Moody

• Romantic Evening

"Lunatique" plays on contrasts, like a fragrance that changes its character over time. It begins with something lively and almost luminous, with fresh and slightly spicy notes that give an impression of energy. But very quickly, the fragrance becomes calmer, more composed, with a softer texture and a slightly powdery aspect that brings elegance. Then the fragrance shifts towards something deeper and darker. Woody, leathery, and slightly smoky notes take over and give the perfume a more mysterious character. It's a fragrance that evolves a lot, that never stays static, with a clean, soft side and at the same time a more intense and almost animalistic side. You really get the impression of a multifaceted fragrance, between lightness and depth.

Liquides Imaginaires is a French artistic perfumery house founded in 2012 by Philippe Di Méo, designer, and David Frossard, Artistic Director. In ancient times, perfume was addressed to the gods before it was addressed to men. It is this original, sacred, and transformative dimension 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, what passes to the other side. "Les Eaux de Peau" because before language, human beings communicated through smell, through the skin, through the animal they still were. "Les Eaux Sanguines" because wine and blood share the same color 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" evoke the great maps of desire, from the Map of Tendre to the geographies invented by literature. Three perfumes per collection, always. For Philippe Di Méo, the number three is perfect balance: body, soul, spirit. Past, present, future. Each bottle, designed as an antique vessel with gold or silver caps, is itself a ritual object. He describes his creations as talismans in the literal sense: objects imbued with power, capable of opening something within the wearer.
