Etat Libre d'Orange The Ghost In The Shell Eau de Parfum

Regular price $34000 NZD
Size

By mixing biotech and natural materials, this perfume silently celebrates the wake of the future and also whispers of a day to come, by providence or chance, when humanity is reunited and organised. A day when all consciousness is summoned by the infosphere to constitute a superior being and pass from the inert to the living. As the molecules assemble to make the living, we will then make a qualitative leap that becomes the starting point and arrival of transhumanism. This perfume is the future, it is a blend of cutting-edge synthetics and natural fragrant materials to achieve flesh-and-machine synthesis. The Ghost in the Shell, a perfume that speaks of the human phenomenon and its paradox, a perfume to wear on oneself ab libitum, at one’s pleasure. A perfume as a propagation towards the other, that makes you the axis and the arrow of evolution; modern, indeed! From the bottom of the matter, rise up.

Biotech materials meet jasmine and musk — pure future. Unmistakably strangely alive.

Editor's Notes

Ghost in the Shell is pure future, an accelerated leap into new olfactory territories and the glorious result of grafting ultra-modern materials onto familiar ones - producing an unmistakable strangeness. To describe the smell of Ghost in molecular terms seems inevitable, but not very telling. Ghost is to be smelled and felt: its initial impression is a splice of jasmine weaved between sharp and shiny yuzu and creamy lactonic musks, ranging the gamut from ozonic, aquatic, and artificial. It is dominated by a metallic effect - prominent at the top and persistent into the base. It is somewhat unnerving, working over the surface of the natural, causing its partial disappearance. A combination of citrus, milk, and metal - it disturbs yet soothes after a while; it is weird yet mesmerising. It will call to mind vinyl, rubber, rainstorms, plastic, milky skin, merging all of these materials in an transcendent act - Ghost simulates, on our skin, a cybernetic play - the machine is realised on our skin. It is poetic, dream-like, yet alienating. Ghost reiterates the reminders, or the warnings, of the theorists of the postmodern: technology is an extension of the body … and after a while, nature disappears. Between utopia and dystopia, Ghost is the liminal stage in this sequence - a new vision of the body entirely.

Amazing

I love this smell. It gives me rainy city vibes, can definitely imagine ghost in the shell. Like a futuristic city in the rain. Very wearable and smells expensive. So good!!

I can't stop smelling myself

I think this is the ultimate your skin but better scent.

It starts with a bright pop of citrus by the sea and dries down to a fluffy and milky warmth that I cannot stop smelling.

Somehow this warmth has an almost electronic fuzz to it, like an overheated appliance.

I have no idea how they've created such a visceral scent but I can perfectly picture this being how cybernetic prosthetics smell after a hard day's work.

I instantly ordered a full bottle!

The best

Rarely do I leave reviews but this scent is totally worth it. Starts off being this bright, happy yuzu mixed with this wonderful brief aldehyde punch. It’s followed by this really charming mix between jasmine and a powdered glove (like a powdered latex). The jasmine + latex doesn’t overstay its welcome though, and as it dries down more it becomes this wonderful cyborg like scent. Like you’re at the dentist office and the dental assistant is wearing some airy, clean nondescript fragrance as they’re about to start drilling into your mouth. They’re wearing a mask so you can’t see their mouth but you know they’re smiling at you warmly to try and comfort you. I don’t get much lactonic or soapy notes on me, but it could definitely jump out the more I wear it. After wearing it for an hour or two, it smells clean, silicon covered, artificial skin — almost clinical. The yuzu and floral linger ever so slightly on top of this cyborg effect. At times I got this strange burnt rubber accord too, like I had just had a long, sensual night with a robot and I smelt its powdery skin afterwards while it overheated in the corner. I cannot stop smiling while sniffing my skin, it’s a true must try and really a work of art.

Incredible

One of my favourite perfumes ever. It’s like nothing else I’ve smelled before. It’s fresh, slightly floral, a little citrusy and unexpectedly milky.
I was initially attracted to the name and packaging- having gone through a bone marrow transplant which fully replaced my blood with my donor’s ( resulting in a new blood type, 2 DNAs), I feel like a bit like a cyborg myself, so I could relate to the concept. But when I smelled this unique scent, I was captivated. It works wonderfully with my body chemistry and stays on my skin for the whole day. Will definitely repurchase once I run out.

Sample review

Not as cyberpunk as advertised but still lovely milky, skin scent. Smells like fresh newborn kinda of scent in my opinion. Poor performance tho

Cold and delicious!

This fragrance is simultaneously cold and zesty, fresh and liminal. Great longevity and sillage. I'm in love with the dichotomy of this scent.

Favourite clean smell

This is my favourite from the brand. Fresh and clean fragrance that lingers over several hours. Dry down is musky and comforting.
