French niche line Etat Libre d’Orange will launch Story of Your Life, a new fragrance, later this month.

The Mood: Echoes of past lives, the sensuality of skin meeting skin, mornings tangled in sheets, the scent of warm brioche at dawn, and the aching desire for love’s intoxicating pull.

The notes include benzoin, davana, orange blossom, warm buttered bread, rum, vanilla, cocoa, orcanox, amber woods and patchouli.

Etat Libre d’Orange Story of Your Life will probably be available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum; I will update with more details when they are available.

Update: Story of Your Life was developed by perfumer Jérôme di Marino and is described as a smoky amber fragrance. Additional notes include laurel. The description from the brand...

Definition of true love

Some of us have known it, others have yet to experience it, but we are all waiting or looking for it. It will come.

"I often have this strange, penetrating dream,” we whisper in the warm, enveloping caramel arms of benzoin and the sweet, ripe fruitiness of davana.

There is a vague but strong hope, nurtured alone on a blanket of yesteryear, when the hope, the dream, becomes reality, when the meeting takes place, at last, and everything makes sense.

This is a home, a haven, a shelter.

Words fail us, but our souls speak to each other in complete transparency.

Our ancient hearts find their way back together.

I already know you, we say.

From our first morning of buttered bread and orange blossom, savored in the laurels of yesterday.

We soar, intoxicated, high on rum, infused with vanilla and cocoa. Full of that body, the feeling we want to devour.

On the pillow, we leave our signature, the bare skin effect of Orcanox, the undress of amber woods and patchouli.

We'll meet again tonight, tomorrow or in another life.
