The Free State of Orange is a land of olfactory liberty where there are no taboos, or constraints on fragrance creation. Headed up by the mercurial Etienne de Swardt, Etat Libre captured our interest upon its inception in 2006. Who else would dare create a fragrance based on incense and bubble gum, or a hotel madame? Insolence? Perhaps. Subversive? Most definitely, but it is rare to see anyone these days push the envelope so far with a fragrance, much less an entire line. We love the adventurous spirit and unconventional approach and we applaud the results. \u003ci\u003eLes parfums et mort, vive les parfums!\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWhat you are about to experience may excite, provoke, entice and even stimulate.

Etat Libre d’Orange is a brand known for making high concept art, and this is no exception. In I Am Trash, the idea is to raise awareness about the continued usefulness of the things that normally get thrown away, and find a way to upcycle these items to create something beautiful in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Am Trash is a perfume made entirely from ‘found objects’ like the fruit peels and wood chips leftover from extraction by the perfume or food industry. This makes perfect sense. After all, some of the most exquisite materials in perfumery derive from waste. Ambergris, for example, is effluvia from a whale washed up on a beach. Oud is a tree’s white cell response to a fungal infection. And so on and so forth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut fear not, for I Am Trash is as far from the ruder, dirtier aspects of nature’s waste as you can imagine. It is a gentle fruity-floral that wraps a woodland bouquet of wild strawberries, apple, rose, and citrus rind up in a frothy musk and asks you to forgive it its dramatic back story. Nothing dark or rotting lurks in the corners. This is a purely bright, sunny concoction of fruits and flowers, with clean musks, radiant Iso E Super, and a dab of creamy sandalwood in the base pinning it all together. Etat Libre d’Orange could have named this I Am Joy and nobody would blink. But we love the name I Am Trash because it’s a reminder to be more thoughtful about what we throw away, and testament to the fact that, sometimes, out of trash comes true beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etat Libre d'Orange","offers":[{"title":"100ml","offer_id":46720389349697,"sku":"47753_R1","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50ml","offer_id":46720389316929,"sku":"47753_R","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ml spray","offer_id":50658712813889,"sku":"47753_S","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/47753.jpg?v=1754968980"},{"product_id":"remarkable-people-by-etat-libre-dorange","title":"Remarkable People","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat are the markings of a remarkable person?

In much the same way that bio-modification may someday soon be all around us without being visible to the naked eye, this is a skin scent that turns out to be much more than it initially appears- extremely subtle, but deeply enveloping, soft and soothing but with a dynamic, futuristic musky edge.
