Etat Libre d'Orange Vierges et Toreros is a true rendition of the brand's bold spirit. Full of contrasts, it is a battle between human and the beast, the man and the woman. Sunshine floods the arena, and the clamour of the spectators rises from the tiers like an offering. But no bulls will die today - this is a confrontation of masculine animal notes with the power of a flower. Wood and musk bite the dust in the face of the tuberose, while leather battles patchouli and berga­mot defies the vetiver. And all are victorious.
