Etat Libre d'Orange Vierges et Toreros is a true rendition of the brand's bold spirit. Full of contrasts, it is a battle between human and the beast, the man and the woman. Sunshine floods the arena, and the clamour of the spectators rises from the tiers like an offering. But no bulls will die today - this is a confrontation of masculine animal notes with the power of a flower. Wood and musk bite the dust in the face of the tuberose, while leather battles patchouli and berga­mot defies the vetiver. And all are victorious. Made in France.

Editor's Notes: In an unexpected twist, Vierges et Toreros clashes the heady floral note of fleshy tuberose against the daring note of leather, adding a softness yet retaining the power not often seen in the leather style. The result is a new style of masculinity, something between forceful and graceful, like the matador the scent is built on.
