I Am Trash by État Libre d'Orange celebrates the beauty of reinvention through an innovative blend of upcycled ingredients, fresh fruits, and delicate florals. Created by perfumer Daniela Andrier, the fragrance transforms materials recovered from the fragrance and food industries into an unexpectedly elegant composition. The opening bursts with the crisp sweetness of upcycled apple essence, complemented by vibrant bitter orange and green tangerine. At its heart, luxurious upcycled rose absolute brings a velvety floral richness, while juicy Gariguette strawberry introduces a playful sweetness. Iso E Super adds a smooth, airy woodiness that enhances the fragrance's radiant character.
As the fragrance develops, upcycled Atlas cedarwood creates a warm, elegant foundation, complemented by the creamy sandalwood character of Sandalore. Akigalawood introduces a rich, spicy woodiness that adds depth without overwhelming the composition's fresh, fruity opening. The result is a sophisticated fragrance that balances sparkling citrus, delicate florals, and comforting woods. Bright, imaginative, and effortlessly distinctive, I Am Trash challenges conventional ideas of luxury by revealing the extraordinary beauty hidden in discarded materials.

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 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.
