Let's Pretend Eau de Parfum

Let's Pretend Eau de Parfum is a playful and expressive olfactory spectacle created by perfumer Nisrine Grillie to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Etat Libre d'Orange. Inspired by the theatre of life, the fragrance explores the idea of perfume as an invisible costume—something that allows us to embody different facets of ourselves and step into the spotlight with confidence. Fruity and spicy, it combines luminous freshness, velvety fruit, and warm woods in a composition that moves gracefully between appearance and revelation.

The fragrance opens with radiant mandarin, sparkling pink pepper, and intriguing saffron, creating an energetic introduction reminiscent of a curtain rising before a performance. At the heart, juicy peach takes centre stage, enveloped by the softly apricot-like, subtly leathery character of osmanthus absolute and the delicate floral luminosity of jasmine sambac absolute. The final act reveals an elegant precious-wood accord built around cedar,Akigalawood,and Georgywood, enriched by the resinous warmth of styrax and benzoin.
