État Libre d'Orange 2023 EDP
Nostos
État Libre d'Orange Nostos is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Jordi Fernández. Nostos opens with Mandarin, Saffron, and Incense, settles into a heart of Oud, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Suede, Ambroxan, Georgywood, and Musk. État Libre d'Orange's Nostos carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-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.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 cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
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.
