Launched in 2021, The Ghost In The Shell by Etat Libre d'Orange is a daring collaboration with manga/anime creator Masamune Shirow. This fragrance seeks to capture the essence of the franchise's themes — the blurred line between human and artificial consciousness — through its distinctive composition. A lactonic accord melds seamlessly with yuzu, jasmine, and milk, creating an evocative blend that feels both natural and synthetic. The scent is a bold interpretation of modernity and identity, reflecting the brand’s reputation for unconventional perfumery.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance lightly — the lactonic and aldehydic notes project well but can become overpowering with too much. The jasmine-yuzu accord is best appreciated up close rather than from a distance, so a few drops on pulse points will ensure you experience its full complexity throughout the day.
