A Fragrance Born From Ritual, Movement and Protection
Discover a fragrance inspired by ancient rituals, quiet moments of reflection, and the connection between nature and spirit. This sophisticated composition blends the warmth of tea, the brightness of citrus, and the grounding depth of woods to create a scent that feels serene, comforting, and deeply atmospheric.
At the heart, Taiwanese oolong, Ceylon black tea, and green mate unfold with a smoky, leafy richness, evoking the feeling of a peaceful tea ceremony. Their elegant warmth creates a refined balance between tradition, movement, and tranquility.
Bright bergamot adds a sparkling freshness, reminiscent of morning light over calm waters, while cardamom and incense bring a subtle spiritual depth, like gentle prayers drifting through a temple.
The fragrance settles into a grounded base of cedarwood and vetiver, creating a warm connection to earth, memory, and timeless natural beauty.

Etat Libre d'Orange
Etat Libre d’Orange proposes surprising olfactory compositions, without any limitations in terms of creativity, raw materials, or expense. This is why the brand has met a growing number of passionate fans who see in Etat Libre d’Orange its singularity, its sincerity, and its adherence to its ethos: luxurious, provocative, sometimes ironic, often subversive, and always elegant. In ten years, Etat Libre d’Orange has become a respected constituent in the world of perfume.
In South Africa, Etat Libre d’Orange, the Orange Free State, was an autonomous sovereign republic which declared independence from British rule in 1854. The name was derived from the royal family of the Netherlands, the homeland of the region’s pioneers. It was a land of staggeringly rough beauty and color 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. And it was independent — unrestrained, unrestricted.
Unity, beauty, conflict — and freedom, the hallmarks of our company. The Orange Free State ended in 1902. But its attitude lives on at Etat Libre d’Orange.
Gourmand
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
