A sensual floral with an exotic tropical touch.
Ylang-ylang, jasmine and leathery osmathus are highlighted with ginger, coconut and rum.
Elegant, decadent and slightly melancholic, very Lana del Ray.

"My old man is a tough man
But he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me, he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
In fact he says he thinks it's what he might like about me, admires me
The way I roll like a rolling stone."
Off to the races. L. Del Ray
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The mood is the quiet closeness after an evening together, a leather jacket draped over a chair and rum still warm on the palate. Tropical flowers soften the suede-like texture, creating a sensual presence that feels relaxed rather than theatrical.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on the neck or upper chest to keep the floral-leather character close. Mild or cooler weather is a natural setting for its rum, coconut and woody warmth; in summer heat, apply lightly so the richer floral sweetness does not dominate.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to lush florals with a soft leather edge, especially osmanthus lovers who enjoy its apricot-and-suede character. Rum and coconut add an edible warmth, making this appealing to tastes that sit between tropical florals and restrained gourmand fragrances.
Release year
2012

Etat Libre d'Orange’s story
Founded by Étienne de Swardt, État Libre d’Orange treats perfume as a space for creative independence. Provocative names, irreverent storytelling and unconventional compositions challenge polite expectations, while restrained bottles keep attention on the fragrance rather than the packaging.
Dangerous Complicity’s concept
Dangerous Complicity began with the image of Adam and Eve sharing forbidden fruit: desire becomes a mutual transgression and a release from restraint. Its intimate character translates that idea into rum-warmed flowers and suede-like osmanthus, recalling the trace of a leather jacket left on a lover’s skin.
Extra info
Osmanthus supplies the composition’s bridge between fruit and leather through its apricot-like and suede-like facets. Early launch materials listed more notes than the current official pyramid, but that difference alone does not establish a reformulation.
