The House

Etienne de Swardt founded Etat Libre d'Orange in 2006 and named the house for the Orange Free State of his South African birthplace — the autonomous republic that, briefly, lived by its own rules. The house carries that spirit of independence into fragrance: liberated, flamboyant, and unafraid to provoke. Where most perfumery aims to please, Etat Libre d'Orange aims to challenge — sometimes with subjects polite houses would avoid entirely.
