Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 by Etat Libre d'Orange, Vierges et Toreros is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men created by Antoine Lie and Antoine Maisondieu. This daring composition opens with fresh and warm spicy notes that cut through the richness of its tuberose and white floral heart. The base settles into an animalic, leathery warmth that creates a complex tension between freshness and depth. Etat Libre d'Orange is known for its bold and unconventional fragrances, and Vierges et Toreros exemplifies this with its distinctive blend of contrasting elements.
Apply Vierges et Toreros to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The fresh spicy notes dissipate quickly, making way for the complex base of leather and animalic accords that develop over time. Best worn in cooler weather or indoors where its warmth can envelop you.
