You Or Someone Like You

You Or Someone Like You is a fragrance that does not seek to encapsulate the scent of Los Angeles, but rather to stylistically reflect what a woman in this city might choose to wear. However, at its core it is a perfume that invites a fresh and intriguing sensory journey, making an impression that is both concrete and abstract, similar to a composition by Erik Satie.

This fragrance captures the spirit of a woman named Anne Rosenbaum, a literary figure Chandler Burr created for his novel of the same title. Anne embodies the purity and sophistication of English style, untouched by the materialistic glitter of the film industry surrounding her. The fragrance symbolizes not only Anne, but also the many ways we all represent ourselves through such olfactory choices.

The perfume offers an invigorating sensory experience. It is designed to delight and embrace the senses with its fresh, welcoming allure. It is a tribute to those who, in their pursuit of dreams and ambitions in the city of Los Angeles, remain true to themselves despite the temptations life presents them. Thus, You Or Someone Like You celebrates the unbreakable spirit of those who persevere and dream of a better tomorrow.

You Or Someone Like You within Etat Libre d'Orange

Etat Libre d'Orange created it in collaboration with Chandler Burr, based on his novel of the same title. It is signed by perfumer Caroline Sabas, and the house sells it as an eau de parfum and places it among its green and fresh perfumes.

The brand does not publish the pyramid. Instead, it quotes Burr: the raw materials are irrelevant, the work is the work, and if you need to know what it is made of, it is not for you. That is why the note lists circulating in other stores do not match each other and do not come from the house. What Etat Libre d'Orange does share is the idea: a bright, sparkling opening, the blue of the California sky, and the clarity of a morning in Los Angeles.

From the same house we have The Ghost In The Shell, Above The Waves and Fat Electrician, and the Discovery Kit de Etat Libre d'Orange to try several perfumes from the house before choosing. The full collection is at Etat Libre d'Orange.
