Perfumer: Daniela Andrier (Givaudan)
All listed notes were subjected to an upcycling extraction process. What previously would be discarded was distilled again.
Pulp olfaction: waste not, discover new smells.
According to ELdO this is their Secretion Magnifiques which grew up and use the power of shock and eccentricity to draw attention to really important matters: environment and ethical consumption.
Upcycled or zero-waste notes in I am trash: rose neo-absolute, apple essense, Atlas cedarwood, sandalore, akigalawood, iso-e-super...
The resulting fragrance is a very pleasant perfume abstraction in which fruity vibes meet gently floral hints before going transparent woody. But still beware of Etat Libre d’Orange also mischievously revisiting the salty messy splutter of Secretions Magnifiques now and then in this formula.
The Sniff on I am Trash by Etat Libre d'Orange:
"[it] opens with the most beautiful and realistic apple note and it’s an utter delight. This apple smells really ripe, outdoorsy and fresh. When smelling it we were immediately transported to an allotment, picking up windfalls which are a bit battered and bruised in places but still mostly fine. I Am Trash smells like real apples resplendent with imperfections, rather than the perfect, sterile, waxy cold-storage apples you can buy in supermarkets which barely smell of anything at all."
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close conversation and everyday movement, when you want something intelligent and lightly subversive rather than loud. Its ripe apple and soft floral core feel best in intimate settings, where the scent can read as fresh, slightly bruised fruit and clean woods rather than a polished bouquet.
How to wear
Best in mild weather and moderate temperatures, where its apple freshness and transparent woods can breathe. Apply lightly to the skin and clothing: it projects with a crisp, natural opening, then settles into a softer floral-woody trail that stays close without becoming heavy.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like modern florals with a twist: realistic fruit, soft rose, clean woods and an idea behind the scent. It suits people drawn to niche perfumery, transparent compositions and fragrances that feel a little imperfect, a little clever and not overly sweet.

The nose
Daniela Andrier is known for a refined, modern style that often makes complex ideas feel airy and wearable. Working with Givaudan, she has created some of the most distinctive designer and niche fragrances of the last two decades, including Prada Infusion d’Iris, Miu Miu, Sì, and several compositions for Etat Libre d’Orange. Her work often balances clarity with tension: clean lines, transparent textures and a subtle sense of disruption. In I am Trash, that sensibility suits the concept perfectly, letting the apple and rose read as natural and immediate before the scent drifts into a softer woody abstraction.
Etat Libre d'Orange’s story
Etat Libre d’Orange builds its identity on freedom, irony and provocation, treating perfumery as a space for ideas rather than convention. The house favors bold concepts, sharp naming and compositions that feel intellectually playful while still remaining polished and wearable.
I am Trash | Les Fleurs du Dechet’s concept
I am Trash was conceived as an upcycled fragrance, built from materials that had already been extracted once and then distilled again. The idea is to turn waste into beauty, using the scent itself to point toward environmental awareness and more ethical consumption, while keeping the brand’s taste for mischief and surprise.
Extra info
All listed materials were presented as upcycled, with the fragrance built around the idea of re-distilling what would otherwise be discarded. The name, Les Fleurs du Déchet, turns that concept into a deliberately cheeky floral title.
