État Libre d'Orange 2025 EDP
Above the Waves
État Libre d'Orange Above the Waves is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Above the Waves opens with Bergamot and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Rose and Tea, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Cypress. État Libre d'Orange's Above the Waves carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.
A well-crafted tea fragrance that’s a safe bet for most tea lovers, though it might not shatter any paradigms. Think of it as a beautifully brewed cuppa - comforting and familiar, if not entirely groundbreaking. Some find it a touch derivative, but the consensus leans towards a refined, calming experience.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Given its fresh, clean aromatic profile and moderate longevity, this scent is perfect for casual wear and the office, creating an unobtrusive yet pleasant aura. While it’s suitable for some date settings, its lack of overtly seductive notes means it might not shine in formal occasions. Its lightness and freshness make it a good, albeit not top-tier, choice for active recovery.
