Etat Libre d'Orange The Ghost In The Shell Eau de Parfum

The Ghost In The Shell Eau de Parfum by Etat Libre d`Orange, released in 2021, is classified as a unisex fragrance belonging to the Fruity and Floral families. It was developed under the creative direction of Etienne de Swardt.

Top notes include Hexyl Acetate, Aqual, and Yuzu; middle notes are Mugane, Jasmine, and Milky Skin Accord; base notes consist of Ambroxan, Moss, and Vinyl Guaiacol.

The composition was inspired by the personal philosophy of the French theologian and philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who passed away in 1955 but left behind a rich legacy. This fragrance was crafted using both natural and high-quality synthetic ingredients, resulting in a unique perfume recognized for unveiling the phenomenon and evolution of humankind. The complex story was further articulated with the help of Masamune Shirow, the author of the Japanese manga. This creative alliance gave birth to a daring, bold, and somewhat insane perfume.

Aqual – an aquatic aldehyde;
Hexyl Acetate – a fragrant substance with a pronounced fruity aroma;
Mugane – a molecule that enhances the scent of white flowers (in this case, jasmine);
Ambroxan – one of the most expensive synthetic components, known for its special sensual smell;
Vinyl Guaiacol – gives the composition a vanilla, clove, sweet, balsamic, smoky, spicy, powdery aroma.

As a result of blending natural and synthetic ingredients, an incredibly individual and original composition was created, striking for its complexity and a sense of the unsaid. The Ghost in the Shell is a fragrance with a molecular perfumery future, rooted in the past.
