Okay, we know what you’re thinking. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. Apocalyptic visions, Armageddon. Doomsday cults, mass suicides. The Mayan calendar. We endured the panic of the Millennium. We’ve seen the films, from “Dr. Strangelove” to “Melancholia”. We know the New Testament prophecies, we’ve heard about the End Times and the Rapture.

But one question remains: how will it smell?

What Sweet Fern thinks..?
We love a great Gourmand and this is one with a difference.  Buttery pop-corn mixed with iris, spice and gunpowder are very suprising notes to find in a fragrance.   Together,  they really blend magically well together and make this fragrance unique, very wearable and never disturbing the peace.  We love this unique fragrance which can only be built on freedom of expression as this house practices in each of its fragrances.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded by Etienne de Swardt in 2006, Etat Libre d’Orange is an ambitious, audacious perfume house. Its name meaning “Free Orange State”

A perfumer for LVMH for many years before going rogue, Etienne de Swardt founded Etat Libre d’Orange with a view to turn the commercial fragrance industry on its head. Its launch certainly made waves, not only due to the raunchy fragrance names, but for the compositions themselves.
