Above the Waves by Etat Libre d’Orange is a refined Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men, launched in 2025. True to the brand’s artistic spirit, this scent evokes calm elevation, clarity, and quiet strength—like rising above noise and motion into a space of balance and perspective.

The fragrance opens with a fresh yet contemplative blend of bergamot and frankincense. The citrus brightness of bergamot is softened by the resinous, meditative quality of frankincense, creating a serene and airy introduction.

At the heart, a distinctive infusion of tea, oolong tea, and rose unfolds. The tea notes bring a smooth, aromatic depth with a slightly smoky nuance, while rose adds a gentle floral softness that keeps the composition elegant and fluid rather than overtly floral.

The base settles into a grounded and natural blend of cypress, cedar, and vetiver. These woody notes provide structure, freshness, and a clean, earthy finish that lingers with quiet confidence. Minimalist yet expressive, Above the Waves is ideal for all-season wear and appeals to those who appreciate thoughtful, modern niche perfumery.
