A new form of creation, where nature and technology meet and complement each other.
A fusion of liquid scented Aqual ™and Yuzu bring to life a citrusy metallic freshness. This is a metaphor for human flesh, as the velvety skin and juicy fruiti ne ss of peach intertwine with Hexyl Acetate, an enigmatic
ingredient derived from biotechnology, with the scent of a green, melting pear.
The precious soul of jasmine is embodied through contact with Mugane ™, a research molecule booster of floral vibrancy. The heart becomes humanized with a nourishing accord that replicates the sc ent of milk and skin.
A hybrid, superhuman body, between natural and synthetic, whose vital force is born from the power of amber woods and the chrome minerals of moss. A duality animated by the carnal imprint of Vinyl Gaiacol ,
duplicating the amber and animal biotechnological DNA of vanilla.
"When Etienne de Swardt created his house of perfume in 2006, it was only right and natural for him to give it this name, to honor his birthplace and what it represents.
In South Africa, Etat Libre d’Orange, the Orange Free State, was an autonomous sovereign republic which declared independence from British rule in 1854. Etat Libre d’Orange is a declaration of this independence. Etienne formed his own house with the idea of starting a revolution. He wanted to create a challenging perfumery, to emancipate juices from traditional restrictions. He envisioned perfumes that were furiously liberated, dangerously endearing. Flamboyant, excessive, perfect. Sometimes scandalous, always delicious. Perfumes for life and love and making love."
