A zingy citrus, with champagne fizziness, sweet spices and gentle sandalwood/amber theme in the drydown.
It's a cosy happy perfume, easy to like and easy to wear and according to the house, it's the wearer who will make it quite remarkable.
Perfumer: Cecile Matton
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.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The mood is the moment a small gathering becomes animated: coats come off, glasses are raised, and conversation loosens. Grapefruit and champagne fizz bring an upbeat first impression, while soft woods and warm spice keep the scent companionable at closer range.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring weather or on cooler summer evenings, when the citrus sparkle and warm drydown can both have room. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms; a restrained application keeps the spicy, woody warmth from crowding the bright opening.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy lively citrus but want more texture than a straightforward cologne. Its champagne accord, cardamom and soft woody-amber finish suit tastes that lean cheerful and approachable, with an appetite for an unusual spicy detail.

The nose
Cécile Matton is credited with Remarkable People. Her work often combines immediate appeal with distinctive textures, balancing brightness, spice and sensual warmth. A co-creator of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Scandal, she brings a similarly assured balance of exuberance and softness to this champagne-led composition.
Collaborators
Founder Étienne de Swardt helped shape the creative direction, describing a joyful, celebratory mood inspired by carefree glamour and pink champagne on ice. He also participated in evaluating the composition.
Etat Libre d'Orange’s story
État Libre d’Orange treats perfumery as a space for creative freedom, using provocative names, irony and unconventional compositions to challenge expectations. Remarkable People expresses the house’s rebellious outlook through generosity rather than shock: a salute to individuality, whether publicly celebrated or quietly lived.
Remarkable People’s concept
Remarkable People celebrates those who challenge conventions or change things in meaningful ways, without making fame a requirement. Josephine Baker’s fearless spirit is an acknowledged inspiration, giving the fragrance’s champagne brightness a connection to charisma, freedom and uninhibited joy.
Extra info
The champagne note is an accord, not an indication that the perfume contains wine. The official formula description also names Curry Neo Jungle Essence™ and Lorenox™, distinctive materials behind its spicy and woody facets.
