Discovery Set de Liquides Imaginaires

Liquides Imaginaires was founded in 2012, when designer Philippe Di Méo and distributor David Frossard joined forces to restore perfume to its sacred dimension. The brand, conceived during an artistic installation at Paris Design Week, draws inspiration from ancient Egyptian rituals, where incense was used to communicate with the gods. Each fragrance works like a liquid talisman, a sensory journey organized into thematic trilogies created by Givaudan, Flair, and Fleur noses. The bottle, with its stopper shaped like an ancient amphora, holds the perfume like a mysterious manuscript: each one is a chapter in a story waiting to be discovered.

Sancti: the house's first creation, a pillar of purification in the Eaux Delà Trilogy. A contemporary incense, luminous and fresh: bergamot, grapefruit, and cypress burst open like a ray of light, giving way to an aromatic heart of lavender, rosemary, and cardamom. The base of incense, myrrh, cedar, and benzoin evokes the mineral quality of holy water. Spiritual without being somber, sacred yet vibrant.

Fortis: the dark counterpart to Sancti in the same trilogy, an embodiment of protective strength. Saffron, cumin, oud, and cypriol open with hypnotic intensity. A heart of guaiac wood, cedar, amyris, and vetiver builds a cathedral of smoky woods, while the base of amber, patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla wraps around you like black ink. The fragrance as invisible armor.

Désert Suave: the third chapter of the Eaux Imaginaires Trilogy, an edible mirage in the middle of the desert. Indian cardamom, mandarin, and clove open with spicy warmth; the heart reveals orange blossom, rose, and date, like a tray of fruit in an oasis, and the base of cistus, toasted sesame, and atlas cedar leaves a golden trail that is soft and enveloping. Nominated for the FiFi Award 2019.

Fleur de Sable: the queen of the dunes, from the Eaux de l'Est Trilogy. A spicy rose born from the desert wind: bergamot and pink pepper open with mineral freshness, the heart of rosehip and paprika brings a character that is both piquant and silky, and the base of black pepper, myrrh, iris, and ambroxan gives it resinous depth. Delicate, sandy, and enigmatic.

Blanche Bête: the house's most iconic fragrance, from the Eaux de Peau Trilogy. Inspired by the unicorn, a white, pure, imaginary beast, it opens with a enveloping milky accord of milk, ambrette, and Mystikal. The heart of tuberose, jasmine, incense, and Mahonial unfolds white flowers with mystical depth. The base of vanilla, cocoa, tonka bean, and musk closes with addictive creaminess. A floral gourmand unlike anything else.
