Etat Libre d'Orange TOM of Finland EDP 50ml

This is a fresh, pure water that can wash away the sins of the night. Clothing becomes merely ornamental, an insignificant 

This is a man who wants to play, to love, to ravish, and to be free of all inhibitions. Tom is sex. 

The water slips over him as if sliding down a marble rock, sinking into the grooves of his muscles, vanishing into his pores. This is fresh, pure water, with top notes of aldehydes and lemon, a water that washes away the sins of the night and leaves the skin luminous. Tom of Finland feels clean, like a shaving from a cake of soap. It is an ode to the beauty of the male body and to the radiance of the natural self.

For this man, clothing becomes a jewel-case that serves to reveal the true erotic power of the flesh. Tom of Finland is a breath of fresh air, offering unrestricted access to the immense outdoors, the depths of the forest, with notes of birch leaves, cypress, galbanum and pine at its heart. Straight, gay… These words are irrelevant here. Tom of Finland is beyond sexuality — he is sex, in all its fullness and magnitude, open and erect. Fantasy clings to him like his leather jacket, with suede, musk, and ambergray in the base notes. His belt is fastened with an accord of pepper and spicy-fresh saffron, tangled with a blond suede sensuality on a vanilla bed of tonka bean and iris. This is a man who wants to play, to love, to die and be reborn, again and again. Tom of Finland is a tribute to tomorrow’s glorious possibilities.

Composition : Aldehyde, lemon, birch leaves, pine, safraleine, pepper, cypress, galbanum, geranium, vanilla, tonka bean, iris, vetyver, pyrogened styrax, suede, musk, gray amber...

ETAT LIBRE D'ORANGE
Etat Libre d’Orange is an ambitious, audacious perfumery. Liberated. Free to create. Free to love and be loved. This is a different kind of perfumery, with a point of view.
A whimsical perfumery that uses irony to hone the names of its scents. A spirited perfumery that shakes up prejudices and stirs up ambiguities. A perfumery that plays with ideas and reinvents the pleasures to be found in the sense of smell, through sublime juices. These are juices composed from living matter that fuses with the skin so they can only belong to the person who wears them. Juices that are fashioned without constraint or compromise. Juices that are designed to disturb, to touch, to tempt. And seduce, seduce, seduce. Juices that are created to extend the confines of perfume, to overcome the forbidden, to break the rules. To rebel. To exist, at last.

===================

MORE THAN A FRAGRANCE, A STATE OF MIND.
Etat Libre d’Orange currently presents a collection of more than 30 fragrances — all aspirational, all essential. With an emphasis on originality, audacity, authenticity and freedom of expression, Etat Libre d’Orange proposes surprising olfactory compositions, without any limitations in terms of creativity nor raw materials.

A perfume house with its singularity, its sincerity, unexpected, sometimes ironic, often subversive, and always elegant.

===================

MORE THAN A SIGNATURE, AN ESSENCE.
Etat Libre d’Orange is a declaration of independence. Perfumes for life and love and making love.
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 honour his birthplace and what it represents. In South Africa, Etat Libre d’Orange (the Orange Free State) was a land of staggeringly rough beauty and colour and unforgettable smells, a nation of contrasts, strong feelings, and mixed emotions. The rainbow mosaic of people and cultures gave it an unpredictable, sometimes savage nature. Unity, beauty and freedom, the hallmarks of our company. Welcome to freedom.

THE BOTTLE & THE SYMBOL.
A simple bottle — solid, serious, attractive — holds the true creativity.

The three coloured rosette is a symbol of liberty. A proclamation of difference. It appears as a seal, a commitment, on the sharp edge of all the bottles.

The bottle fades away in front of the juice, the superfluous leaves the place to the essential. To the essence.
