Le Régent explores the origins of the Maison Oriza L. Legrand, back in the 18th century when it was called Parfumerie Oriza de Fargeon-Aîné at the “Perfumed Court” of King Louis XV.

A novel material: curry essence, extracted with a breakthrough method where the resulting oil is a true rendition of the original material's aroma.
The Etat Libre d'Orange's story for this perfume:
In classical mythologies, there were the demigods, the offspring of a god and a human, or a mortal who was raised to divine status. An ancient Greek poet used the word demigod as a synonym for hero. They demonstrated strength and power, a willingness to face challenges and confront danger.
In the New World, there were the explorers, who discovered unknown lands. They were heroes too, battling forces of nature to find new territories. And throughout history — scientists, artists, composers, entertainers — all heroes in their own way.
New heroes are born every day. There is an element, or an event, or a circumstance, or maybe just a quirk in their personalities that changes them, empowers them, enables them to transcend the ordinary. They believe in something different, something better. They want to change the rules, break the rules, alter the status quo, in whatever grand or small way they find meaningful. They are on a journey, and maybe it’s the effort alone that makes them remarkable.
For some, their efforts bring fame and glory. Many others remain unknown. But they cannot — they should not — be ignored.
These are our people — the remarkable citizens of Etat Libre d’Orange, the Orange Free State. The “un” people — uncompromising, unexpected, unconventional, unpredictable. We salute them, we honor them, by offering the extraordinary fragrance they deserve.

Baraonda by Nasomatto £130.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- cinnamon
- peru balm
- rum
- tonka beans
- Aromagroups:

Baronda is the perfume of hedonistic pleasures, of throwing caution to the wind, of no longer giving a f**k. Whisky and honey are the opening act here, loosening inhibitions and smoothing the way for a long cruise through cinnamon, immortelle, vanilla and resinous amber.
Nawab of Oudh by Ormonde Jayne £295.00
- Key notes:
- ambergris
- bergamot
- cardamom
- hedione
- oud
- pimento pepper
- Aromagroups:
- green
- leather
- woody
Nawab of Oudh is part of the Four Corners of the Earth collection and represents India, the land that gives us oud, a plethora of spices, and so many beautiful flowers.
The name of the perfume can be interpreted in two ways. It’s a literal reference to the rich history and culture of India: hawab or nabob meaning ‘the ruler’, and Oudh the historical name of the modern day Uttar Pradesh region. However, given the current fashion for oud perfumes, you can interpret the name “the oud to rule them all’.
Nawab of Oudh has the complex architecture of many ingredients, surrounding the oud heart deep within. And on the way there, you will travel through layers of cardamom and other fresh spices, extravagant garlands of exotic flowers, the sea breeze of ambergris, and more.
The elixir is also exceptionally concentrated, at 42% - hence the 'intensivo' in the title.
White Blood by L'Entropiste £260.00
- Key notes:
- ambergris
- bergamot
- starfruit
- tiare flower
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- fruity
- vintage/old school
White Blood refers to the pale, living fluid in the stem of a flower. In this case, an imaginary flower with opalescent petals. Seemingly a “nothing” colour, here white reveals itself as the sum of a thousand shades: layered iridescences, light diffracting at every angle. A crisp, appealingly sour opening of starfruit launches into a dense tropical juice of tiaré and watery pink lotus. Like the kaleidoscopic pastels of an opal, a rainbow of scent impressions drift by: is that rose? Ylang-ylang? Kiwi? The enigma continues through the drydown, which stays intriguingly cold and refreshing.
565 by SweDoft £120.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- bergamot
- dark musks
- incense
- oud
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- edible
- woody
5 citrus notes.
6 fruity notes.
5 rare perfume notes including musk and amber.
565 is a number from one curious story. The protagonist was neither that handsome nor rich, but his name was Casanova. 565 is the number of ladies who had a relationship with Casanova during his life.
The perfume is an indulgence of sweet and showy radiance: candied bergamot peel soaked in amber, with a pinch of animalic musks.
Alambar by Laboratorio Olfattivo £105.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- bergamot
- cinnamon
- cocoa
- Aromagroups:
- woody
Perfumer: Enrico Buccella
A tribute to an icon and its amber-scented world – amber, ambar, alambre, ambra, ambrum, ambarum, Alambar. Built around a spiced cinnamon and honeyed vanilla heart of sublime quality, subtle tones have been amplified. Shimmering and slightly peppered bergamot reveals the full spectrum of the amber’s gourmand, floral, leathery and spicy notes. Its woody character is reinforced by addictive cocoa and the enveloping layers bring a warm mystical aura.
