About This Perfume
Think bright citrus fruit tea, spiced with saffron and wood: that is Les Liquides Imaginaires Saffron Mandarin. It opens with Italian mandarine orpur®, lemon petitgrain orpur® and blood orange, moves into Comorian ylang-ylang orpur®, jasmine absolute orpur® and saffron and settles on oak wood, siam benzoin orpur® and Spanish labdanum. It reads unisex.
This fragrance is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days. Released in 2025.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

What the picks smell like
Les Liquides Imaginaires Blanche Bête (EDP, 2021) reads as creamy milk pudding warmed by cocoa and vanilla, drying down to tonka bean, vanilla and cocoa. Les Liquides Imaginaires Dom Rosa (2013) comes across as sparkling grapefruit, pear and rose with warm incense, opening on champagne and grapefruit. For Les Liquides Imaginaires Bloody Wood (2013), expect smoky red wine cherries, rose and violets over oak.
