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.
