Launched in 2010, Sex Pistols by Etat Libre d'Orange is a fragrance that embodies the brand's daring and unconventional spirit. Perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui crafted this aromatic-spicy composition with a fresh spicy opening that segues into warm spicy and aldehydic notes, balanced by leather and patchouli in the base. This scent is neither traditional nor subtle; it's an unapologetic statement of boldness and individuality.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays for optimal effect. The aldehydic notes fade quickly, so rely on the lasting warmth of the leather and patchouli base. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room.
