This woman is on a journey, a quest to discover the answer to that eternal mystery – where is love? She peels away the layers of her private needs, her personal longings. She follows an instinctive path, to that place where now meets then, and she recognizes that the answer was there all along. And how does it feel, to find the scent that brings you home? Like this.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A late afternoon at home, with something baking and garden soil still on your shoes. Ginger gives the soft pumpkin warmth a lively edge, while vetiver keeps the sweetness grounded. This is a close, unhurried presence, suited to conversation that settles in rather than demands attention.
How to wear
The warm pumpkin, spice and immortelle accord makes this a natural choice for autumn and cooler days. Start with one or two sprays on the chest or forearms for a restrained effect, then adjust on your skin. In warm rooms, use a lighter hand to keep the sweeter facets from dominating the neroli and vetiver.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to savory-leaning gourmands, warm spices and earthy woods rather than dessert-like sweetness. Its pumpkin and immortelle will appeal to anyone who enjoys familiar smells rendered slightly unexpected, with neroli bringing light to the composition.
Release year
2010
The nose
Mathilde Bijaoui, a perfumer at MANE, is known for compositions that give warmth and texture to spices, woods and gourmand materials. Her work includes Jo Malone London's Myrrh & Tonka. For Like This, she translated Tilda Swinton's personal references into an unusual balance of pumpkin, ginger, immortelle and earthy woods: comforting, but not conventionally confectionery.
Collaborators
Tilda Swinton shaped the creative brief around the feeling of returning to her home in Scotland. She contributed memories of her house, garden, greenhouse and baking, while ginger reflected both her hair color and her fondness for its taste. These intimate references guided Mathilde Bijaoui's composition rather than serving as a literal ingredient list.
Etat Libre d'Orange’s story
Founded by Étienne de Swardt in 2006, État Libre d'Orange treats perfumery as a space for creative freedom, irreverence and experiments beyond conventional good taste. Its restrained bottles leave the provocation to the fragrances. Like This takes a quieter route through that philosophy, making an unexpected pumpkin-and-ginger accord feel deeply personal.
Like This’s concept
Introduced to the house by Rossy de Palma, Tilda Swinton wanted a fragrance that could carry the reassurance of her Scottish home while she traveled. The concept grew from domestic memories rather than celebrity glamour. Its name draws on a poem by Rumi, while the house's accompanying story imagines a homesick Alice discovering a golden scent with a ginger stem.
Extra info
Like This won the Specialists' Prize at France's Les Parfums 2011 ceremony. Its development code name was reportedly "Immortal Ginger," an apt pairing of two central notes. MANE also identified ginger PURE JUNGLE ESSENCE™ among the materials used in the formula.
