Is it a passing fancy, a momentary glance, a brief encounter or something else? Will it last, will it last forever? Does it really matter? This is now, this is what you feel.
At Etat Libre d'Orange, we have always been intrigued by the relationship between fashion and perfumes. Associations and relationships between the two are common, and many fashion houses have developed fragrances that relate to their brand in some way. And a few years ago, Etienne had the opportunity to create this link for Etat Libre d'Orange.
One evening a certain designer came to visit me and discuss the possibility of creating a perfume that would reflect his collection.
He has a face, a voice that I like, class to spare, disturbing when he sets his eyes on you and then he is a beautiful soul nourished by the limelights of the 80s like wild nights, Tainted Love and the eternal rhythms and always modern from Soft Cell.
He is a man on the borders and that suits well, so well for our House which ironically handles double nature, double language and confusion of genres like a precious crudeness to wear on the skin; he needed a perfume to recall his story, that of a mixed blood rubbed as a child in the sun of Lourdes intertwined with the values and traditions of the mother earth, the Alma Mater where we believe in miracles and the salvation of the soul and which makes good men to know better than all the price of a pound of bleeding flesh between Shakespeare and butchery. And all this started at the age of 18, a small town boy and Apollo forced Paris and then London to skillfully capitalize on his beautiful aesthetic and the talent of the hands who assemble and design the factories.
An innate sense of interpersonal skills and the sublimation of silhouettes so that the body reigns supreme since with him as with us, woman is the future of man. There is in his know-how and his sense of thrill a sublime completion of the techniques of seduction, a true aesthetic of combat, struggle and passion and this is well suited to a perfume to push further the Proustian myth of the Madeleine in the mouth, a Lover in the heart and body of whom we know all the tastes of the flesh and the distant, delicious echo of loss and renunciation.
And then, to make a successful perfume at Etat Libre d'Orange, you need a judicious melee between two beautiful souls and it suited Daniela so well, it suited him so well too. An alchemy where the best of worlds, materials and talents mingle between France and England, forever linked to each other well beyond a hundred years in a loving joust to feel alive and never forget that a Amourette is never too pretty when you know in advance how life lasts.
In the days that followed, when we were sober and realistic, we all realized that the timing was not right. But we have never forgotten that remarkable evening and the ideas that came from it. And it was inevitable that the notion of fashion and perfume would stay with us. Like a fashion designer, we believe in a bold aesthetic, in provocation, in sensuality. We want our designs to allow customers to define themselves or become someone else. A stylist drapes the bodies, we drape the skin. We use the same words: fusion, structure, magic, eroticism.
