EtatLibre d’Orange (”The Free State of Orange”) is a French perfume line, “a land of olfactory liberality, free from every taboo, where insubordination and olfactory eroticism reign supreme”.

Created as a “declaration of independence” in a world of commercialized fragrance, this is perfumery’s most libertine. The EtatLibre d’Orange boutique, located in the Upper Marais in Paris, offers perfumes unfettered by conventions. Hotel Slut,  Boots & Whips, Magnificent Secretions, Real Blonde, Praise of the Traitor and Delicious Closet Queen, are some of the erotic and provocative names of these unusual fragrances. This brand is really for those who use perfume as a powerful tool of seduction and the fact that you must be over 18 to purchase some of their fragrances is only slightly ridiculous and amusing. We also love their website.
