ETAT LIBRE D'ORANGE Experimentum Crucis

Open a new scented path, beyond light and gravity.
Newton, excuse us!

Legend has it that an apple from a tree fell on Newton's head and thus the theory of universal gravitation was born. But then let's imagine a different scene: Newton, asleep under a rose bush. And instead of an apple a flower falls, a huge rose, a fleshy and totally perfumed rose. Would I have felt it? Had he buried his face in the heart of the flower? And what would this mean for your theory?

This scent: A chypre! And a very precise and clear formula, like something that falls on you, sudden and direct. And it never leaves you. A scent trail that lasts. Akigala wood and patchouli for a honeyed rose.

Newton, excuse us! Your Crucial Experience showed us that colors are not characteristics of objects but properties of light. Now we know, thanks to you, that white light is a mixture of rays with the nuances of the rainbow. You also showed us that just because an object IS red doesn't mean we see it as red. If it appears red to our visual perception, it is because, when illuminated with a white light source (for example, sunlight), its surface absorbs all the colored light rays that compose it, EXCEPT the red ones.

So forgive us for being inspired by your Experimentum Crucis! You have been the inspiration and source of criticism for many. And since your theory has changed our view of the world, we have tried to create a fragrance that will change the world.
