You or Someone Like You by État Libre d'Orange captures the vibrant spirit of Los Angeles through a refreshing blend of aromatic greenery, sparkling citrus, and delicate florals. Created by perfumer Caroline Sabas in collaboration with author Chandler Burr, the fragrance draws inspiration from the central character of his novel of the same name.

Lush green nuances evoke freshly cut grass and sunlit gardens, while delicate rose introduces an elegant floral softness that balances the composition's lively opening.
As the fragrance develops, the vibrant greenery softens into a clean, airy warmth, with subtle fruity nuances and a gentle muskiness that lingers against the skin.

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.
