Fils de Dieu du riz et des agrumes, launched in 2012 by Etat Libre d'Orange and crafted by perfumer Ralf Schwieger, is a daring Oriental Spicy fragrance that embodies the brand's reputation for bold and unconventional compositions. The opening notes of lime and ginger flower introduce a fresh spicy contrast to the sweet and warm spiciness of cardamom and cinnamon, creating a dynamic tension between brightness and warmth. As it develops, shiso and rice add an earthy, green complexity, while coconut lends a lush, creamy texture. The heart reveals jasmine and may rose, which soften the overall composition without overpowering its distinctive character.

Application Tips
This fragrance is best applied to pulse points for a balanced experience. The top notes are bright but fleeting, so layering with the heart and base will ensure a more cohesive scent profile throughout the day. It pairs well with an evening outfit, where its warm and complex base can fully unfold.

Ralf Schwieger once took part in a perfume contest that Frédéric Malle had staged for young perfumers. Frédéric sampled their perfumes one by one, blindfolded, until he reached Ralph’s sketch of what was to become Lipstick Rose, and Ralf was chosen to join Editions de Parfums. Having spent his childhood in Germany exploring forests and absorbing all of their unusual smells, Ralf is prone to creating perfumes with unexpected personalities. He describes his attitude to perfume making as a game in two parts, whose first is intellectual or conceptual, and whose second is a lengthier one of sensory research. His perfumes, as a result, are both cerebral and intuitive.
