The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Nostos by Etat Libre d'Orange, launched in 2023 and crafted by Jordi Fernández, is a daring composition that embodies the brand's reputation for unusual and provocative fragrances. The scent opens with rich oud and warm spices before settling into a base of leather, musk, and smoky notes, creating an atmosphere that is both intense and intimate. The powdery rose and amber add depth, making this fragrance feel like a journey through layers of memory and emotion.

How to wear it

Apply Nostos sparingly to ensure that its rich base notes do not overpower. The smoky oud and musk will develop gradually over several hours, making it ideal for evening wear or special occasions where you want a scent that evolves with the night.
