The body reigns supreme.
Like blood, sweat, sperm, saliva, Sécrétions Magnifiques is as real as an olfactory coitus that sends one into raptures, to the pinnacle of sensual pleasure, that extraordinary and unique moment when desire triumphs over reason. Masculine tenseness frees a rush of adrenalin in a cascade of high-pitched aldehydic notes. The sensation of freshness is gripping. Then the fragrance reveals a metallic side, precise and as sharp as unappeased desire. We are on a razor-edge… skin and sweat mingle, and tastes of musk and sandalwood. The slightly salty marine effect stirs, arouses, and sets your mouth watering. Tongues and sexes find one another, pleasure explodes and all goes wild. Confusion reigns supreme.
A subversive, disturbing perfume. It’s love or hate at first sight. Sensuous jousting is rarely satisfied with half- measures… Who will be the first to surrender?
With almost a cult of love or hate, Sécrétions Magnifiques shook up the perfume world when it was launched, and it still does. A work of conceptual perfumery designed to speak to all the senses at once. One rule: attraction and repulsion.

HOW IT WEARS
Sécrétions Magnifiques truly takes you on a journey throughout its wear, and it’s a journey meant only for the bravest niche perfume lovers out there. Opening with fizzy aldehydes and briny marine notes, Sécrétions quickly descends into its heart notes – an almost sour milk accord, a thick, mineral blood and sweaty adrenaline. From there it oscillates between notes in a way that will have you questioning whether you love or hate it, but one thing’s for sure… it’s interesting! With a compelling projection, this fragrance will give you 6-8 hours of fascinating wear.
LORE LOVES
Sécrétions Magnifiques is certainly not for the faint of heart, but for our lovers of animalic fragrances, you’ll be hard-pressed to find something dirtier and more… human… than this. Depending on the wearer, it can range from offensive to pleasant, but look, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! We have found Sécrétions Magnifiques also works great for layering. If you’re bored of your pretty, feminine florals, layer them with this for a perverted twist.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded by Etienne de Swardt in 2006, Etat Libre d’Orange is an ambitious, audacious perfume house. Its name meaning “Free Orange State” in French, this is a house with an emphasis on originality, audacity, authenticity and freedom of expression. Each of Etat Libre d’Orange’s offerings is uncompromisingly surprising and knows no constraints in terms of creativity nor raw materials.
A perfumer for LVMH for many years before going rogue, Etienne de Swardt founded Etat Libre d’Orange with a view to turn the commercial fragrance industry on its head. Its launch certainly made waves, not only due to the raunchy fragrance names, but for the compositions themselves.
Read any review of Etat Libre d’Orange online and you will see a wide range of opinions, from disgusted to delighted, from aroused to inspired. We are obsessed with the daring whimsy of this fragrance house and so excited to have it at Lore!
