État Libre d'Orange Let's Pretend is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Nisrine Bouazzaoui Grillié. Let's Pretend opens with Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Osmanthus, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Georgywood, Cedar, and Benzoin. État Libre d'Orange's Let's Pretend carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This is a surprisingly tame, easy-going fruity-woody scent from ELDO, a brand known for its quirk. If you want to smell 'effortlessly put-together' and appeal to a broad audience, this could be your new signature, though some find its fruitiness a bit too much.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate projection and generally fresh, clean profile make it an excellent choice for the office and casual wear. While pleasant, the prominent fruity notes might make it too informal for very strict formal events, and it's definitely not for sport.

About

Imagine a sparkling glass of peach champagne, with a hint of spicy saffron and mandarin opening the show. The heart blooms with the delicate sweetness of osmanthus and jasmine, perfectly balancing the juicy peach. As it settles, a smooth, slightly mineral woody base of Georgywood, Akigalawood, and cedar emerges, softened by the resinous warmth of styrax and benzoin.
