamon and a whisper of cinnamon. 

Monarch was inspired by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, sadly no longer with us. Her unwavering sense of duty, fortitude and commitment to her kingdom and subjects. It is always impressive that someone as documented as the Queen was also a huge enigma. It is a near impossible feat to placate those who demand access, transparency and modernisation with die hard royalists who see her and her family as an extension of their own, projecting lives, loves and loss on a royal family that by its very nature remains inscrutable and bound to centuries of tradition. 

Rehab by Initio Parfums Prives is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Rehab was launched in 2018. Top notes are Lavender and Bergamot; middle notes are Cedar, Vetiver and Patchouli; base notes are Sandalwood, Musk and Guaiac Wood.

REHAB is a sensory sanctuary, a reset to the physical body. Without a facade, it unveils a raw symphony of natural ingredients. A sparkling burst of Bergamot and Black Pepper mingle with soothing Lavender and an intriguing hint of spice. Resting on a foundation of creamy Sandalwood and velvety Musk, the result is an olfactory creation that is both delicate and deeply enveloping. REHAB soothes the physical body, paving the way for true serenity - a fragrance that resonates as deeply as it lingers.
