Rien by Etat Libre d’Orange, launched in 2006 and created by Antoine Lie, is a fearless Woody Chypre fragrance designed for both women and men. The name “Rien,” meaning “Nothing” in French, is a provocation — the scent is anything but nothing. It’s unapologetically intense, richly layered, and meant for those who embrace extremes.
The fragrance unfolds with a blast of aldehydes and black pepper, immediately followed by smoky incense and leather that define its dark and complex core. Beneath it all, labdanum, amber, and patchouli deepen the composition with warmth and earthiness, while a hint of rose softens the edges without losing the fragrance’s unrelenting character.
Rien is not for the faint of heart. It’s an olfactory armor — raw, expressive, and rebellious. Ideal for lovers of avant-garde perfumery who want a statement scent that lingers.
