About
Dangerous Complicity by Etat Libre d'Orange is a Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Dangerous Complicity was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Violaine Collas. The fragrance features Rum, Coconut, Leather, Chinese Osmanthus, Cashmere Wood, Ylang-Ylang, Sandalwood, Egyptian Jasmine, Calamus, Lorenox, Ginger, Bay Leaf and Patchouli. "For inspiration, we look to Adam and Eve. By eating the forbidden fruit, complicity took on another dimension, and became dangerous. They lost their innocence and their paradise. The door was opened to carnal energy, they were liberated from restrictions, and they could now create their own version of Eden. That forbidden fruit became a one-way ticket to Etat Libre d’Orange.Do you know the Osmanthus flower? The scent of the Chinese plant has a bewitching allure, and the tea which is made from its small white blossoms is known to encourage seduction. Add to this the jasmine, famed as an aphrodisiac.Then bind them together with the strength of leather, and expunge all inhibitions with the intoxicating power of rum. Now you are ready to form an alliance, break some rules, and take the risk – to enter into that dangerous complicity of hearts and minds and flesh."
