Do you know this adorable mademoiselle? She’s a girly-girl, clutching a bouquet of orange blossom and lily-of-the-valley, all sweetness and light and delicate grace.
Like a ballerina, she pirouettes across the floor and into your heart. But this young dancer knows some jazzy moves. That pink-and-white charm conceals shades of grey. And when the innocence of fresh white flowers gives way to a hint of seductive patchouli, you know there’s more to her. Someday, her sparkle will turn into fire, and her gentle warmth will become passion. Oh, the sweet mystery of this precious girl! But all will be revealed when you ask her, “Do you..?” And she replies, “Yes, I do”.

HOW IT WEARS
Yes I Do opens with fizzy, champagne-like aldehydes and sweet pear, before revealing a beautiful, fresh white floral bouquet that smells like a fresh breeze in spring. With an earthy cacao and musk dry down, this uplifting, romantic floral fragrance lasts 6-8 hours on the skin, leaving a pretty, feminine trail behind you.
LORE LOVES
This fragrance is so romantic and lovely, and truly celebrates each white floral it contains with such innocence and purity. It doesn’t have the shock factor other Etat Libre d’Orange fragrances do, which makes it a stand-out in the collection. Who doesn’t love a classic, youthful white floral? Perhaps the surprise will be in who decides to wear it!
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!
