Liquides Imaginaires: Lunatique, la mia recensione

[thebeautycove]

LIQUIDES IMAGINAIRES - LUNATIQUE - Alchemical Trilogy - Eau de Parfum - Novità 2024 -

Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. Intriguing and bewitching shiny star of poetic evocations, it seems to implore that introspection we cannot get rid of. And we do not wish to.

...

Una fragranza per nutrire le emozioni, navigare nel subconscio, affrontare la profondità dei pensieri e persistere nella conoscenza di sé, del proprio sentire interiore, nell’interminabile desiderio di comprendere, apprendere ed evolvere.

Liquides Imaginaires svela l’ultima creazione per la Alchemical Trilogy - Lunatique - un viaggio olfa-introspettivo di scoperta e trasformazione, forse il più arduo da intraprendere, una sfida a certi tratti del proprio temperamento, spesso consegnati all’oblio per negligenza o inquietudine.

Philippe di Meo riesce ad attraversare la creazione, attingendo a scienza ed esoterismo, immaginandola medium tra dimensione materiale e immateriale.

Lunatique è fragranza in moto perpetuo, tra luce ed ombra, malia dichiarata e sottaciuta, poesia per un’anima che ama l’oscurità ma non si sottrae al vezzoso incanto del sole. Spirito in evoluzione, guida del cambiamento, manifesto della mutevolezza e del mistero. 

Quanto è bella e spregiudicata questa lunatica essenza, definita da geniali contrasti odorosi, subito in piena luce, come solcata da potenti riflessi lenitivi, la freschezza resinosa di ginepro, la sfumatura soave citrina di pera e neroli, il pungente abbaglio del pepe Sichuan. 

Fata e strega nel suo mutare, l’evoluzione appare con una dolcezza venata di malinconia, insperata, amorevole, polverosa, di fiori e radici, iris e carota, zenzero e ciclamino, accordati per alternare fragilità e sicurezza, dubbi e certezze, un invito a specchiarsi nel suo halo, smarrirsi per ritrovarsi, impadronirsi del suo enigmatico silenzio.

Profonda e magnetica la scia, come a voler sondare l’impenetrabile abisso della notte, tonka, ambra, cuoio, sandalo, vetiver, oud, muschi, sono un ampio, soffice giaciglio in cui rannicchiarsi a contemplare l’astro della poesia, del romanticismo, a lei confidare segreti e passioni, sogni e desideri, e sentire di poter afferrare, per una volta, la sua misteriosa sfuggente bellezza.

Creata da Vincent Ricord.

Akro Infuse, Rendez-Vous, Parfum D'Empire showcase and other reviews - 2024

An intriguing cup of tea from Akro, gender-bending from Rendez-Vous and several evocative gems from Parfum D'Empire

An unusual cup of tea was on offer in a recent episode of Love At First Scent, in the form of the new Akro Infuse (Olivier Cresp). In the same broadcast, I talked about the intriguing Rendez-Vous, composed by Antoine Lie, after which I presented a showcase review of a brand that doesn’t get anywhere near the attention it deserves from me, Parfum D’Empire, all of whose wares are created by its…

re:Liquides Imaginaires Tellus: yeah that's the one. really sat with it for the first time today, even though i've thought of it as a favorite for years

the punch to the throat dirty animal sensation literally making me salivate that i always associated with Tellus is really just upon first application (costus and cashmeran i'd guess), and as that mostly evaporates (along with the patchouli i wish there was just generally less of), you're left with a magnetic skin scent, soft, just a little dirty, fuzzy, barely-sweet labdanum.

Les Liquides Imaginaires Tellus

Les Liquides Imaginaires Tellus

Nose: Nadege de Garlanezec

notes: soil tincture, patchouli, moss, labdanum, ambroxan, cashmeran, balsam fir, lily, costus

Tellus feels *very* synthetic in a generic way, ominously dark and, yes, a bit earthy, but without the complexity of a “real” perfume.

Mostly it’s a synthetic “ambery” “patchouli” (of what I think of as the Evil Grand Vizier style) like many others. The Grand Vizier goes to the mall.

"Satisfying the thirst of every creature, and turning the colour of all nature to red" Inspired by one of my favorite perfumes - Bloody Wood from Liquides Imaginaires I've made this small illustration.

Any of these gothic/slutty perfume brands or scents you'd recommend???

JUMPING FOR JOY AT THIS ASK

okay so disclaimer i haven’t tried all these myself (some of them are still shipping sigh), some of these are challenging fragrances, not every fragrance works with everyone’s skin chemistry, price point varies wildly, etc etc etc whatever. 🚨 i accidentally wrote a whole essay instead of just giving yall a list, be warned 🚨

for my taste in “gothic” perfumes i really use a pretty broad definition of the word “gothic,” but if you scroll through my blog a bit you probably understand the type of thing i like. i tend to like churchy scents or anything that leans towards something more melancholic.

les liquides imaginaires makes a lot of more subversive fragrances, but lacrima is my personal favorite. when i tried this one, i almost only smelled the incense on the opening, but as it dried down, it smelled like, eerily exactly what a catholic school smells like. now i didn’t go to a catholic school (god bless), but i did sing in a lot of catcholic churches and schools for the choirs i was in and it’s like a photorealistic recreation. i asked my friends who went to catholic schools to smell it and they all agreed. it’s that old, damp building that’s got faint trances of holy reverence and frankincense. lacrima’s notes are: elemi, benzoin, palisander rosewood, pink pepper, castoreum, and moss.

filippo sorcinelli has some fucking wild fragrances and easily some of if not the coolest bottles i’ve ever seen. i just bought a sample of reliqvia and im so stoked to try it. it’s supposed to be a very visceral depiction of the suffering of christ and also draws from very old, grand italian churches. like, the bottle literally has a nail from the cross on its design. stealing these from the website and not fragrantica, reliqvia’s notes are: (‘subject’: patchouli, incense, cashmere wood, guaiac wood, sandalwood / ‘counter subject’: orange blossom, scots pine, cloves, lentisk, amyris / ‘tail’: elemi, sweet orange, black currant, nutmeg, smoke notes, tobacco leaves).

relique d’amour by oriza l. legrand is another one i have on the way that im very excited for, although i admittedly know nothing about the brand. from what i can tell, its a combination of damp cellar and incense (old church yet again) and funereal lilies. someone on fragrantica said it smells like the mystic part of catholicism. very exciting to me. its notes are: (top: pine, herbal notes / middle: lily, incense, powdery notes, elemi, pepper, oak, myrrh / base: moss, woody notes, pepper, musk).

serge lutens is that girl for gothic perfume. depending on your niche, they have a bunch of really cool stuff, but tbh i wish the bottles had a little more swag. i got a sample of de profundis, which is supposed to be very melancholic. it’s got mums and soil and incense notes, which to me really just sounds like an actual funeral procession. people say it’s very hazy, almost phantasmic. its notes are: chrysanthemum, green notes, soil tincture, plum tree, and incense. i also picked up a sample of la religieuse, which like, i can’t even try and describe what the story behind this one. i just wanted one that was melancholic yet definitely feminine-leaning as opposed to unisex (although scents really should not be gendered. i’m just aching for some gender euphoria). its notes are: jasmine, musk, incense, and civet. also i got a sample of l’orpheline, which is described by others as being just very dreary. someone on fragrantica said that its cleanness reminds them of a freshly showered corpse. its notes are: black pepper, dry woods, and incense.

i can’t write much on this one because i just haven’t paid much attention to it, but i know funerie by pineward is pretty cool. it’s dead roses, smoke, cedar, and i am not kidding ! one of the notes in this perfume is blood ! the description is “rites of the dead, a shroud of bleakness. feasting fungi and wilted roses nestle atop charred pineboards and a base of heavy resins and incense. (a challenging perfume”. so i guess if you wanna smell like the ending scene from the vvitch this is probably the perfume for you. its notes are: dried rose, leather, incense, smoke, oud, myrrh, mushroom, cedar, tobacco, blood.

okay. huge, HUGE disclaimer for my sexy scents. by “sexy,” i do NOT mean shit that smells good and will make people want to sniff your neck until they’re drunk on your scent. i mean sex. tableaus of dirty fornication, unclean sleaziness, and fucking. these are pervy.

if any of this sounds appealing to you, marlou is your best friend. buy the sample set from them and enjoy. i personally have only sampled carnicure from them. but christ did i love it. to me, carnicure smells like masturbating and not washing your hands after, your smell only saved by faint traces of baby powder. like, imagine hooking up with a really toxic dude who wants to cum on your face and then doesn’t help you clean up, but then you’re late to something and hastily, sloppily clean up in the bathroom and only have time to save yourself by spritzing on his mom’s very vintage, powdery perfume. it’s not overpoweringly sleazy—i managed to get away with wearing it in public—but when i’d go back to smell my wrist, i’d get those beautiful, dainty violet notes, and then my lips would curl into a scandalous smirk at the raunchier notes. its notes are: (top: violet, orange blossom / middle: sandalwood, patchouli / bottom: musk, civet, labadanum). the other one i want from them is ambilux. dude, i don’t even know what to say about this one. one review (and god i love whoever wrote this, thank you “billy loom” on fragrantica) said it smells “as if i’m in the room when some of the most depraved images i’ve encountered in flickr are being taken.” so think teen boy stealing a girl’s dirty panties off the floor at a house party and draping them over his face while he jerk’s off, saves only by prettier notes of… someone said baccarat 540 ? werk. its notes are: (top: cumin, pink pepper / middle: incense, ylang-ylang / base: castoreum, costus, immmortelle).

scentsplit isn’t on my level of pervy perfumes, i guess, because i couldn’t get a sample of this one and the brand doesn’t sell a 1/2ml of it individually, but i NEED to try aftertaste by wile. there’s like barely information about it on fragrantica and i don’t even remember how i stumbled upon this one, so i’ll just quote the brand. “ash / leather / exotic saffron / musk / slick skin / disheveled nightstand. there’s something beautiful about a taste of such debauchery. the disheveled nightstand. slick skin gripping leather. a rose with a few too many thorns. disappearing into the shadows of deep and bittersweet musk, illicit and dark yet welcoming and warm despite its jagged edges. waking up to a familiar scent, yet unfamiliar face. a romance only recognized by a dinner. hard to dismiss, long after the taste.” from what i’ve heard, it’s definitely the most traditionally sexy of the perfumes i’ve listed here. still that immersive olfactory experience of having sex, but girly and hot. its notes are: leather, skin, ash, rose, musk, and saffron. i’m probably just gonna say fuck it at some point and blind buy it because something is wrong with me psychologically and i like this kind of thing.

hi mommy!! i'm a new follower and this may be a little unexpected and maybe weird but...

for some reason i think you smell like coconut body cream, such a delicate yet sensual scent

it's when the creamy sweetness of coconut envelops you and you don't even want to and can't resist the tantalizing aroma

something like this, i once had this cream and loved using it, it smells soooo good! for some reason it has become associated with you 🥺

Oh, we have a baby bunny here, well welcome to our naughty bunny kingdom.

You are right, I love coconut scents and I have many of them. I am not sure if I have told you this but I collect perfumes, I currently have about 40-50 bottles, including all the perfumes that Ateez wears.

I love very unique, heavy and rich scents. Scents that you will remember for a long time and that will definitely be associated with someone specific. When I walk into a room everyone knows it is me and when I leave my scent lingers for a long time.

At the moment, my favorites are Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Baccarat Rouge 540 KILIAN - Black Phantom (Mingi now uses the same perfume) TOM FORD - Tobacco Vanille Liquides Imaginaires - Beaute Du Diable Byredo - Reine de Nuit TOM FORD - Black Orchid (Wooyoung now uses the same perfume, and I must say, it is one of the sexiest scents imaginable. All my friends can't get away from me when I wear this perfume)

[coyoteincense]

can i ask for your recs for a basic bloody vampiric fragrance

yes of course :-) here are the ones i always think of when i think "vampire". i recommend getting samples first before any of these

bloody smoke by lorenzo pazzaglia - metallic, smoky, bloody. i think it's still smooth and amber-y enough to be wearable. i really like the incense in it!

bloody wood by liquides imaginaires is exactly what i think lestat from interview with the vampire smells like. it's a playful, sweet, riiiich spicy rose fragrance. maybe not as bloody as someone would like, but if you're going for a vampire fragrance that's wearable this is it

bull's blood by imaginary authors isn't the most wearable fragrance by any means but if you want to smell like a truly animalic bloody vampire, this is it. it's very deep, earthy and metallic. the patchouli and rose balance it somewhat but this packs a serious punch. i love imaginary authors though i really recommend their stuff and usually they give you a free surprise sample with your order too ^_^

carmilla by immortal perfumes is a super interesting one...blood, dead flowers, and a sort of sexy musk. i haven't tried this one yet but i've heard lots of good things about it and i really should get it soon because it's such a cheap sample

i've also heard good things about the witching hour by the conjured rose if you're looking for an indie fragrance!

[minowly]

Hi. I love your reply with all references of perfumes. It bring back a memory of an old post on your blog (many years ago) about how much you love them. What are your favorites if i may ask ?

Hi! Thank you very much! I remember that old post, though I cannot find it anymore. Nothing has changed since then, I am still unhealthy obsessed with perfumes. I have lots of favorites, so it is not that easy to make a short list... I am very much into vintage/old school/classic perfumes, avant garde niche, arabian stuff. My heart belongs to leathery, incense, oud, amber, patchouli, greenish notes.

I am a huge fan of Serge Lutens, I adore his style and vision of perfumery (created together with Christopher Sheldrake); I deeply respect Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons creations, I love Guerlain, Cacharel (old stuff they made), Amouage, État libre d'Orange, Frederic Malle, Tom Ford, Diptyque brands, every piece they make is special.

Сoncretely speaking, here are the perfumes I will always have (I hope to always have) in my collection in any form:

Guerlain "Shalimar" EDT/EDP

Byredo "M/Mink"

Serge Lutens "Baptême du Feu", "Chergui", "Ambre Sultan"

Calvin Klein "Obsession" and "CK One"

Les Liquides Imaginaires "Sancti"

BeauFort London "Terror & Magnificence"

Etat Libre d'Orange "Tilda Swinton Like This"

Diptyque "L’Ombre Dans L’Eau" EDP

Frederic Malle "Dans Tes Bras"

Tom Ford "London" or "Noir de noir"

Narciso Rodriguez "Narciso Rodriguez for Him" and "For her" in a pink bottle (EDP)

Chanel "Chanel No 5" EDP

Jacomo "Silences"

Paloma Picasso "Paloma Picasso"

Ted Lapidus "Creation"

Cacharel "LouLou", "Eden" and "Anais Anais"

The New Dawn/Novaya Zarya "Red Moscow"/"Krasnaya Moskva"

At the moment I have a small collection of 32 full size perfume bottles, and of course as a totally obsessed perfume maniac, I have lots of samples and atomizers of different sizes, with things I try daily (around 150 pieces). I also have three small vintage bottles of "Mitsouko" parfum (1985), "Shalimar" EDT (~1980s), and Otto Kern's "Noa Noa" (~1990s). My collection is not that big if to compare it with some influencers, but I enjoy having and trying every sample.

Sorry for the longposting, I can chitchat about perfumery for hours. The only thing to shut me up would probably be spraying "Baccarat rouge 540" in my face.

LIQUIDES IMAGINAIRES - LIQUIDE GOLD - Collezione Alchemical Trilogy - Eau de Parfum - Novità 2023 -

Sun. Gold. Alchemy. My liquid emotion.

•••

Cosa sprona a scoprire una nuova fragranza? Per me, l’aspetto più intrigante e suggestivo è quello legato alla fase concettuale creativa del profumo. Lì, in un attimo, si spalancano universi di meraviglia e mistero che meritano di essere sondati, che avvincono l’immaginazione, permeano la fantasia di nuovi scenari, in un infinito desiderio di possederne la conoscenza, di sperimentare nuove capacità sensoriali.

Philippe di Meo, direttore creativo di Liquides Imaginaires, ci offre l’ennesimo spaccato della sua vena poetico-artistica. Nella nuova collezione Trilogia Alchemica, di cui Liquide Gold è la prima, seducente espressione, la sperimentazione olfattiva si inerpica tra i meandri ignoti e potentemente evocativi delle emozioni, vaga alla ricerca di una luce primigenia, quella della sapienza e dello spirito, introduce in una nuova dimensione di mistica alchemica, alla ricerca del metallo sublime.

L’oro, emblema di luce, materia pulsante di vita e fulcro stesso della ricerca alchemica ha come simbolo il sole, stella madre, fonte inesauribile di energia. Focolare e tenerezza dell'esistenza lo appella Rimbaud, emblema di perfezione, segno della capacità umana di astrarre il pensiero dalla vita, metallo nobile da sempre in grado di condizionare culture e civiltà.

Così, tra simboli e leggende la fragranza assurge a mezzo di stupefacente potenzialità, in grado di sviluppare gesti liberatori e, come oro puro, alimentare rinnovati desideri di bellezza e spiritualità, nuovi inizi e obiettivi di vita.

Liquide Gold è oro nobile che riluce nella sua purezza incandescente.  Nei suoi accordi fiammeggiano note preziose che trascendono la materia e si trasformano in messaggi di sublime calore e conforto. Immersi in un liquido mirabile, gli aromi fluiscono in pienezza. Subito un mandarino succoso e raggiante sfuma nell’eleganza profonda e dorata dello zafferano. Un evviva di spezie, lampi cangianti sulle dolci corolle di gelsomino e fiore d’arancio, come un sole maturo che bacia e non brucia. Poi energia a profusione, l’accordo ambrato domina sui legni, la ricchezza smerigliata di vaniglia e cisto è illuminata all’infinito dai bagliori sfavillanti del muschio bianco.

Un Sole Liquido. Un destino indossarla. Un’allegoria di rigenerazione.

Creata da Quentin Bisch & Nisrine Grillie.

Eau de Parfum 100 ml. nel flacone maison total gold. In profumerie selezionate.

Fragrance Diary: 12/29

Bloody Wood by LIQUIDES IMAGINAIRES + a cardamom and sandalwood oil.

The sandalwood was completely overpowering and I didn’t get much cardamom from the oil, but that’s ok bc it really brought out the woodiness of bloody wood.

I love the wine notes in the perfume, mixes really well with the very subtle fruity notes and the prominent wood notes. It reminds me of falling in love with a woodworker. Very romantic.

Sandalwood and cardamom: 6/10

Bloody wood: 8.5/10

Combination: 8/10
