French niche line Etat Libre d’Orange will introduce Sous Le Pont Mirabeau, a new fragrance.

Sous Le Pont Mirabeau was inspired by the Pont Mirabeau bridge in Paris and the Guillaume Apollinaire poem Le pont Mirabeau, a "melancholy piece—which uses the image of the ornate bridge spanning the flowing Seine to explore love and the passage of time".* The fragrance is intended to echo the strong foundation of the bridge with cedar, sandalwood and orcanox. Additional notes include bergamot, elemi, pink pepper, fig, violet leaves and vanilla.

Etat Libre d’Orange Sous Le Pont Mirabeau will be available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Update: Additional notes for the fresh woody fragrance include aquatic and ozonic accords, and musks. Part of the description from Etat Libre d'Orange....

In this perfume we gathered the poetry of Guillaume Apollinaire, the beauty of a bridge and the romanticism of Paris. A trail of sandalwood, pink pepper and cedarwood.

[...] Mirabeau, what a pretty word, peculiarly Parisian, suspended above the Seine. It composes a memory, joins another bank, and returns by following its trail of sandalwood, pink bay and cedar. In the heart of the City of Light, on the way to the twilight of the day, there is a bridge, a poem and a perfume.

A discreet and symbolic bridge, of the master-builder spirit which transcends borders, becoming better by coming together. Those solid foundations of cedar, sandalwood and orcanox span love and musk.

A poem as slow as it is violent, expressing the brutal and desirable hope of the one who would like to believe, of the one who wants to love. Vanilla, I write your name on the water, with muffled traces of incense and violet green.

A perfume to save us, fish us silently out of the water, bringing us above the Seine, our spirits on the water of our essences, bergamot and pink berry mingled with fig in a glass bottle, fiercely reuniting bodies in unison with souls, coming back to her by following her wake.
