The story behind the bottle.
She Was An Anomaly by Etat Libre d'Orange is a daring and unconventional fragrance that embodies the brand's signature approach to perfumery. Launched in 2019 and crafted by Daniela Andrier, this Floral Woody Musk composition begins with a bright burst of Green Tangerine before diving into the rich complexities of Vanilla Orchid and Plum. The heart is enlivened by incense, adding an unexpected depth that contrasts beautifully with the sweet florals. The base notes of musk, sandalwood, and amber create a warm, enveloping finish that feels both intimate and mysterious.
This fragrance benefits from a generous first application to capture its full range. The top notes fade quickly, so allow it time to settle into your skin for the best experience. It reads well close to the body, making it ideal for intimate settings or evenings out.
