Etat libre d'orange You Or Someone Like You EDP Volume: 50 ml

ETAT LIBRE D'ORANGE You or Someone Like You EDP 50 ml A few years ago, I wrote a novel titled 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 strips of asphalt, traffic and — because of or thanks to all this — it is one of the most breathtaking places on earth. This fragrance is very distinctive. When Etienne de Swardt approached me about the creative direction of a fragrance whose name would be the title of my novel, I told my perfumer, Caroline Sabas, that we were creating the scent that Anne would wear. She, too, is very particular. Cool and decidedly English, immersed but immune from the materialism of the film industry, sophisticated, yet 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 that all these choices represent us. What it will be for you, it will be up to you to decide, of course.” — Chandler Burr EDP 50 ml
