No fragrance house is better at challenging conventional norms than Etienne de Swardt’s Etat Libre D’Orange so it was the first place I turned for Mardi Gras scents. Etat Libre D’Orange Putain des Palaces embodies carnival’s topsy-turvy, starting out as a fragrance of Grace Kelly femininity before revealing a base that is, well, base. On the surface, this pretty, powdery rose and violet perfume is as feminine and well-bred as a debutante’s ballgown. But as it wears, this society girl’s coiffure falls out of its pins, and cigarette smoke and all sorts of naughtiness cling by morning. Thanks to the generosity of Madam Aucoin Perfume in New Orleans, we have a sample set of Etat Libre D’Orange Putains des Palaces and I Am Trash, Mojo Magique Belle and Goest Jackal for one registered reader in the U.S. .
