Exit the King by État Libre d'Orange celebrates the fall of old traditions and the freedom of new beginnings through a captivating blend of fresh florals, aromatic spices, and earthy woods. Created by perfumers Cécile Matton and Ralf Schwieger, the fragrance opens with the invigorating spice of Timur and pink pepper, complemented by a distinctive soap foam accord. Sparkling aldehydes and soft musk create an airy, freshly washed character that transitions into a luminous floral heart of jasmine, rose, and delicate lily of the valley.
As the fragrance develops, the clean, radiant florals give way to the earthy richness of patchouli and moss absolute, introducing the sophisticated depth of a classic chypre. A smooth sandalwood accord softens the composition with creamy warmth, while Orcanox adds a radiant, ambery woodiness that lingers against the skin. Elegant yet unconventional, Exit the King balances pristine freshness with sensual warmth, creating a modern floral chypre that embodies the rebellious spirit of État Libre d'Orange.

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 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.
