Lunatique

• Evening
• Romantic

Lunatique plays on contrasts, like a fragrance that changes face as time goes by. It starts with something lively and almost luminous, with fresh, lightly spiced notes that give a sense of energy.

But very quickly it becomes calmer, more composed, with a softer texture and a slightly powdery side that adds elegance. Then the fragrance tips into something deeper and darker. Woody, leathery and lightly smoky notes take up more space and give it a more mysterious character.

This is a perfume that evolves a great deal and never stands still, at once clean and soft and yet more intense, almost animalic. It really does feel like a fragrance with two sides, between lightness and depth.

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.
