You Or Someone Like You Etat Libre d'Orange (Decant)

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.

"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." 

— Chandler Burr

To me, You Or Someone Like you reminds me of childhood. Riding in my grandpa's old pickup truck with worn down leather seats, the crisp green smell of freshly-cut grass, and the smell of someone chewing spearmint gum while telling me and my sister to stop fighting. This smells like my childhood summers, before I had to pay bills...Or deal with back pain. *sigh*
