Let's Pretend

Let's Pretend from Etat Libre d'Orange, composed by Nisrine Bouazzaoui Grillié in 2026, is a woody floral with osmanthus, jasmine and a warm, spicy glow. Everyone who describes it calls it woody and floral, most also find it spicy, and a minority mention sweetness, resin and citrus.

Mandarin orange and pink pepper give the opening a juicy, rosy sparkle, while saffron adds a warm, leathery spice. Peach brings a soft, velvety fruitiness. The heart is floral: osmanthus gives an apricot-like, suede-soft note and jasmine, including jasmine sambac, a sunny, creamy radiance. The base is warm and modern, with cedar, akigalawood and Georgywood giving a dry, peppery and velvety woodiness, and benzoin and styrax a sweet, balsamic resin.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who like playful, textured florals with a woody backbone. The profile works for spring and autumn, daytime and evenings, and suits creative and social occasions. Those who enjoy osmanthus and jasmine compositions with a spiced resinous base should find it warm and appealing.
