Etat Libre d'Orange Nostos 100 ml EDP

Nostos is a fragrance launched in 2023 and is part of the "Collection Orange Extraordinaire" line by Maison Etat Libre d’Orange.
An Oriental Unisex olfactory composition.

With Nostos Eau de Parfum, Etat Libre d’Orange turns its attention to Ancient Greece, examining the concept and meaning of the word "return," which forms the etymological root of nostalgia. Few elements can evoke memories as powerfully as scent, and this fragrance wraps the wearer in notes that recall the endless summers of dewy youth, such as mandarin, Turkish rose, jasmine, saffron, and sandalwood.

According to the brand’s description, the incense in the top notes recalls the festive rituals of the Ancient Greeks and is associated with “the most beautiful hero of Greek mythology, Achilles.” The great hero, fatally wounded by Paris, son of Priam, king of Troy, dies, and his body is burned on a funeral pyre along with the finest incense. The name of Etat Libre d’Orange's new perfume translates from Ancient Greek as "return." This word was often used in the context of a hero’s return home in epic tales, and from it derives another word well known to us: nostalgia. When it comes to reviving memories, there are few things in the world that can compare to scent.

Nostos Eau de Parfum is designed to evoke memories of the endless summers of your youth. The incense in the top note recalls the festive rituals of the Ancient Greeks.
