The Liquides Imaginaires House
Liquides Imaginaires, a French artistic perfume house founded by Philippe Di Méo, seeks to return to the very essence of perfume and reveal its magical dimension and transformative power. Its creations capture a state of mind, life stages, desires and inner strengths, to preserve a precious memory forever. The story always comes first: the brief that Philippe Di Méo sends to fragrance houses is based first and foremost on stories and legends, which are then translated into fragrances.
The collections take the form of trilogies: three fragrances, like the three chapters of a book. Les Eaux Sanguines draw inspiration from sacred wines. Les Eaux de l’Est traces the journey of fragrances from the East to the West along the routes of Arab spice merchants; the Arabic language has more than forty words for ‘perfume’. Les Eaux Imaginaires are legendary liquids, olfactory tales and dreamt-of waters. Les Eaux de l’Âme translate the invisible movements of the soul into fragrance. The stopper recalls the amphora, a vessel used in antiquity to transport or preserve the most precious essences.
Liquides Imaginaires fragrances are available at Sayhar
Âme de Fleur: born from Aphrodite’s tears, it reimagines the anemone, a symbol of eternal love, desire, and transformation. A white floral with intoxicating notes of tuberose and sambac jasmine, opening with rose and green pear, and a base of cashmere wood.
Blanche Bête: an enchanted garden through which a white horse with a single horn passes. Ambrette seed and a milky accord, followed by jasmine, tuberose, and incense, on a base of tonka bean, cocoa, and musky vanilla.
Desert Suave: an imaginary land at the heart of a vast arid expanse, where travellers from the oasis blend rose and orange blossom. Cardamom, mandarin and clove, followed by orange blossom, rose and date, on a base of rockrose, toasted sesame and cedar.
Dom Rosa: inspired by the queen of flowers, a rose that evokes the vineyards and chalky soils where it grows. A champagne accord, grapefruit and pear, followed by Damask rose, clove and incense, on a base of cedar, vetiver and guaiac wood.
Fleur de Sable: born of the whims of the desert wind, a flower with salty, crystalline petals. Bergamot, pink peppercorns and a water-and-salt accord, followed by wild rose, paprika and immortelle, on a base of black pepper, myrrh and iris.
Fleuve Tendre: inspired by the Map of Tendre, the legendary allegory of love. Mandarin, black pepper, cardamom and saffron, followed by rose water and geranium, on a base of vetiver, patchouli, incense and suede.
