Bijou Romantique by Etat Libre d'Orange was launched in 2012 as a daring Oriental Floral fragrance created by Mathilde Bijaoui. This composition opens with the brightness of ylang-ylang, pink pepper, and bergamot, which quickly gives way to a heart of iris and clary sage, adding depth and warmth. The base notes of vanilla, benzoin, and vetiver create a powdery, woody backdrop that feels both romantic and slightly spicy. Bijou Romantique is a fragrance that encapsulates the brand's bold approach to perfumery, blending familiar sweetness with unexpected elements.

Application Tips
This fragrance develops best when applied to pulse points. The aromatic top notes dissipate within an hour, so reapply if you want them to linger. The base notes are slow to bloom but last throughout the day, making it perfect for evening wear.
