Tilda Swinton Like This

Etat Libre d'Orange's 'Like This' is a deeply personal, unisex scent inspired by Tilda Swinton's childhood memories of home. It unfolds in layers of warm, earthy terrain—starting with vibrant ginger and zesty tangerine, followed by a sustained, gourmand-like impression of a baked pumpkin and spice blend. The dominant rhythm is set by immortelle, offering a distinct herbal, slightly bitteric quality that grounds the fragrance and prevents it from becoming overly sweet or gourmand. This note, combined with soft floral heliotrope and clean, warm musk, imbues the scent with a deep sense of coziness, reminiscent of autumnal, turn-of-the-century kitchens or sun-drenched rural estates. The perfume feels simultaneously comforting and sophisticated—cloaked in an atmosphere of quiet intimacy. Its appeal lies in its multi-layered character: not a singular idea of 'pumpkin pie,' but a transportive journey through layered scents of spice, earth, and floral softness. This complexity means it's not for everyone—some find it too dry, herbaceous, or overly dominated by the immortelle; others feel it disappoints as 'foody' with minimal warmth or sweetness. However, those drawn to its unique quietness, airy depth, and evocative character often embrace it passionately over years of wear.
