Etat Libre d`Orange Putain des Palaces Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray
Product Details
Etat Libre d'Orange Putain des Palaces Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray is a refined unisex powdery-leather fragrance from the celebrated French niche house Etat Libre d'Orange, launched in 2006. The composition opens on mandarin, ginger and raspberry; settles into a powdery heart of iris, rose absolute and rice powder; and dries down on a sensual base of tonka beans, sandalwood and musk — designed to evoke the soft trail of lipstick and rustling lace of a woman dressed for seduction.
About Etat Libre d'Orange
Etat Libre d'Orange ("Free State of Orange") is a French niche perfume house founded by Étienne de Swardt in Paris in 2006, celebrated for its provocative, irreverent fragrance names and its commitment to creative, well-built compositions. Putain des Palaces — translating roughly as "Hotel-Palace Whore" — is one of the brand's most iconic feminine pillars, a witty contrast between its provocative name and refined, lipstick-like character.

The story behind Putain des Palaces
The fragrance evokes the powdered scent of a woman dressed for seduction — soft lipstick, vintage lace, refined hotel suites. The mandarin-ginger-raspberry opening adds a juicy lift; the iris-rose-and-rice-powder heart delivers the recognisable powdery-makeup signature; and the tonka-sandalwood-musk base extends the trail into a sensual, dressed-up finish.
