Tilda Swinton Like This was launched in 2010 by French indie house Etat Libre d'Orange. From the beginning, Swinton had a very clear vision of what a fragrance with her name on it would smell like, and she wanted to be deeply involved in the creative process with perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui.

It opens with a sweet, tangy tangerine that’s bright, lively and captivating. It’s followed by a warm, spicy note of ginger joined by creamy, earthy pumpkin. It smells like a cake or pie out of the oven, cooling on a breadboard. I love an unexpected gourmand twist, and this one sets the tone for the rest of the fragrance. A note of immortelle smells like warm spices and maple syrup and bridges the top notes to the heart where Moroccan neroli, citrusy, fresh and floral, links to a lush note of Grasse rose that’s rich, honeyed and powdery. At the base, earthy, woody vetiver is gently balanced by floral, vanilla-tinged heliotrope. Musks smooth the blend and create a sense of intimacy.

Tilda Swinton Like This dries to a familiar, comforting skin scent with a stirring, haunting beauty.

Tilda Swinton Like This is not an edgy, sexy, or weird, unwearable scent. It’s a deeply personal fragrance created for Tilda Swinton, the real person, not Tilda Swinton, the celebrity.

Notes: Yellow tangerine, ginger, pumpkin, immortelle flower, Moroccan neroli, Grasse rose, vetyver, heliotrope, musks.
