Fleuve Tendre

• Romantic
• Evening

Fleuve Tendre suggests an encounter, something tender at first that gradually becomes more carnal and deep.

The opening is fresh and bright, with citrus mixed with spices that give it relief straight away. Very quickly the fragrance turns softer but also more unsettling, with a musky, slightly animalic heart and a discreet rose that adds an elegant touch.

Over time the fragrance reveals a darker, more sensual side. Notes of leather, incense and musk take hold and give an almost addictive depth. The result is a perfume of contrasts, between freshness, softness and animal sensuality, like a love story that unfolds.

Liquides Imaginaires is a French artistic perfume house founded in 2012 by Philippe Di Méo, a designer, and David Frossard, Artistic Director. In Antiquity, perfume was addressed to the gods before it was addressed to people. It is this original dimension, sacred and transformative, that Philippe Di Méo seeks to restore. Each collection bears a name that refers to the invisible world. Les Eaux Delà, because perfume has always been what crosses over, what passes to the other side. Les Eaux de Peau, because before language, human beings communicated through scent, through skin, through the animal they still were. Les Eaux Sanguines, because wine and blood share the same colour and the same sacred intoxication. Les Eaux de l'Est, because the incense and spice routes shaped perfumery long before Grasse. And Les Eaux Imaginaires call on the great maps of desire, from the Carte de Tendre to the geographies invented by literature. Three perfumes per collection, always. For Philippe Di Méo, the number three is perfect balance: body, soul, mind. Past, present, future. Each bottle, designed like an ancient vessel with gold or silver stoppers, is a ritual object in itself. He describes his creations as talismans in the literal sense: objects charged with power, able to open something in the person who wears them.
