Etat Libre d'Orange continues its tradition of challenging fragrance norms with the 2023 release of Sous Le Pont Mirabeau. Inspired by the famous bridge in Paris and the poetry of Guillaume Apollinaire, this fragrance attempts to capture the fluidity and movement of the Seine River within a glass bottle. Crafted by perfumer Mathieu Nardin, the scent moves away from the house's often provocative, animalic history, opting instead for a clean, sophisticated, and distinctly aquatic profile. It is a fragrance that speaks to the modern urbanite, offering a moment of calm amidst the kinetic energy of city life.
