Etat libre d'orange You Or Someone Like You EDP - Volume: 100 ml

ETAT LIBRE D'ORANGE You or Someone Like You EDP 100 ml A few years ago, I wrote a novel entitled You Or Someone Like You, set in Los Angeles. The main character is a woman, Anne Rosenbaum, who lives in the Hollywood Hills with her husband, Howard, a film studio executive. As many have noted, Los Angeles is not a city. It is a state of mind. A strange amalgam of places and languages. Los Angeles is rivers of concrete highways and endless stretches of asphalt, traffic and — because of or thanks to all this — it is one of the most breathtaking places on earth. This perfume is very distinctive. When Etienne de Swardt approached me about the creative direction of a perfume whose name would be the title of one of my novels, I told my perfumer, Caroline Sabas, that we were creating the fragrance that Anne would wear. She too is very particular. Cold and decidedly English, immersed in but immune to the materialism of the film industry, sophisticated, but somehow alien. You Or Someone Like You is not the “scent of Los Angeles” or the smell captured from the Hollywood Hills. It is not one of those olfactory synecdoches. Instead, in my opinion, in style and technical construction, it is what a woman from Los Angeles might wear. “My imaginary Anne wears it; just as, presumably, thousands of other women will. It represents her only in the way all these choices represent us. What it will be for you, it will be up to you to decide, of course.” — Chandler Burr EDP 100 ml
