About
Rien by Etat Libre d'Orange is a Woody Chypre fragrance for women and men. Rien was launched in 2006. The nose behind this fragrance is Antoine Lie. The fragrance features Leather, Incense, Aldehydes, Styrax, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Labdanum, Amber, Iris, Black Pepper, Cumin and Rose. Nothing is Everything. Do not believe what you first see… under the demureness of the name, the spicy savour of blackcurrant bays and the musky notes of blond suede. Rien is a second skin perfume, a perfume that clings to the body and perseveres in the mind. Like venial sin on the verge of becoming mortal, irresistible and resolutely pervasive. As light as mohair and as precious as cashmere, the fragrance envelops skin with a powdered caress. It has the meticulous elegance and hypnotic beauty of a modern Dorian Gray, in a feminine/masculine version. An entrancing fragrance that leaves an unforgettable imprint. Utter charm, utterly charismatic. The vanilla/opium accord of the drydown reinforces the addiction. Rien is an essential. A perfumer’s confession. Composition: Incense, rose, leather, cistus, oakmoss, patchouli, amber, cumin, black pepper, aldehyde... Perfumer is Antoine Lie.
