Inspired by the lyrical melancholy of Guillaume Apollinaire's famous poem, Under the Mirabeau Bridge by Etat Libre d'Orange is much more than a perfume: it is an aromatic composition that transforms emotions into waves, words into sighs, and the passage of time into an ethereal mist floating over the water. A contemporary creation with a literary soul that evokes fleeting moments and the intensity of the ephemeral.

From the first moment, this fragrance opens like a Parisian postcard at dusk: the fig leaf unfolds its elegant and juicy greenery, accompanied by the sparkling effervescence of bergamot and the lively, spicy touch of pink pepper. Elemi, with its resinous and slightly citrusy profile, adds a note of intrigue, like a half-told secret by the river.

The heart of the perfume immerses us in a liquid landscape, where marine and ozone notes evoke the humid breeze caressing the banks of the Seine. Violet adds a powdery and poetic delicacy, while frankincense, majestic and spiritual, connects this aquatic experience with an almost sacred dimension. It's like reading poetry in the rain, with the echo of the city resonating on your skin.

In the background, Under the Mirabeau Bridge takes on an enveloping depth. Sandalwood and cedar build a solid, warm, and woody base, reminiscent of the old stone bridge that inspired its name. Musk and the innovative Orcanox™ intensify the feeling of intimacy, providing a silky, lingering, and slightly animal trail. Vanilla, finally, softens the edges with a subtle, nostalgic, and almost imperceptible sweetness, like the memory of a love that has passed.

This fragrance is androgynous by nature and transgressive by vocation. Neither masculine nor feminine, but free, like everything born under the banner of Etat Libre d'Orange. It is ideal for those seeking an artistic olfactory signature that moves away from the ordinary and whispers rather than shouts.

Under the Mirabeau Bridge becomes an emotional extension of the wearer. It does not seek to please its surroundings, but rather to reflect an internal state: introspective, nostalgic, deeply human. It's perfect for moments of contemplation, gray afternoons, or aimless strolls with headphones on and the city as a backdrop.

The aromatic narrative of this fragrance glides like Apollinaire's verses: melancholic yet full of life, light yet with symbolic weight. It is a liquid olfactory poem, laden with metaphors, that flows and transforms throughout the day, like the river beneath the Mirabeau Bridge.

For lovers of perfumes with history, emotional texture, and a conceptual aesthetic, Under the Mirabeau Bridge represents an olfactory gem that can be not only smelled, but also felt. It is a reminder that perfume, like art, can also speak to us of time, lost love, and the eternal flow of existence.
