Nostos

by Jordi Fernández

État Libre d'Orange Nostos is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Jordi Fernández. Nostos settles into a heart of Mandarin, Sandalwood, Georgywood, and Incense. État Libre d'Orange's Nostos carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

Nostos is Etat Libre d'Orange playing it safe, delivering a powerful oud-and-leather scent that’s a dead ringer for many others. It's a love-or-hate affair, with its extreme projection and divisive "burnt rubber" or "hospital" notes polarising opinion.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This fragrance is an absolute beast in terms of longevity and sillage, making it far too overpowering for an office or casual setting. Its rich oud and leather accords are perfectly suited for formal events or a confident date night statement, particularly in colder weather.

About

Nostos opens with a blast of potent oud and luxurious suede, spiced with saffron and a bright mandarin top note that bravely fights for attention. As it settles, a clean, smoky rose emerges, softening the intensity, while musky wood and amber provide a rich, long-lasting base. A complex and assertive fragrance that demands presence.
