Chodź ze mną, by sens nadać życia krokom. "

I was born to answer this question

You or Someone Like You (refreshing mint mojito poured on a sun-warmed freshly clipped lawn next to a budding rose bush) This is my summer fragrance. It is unlike anything and I’m so intoxicated by it. On my skin it dries to a clean lavender. It’s phenomenal and lives in my purse.

Yess Rien. Rien is leather and jet fuel and recycled cabin air, worn orange canvas, polyester straps, with a hint of clean boi smell. Poe Dameron 10000%

Marquis De Sade Attaquer Le Soleil Do you wanna smell like a redwood tree in a Northern California heatwave?? Because this is that. It’s sooo resinous and divine. I am a sucker for that woody incense. It’s such a competent smelling fragrance. You’d smell like you have many leather bound books and all your socks match. It’s a solid base perfume for layering lighter florals or citrus on top too.

The Spice Must Flow Duke Leto. My winter fragrance. This is a head turner, people will compliment you and ask you what you’re wearing. the oud, the desert rose, and the incense are so high quality, this lasts a super long time especially if you spray it on your scarves or wool sweaters. It’s classy and perfect for winter get togethers. It has a Royal regal air to it. Miranda Preistly would totally wear this, ykwim?

I bought a sampler box from Etat Libre d'Orange since I got a sample of 'She was an Anomaly' like 2 years ago and still love it.

Their well known fragrance 'Fat Electrician' smells like the best mix of cinnamon, cloves and WD-40. Very comfy, thick and warm. It's like a fuckin well worn leather arm chair. This smells like an old hardcover book. This is butch-gender for sure, imo.

My beloved 'She was an Anomaly' smells like neon colored synthetic Plum with maybe a touch of mint/eucalyptus and estrogen. This is chardonnay and strawberry. It knows it's fake(?) and is FUCKING proud of it. This is a trans/nonbinary scent for sure. This is hyper-pop, this is an Alice Gas song, sweet-tarts. This is distorted Hello-Kitty meme edits.

'Eau de Protection - Rossy de Palma' is maybe my new favorite and smells of bergamot and black pepper and quite frankly Blood. It's fucking great. It hangs around and has a metallic sharpness like a switchblade in your pocket. One of my favorite smells is black pepper so I'm biased.

Eau de Protection Etat Libre D’Orange

Floral

This magic potion, this instrument of transformation, could only be made by the crushing of armfuls of roses.

Roses with thorny stems that yield lavish blossoms, lush petals, outrageous, puffed-up fantasies, trembling with the sweat of impatience and desire. Roses, red with blood, a piercing note leaving the flavor of fire on lips that suck the finger pricked by a thorn.

A bleeding rose. A candy rose. A rose that tastes of fresh milk, a talcum powdered baby’s bottom, a wealth of sugared kisses. At Etat Libre d’Orange, the Virgin rarely wanders far from the Whore. Perhaps she is one and the same. Warmed by the fire of this woman, the noses have embraced a fanciful vision. They have created for her a perfume of protection, a refuge on the battlefield of love. Defensive yet transparent, Eau de Protection conceals as it reveals. For her, a caress is demanded, while those around her are struck with awe. The noses have extracted that which is most profound in her, the essence of her. They have distilled her honey and squeezed the juice from her heart.
