Etat Libre d'Orange You Or Someone Like You — Type Formula
A rolled-down-window Los Angeles freeway of mint, cut grass and transparent rose, styled by critic Chandler Burr.
Conceived as an ode to Californian light and Joan Didion's prose, it pairs a bright mint accord with a watercolor rose over sheer musks. The effect is deliberately effortless — green, breezy and endlessly wearable.
