You or Someone Like You

Etat Libre d’Orange's You Or Someone Like You is a hyper-green scent with a crushed mint cooling effect. You can smell the broken stems of garden roses picked from your neighbors garden and grass stains on your knees. This mood-boosting scent is perfect for spring and summer.

From Etat Libre d'Orange
The brainchild of Chandler Burr, discerning New York Times Perfume Critic and author of the namesake novel, ‘You Or Someone Like You’ is dedicated to his novel’s main character, Anne. Anne is a recent transplant in awe of the possibility that lingers in the crisp blue air of Los Angeles. The fresh and uplifting aroma beckons dreamers like Anne, like you or someone like you.

From Author Chandler Burr
It should be clear that You Or Someone Like You is not some kind of olfactory landscape painting. Anne is a serious gardener — I wrote a trellis of roses into her garden, I wrote in mint and wild grasses though the individual raw materials are in the end irrelevant. What You is is whatever you find it is. A scent you transplant to yourself. Synthetic and natural beauty. Possibility.

Notes
“The raw materials are completely irrelevant. The work is the work. If you need to know what it’s made of, don’t wear it; You is not for you.” — Chandler Burr
