Etat Libre d'Orange is a french luxury perfume house founded in 2006 by Etienne de Swardt. The brand name translates to The Free State of Orange and is, according to de Swardt, more of a mindset than a perfume house. De Swardt, a former perfumer for Givenchy, teams up with different perfumers and gives them creative control to create innovative, unique and genderless scents.
