French niche line Liquides Imaginaires has launched Imaginarium, a new collection of nine unisex fragrances: Bergamot Brother, Buddha Blend, Cedrat Tonic, Lime Sister, Pistachio Cousin, Roasted Tangerine, Saffron Mandarin, Seductive Cedrat and Upcycled Mandarin.

Introducing Imaginarium, an innovative perfume collection that makes the hybridization of citrus its new creative language. Nine unique fragrances, developed by our Creative Director @di_meo_prospero_ in collaboration with seven Givaudan perfumery students.

Bergamot Brother ~ "A luminous citrus symphony where the green vibrancy of bergamot is softened by the sweetness of orange and mandarin, delicately cooled by angelica. At its heart, a bouquet of pure white flowers is infused with the warm spice of cinnamon, ginger, and saffron, adding depth and intrigue. The fragrance gently settles into a clean, amber-infused base, radiating warmth and pure positivity." Additional notes include cardamom, orange blossom, white pepper, nutty fruit accord, akigalawood, cedar, benzoin, cosmone, ambrocenide, leather and ambrofix.

Buddha Blend ~ "A tribute to nature’s generosity—an ode to a fruit that unfolds like an open hand, offering its gifts with abundance. This refined and delicate gourmand creation merges two distinct souls. The radiant juiciness of yuzu, intensified by a luminous medley of sweet citrus, meets a base that is both dense and ethereal. Here, the opulence of velvet orchid intertwines with the soft, enveloping sweetness of vanilla and tonka bean, creating a scent that is as comforting as it is exquisite." Additional notes include caviar lemon accord, ginger, levistamel (milky accord), vetiver, georgywood, ebanol (sandalwood note) and ambrofix.

Cedrat Tonic ~ "A vibrant cocktail of energy and zest, designed to awaken the senses with an electrifying freshness. This fragrance opens with the crisp sharpness of juniper, the effervescence of delicate bubbles, and the tangy bitterness of grapefruit. At its heart, a refreshing fusion of citron mint, ginger, and jasmine buds adds depth, while rosemary gently tempers the sweetness. The base unfolds with a cool, invigorating blend of musks and amber woods, delivering a final burst of pure vitality." Additional notes include london dry gin accord, lemon, pink pepper, ambrette seed, elemi and akigalawood.

Lime Sister ~ "A rich and multifaceted composition that unveils a captivating, seductive soul. Lime’s sharp zest is softened by the round sweetness of orange, while Pomarose introduces the luscious nuances of apple, raisin, and dried fruit, creating a full-bodied and pure sensation. At its heart, a sensual floral bouquet emerges, evoking the mystery of nocturnal gardens. These delicate yet intoxicating blooms weave seamlessly into the composition, adding a pulse of deep allure and quiet intensity." Additional notes include lemon, bitter orange, bergamot, grapefruit, jasmine, mimosa, broom, cosmone, vanilla, ambrofix and galaxolide.

Pistachio Cousin ~ "A bold hybrid inspired by the Tree of Life, balancing sharp freshness with creamy richness. This fragrance begins as a sparkling, green blend before evolving into a gourmand delight, enriched by the nutty facets of pistachio, hazelnut, and almond. At its heart lies the unexpected depth of black lemon—created by curing citrus in salted water—bringing a unique twist to the vibrant juiciness. Milky, sweet, and caramelized nuances soften the intensity, while Earl Grey tea, along with the delicate essence of lemon and orange blossoms and leaves, adds a refined breath of freshness. The base is rooted in woody notes with incense-like vibrancy, evoking the textured bark of this imaginary tree." Additional notes include bergamot, lemon, elemi, orange, incense, petitgrain, neroli, cypriol, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, akigalawood and musk.

Roasted Tangerine ~ "A mandarin kissed by the warm sun of its native land, its aromatic peel gently toasted, releasing smoky and leathery nuances. This rich, textured citrus blend is enveloped in the warm vibrancy of toasted fennel seeds, adding a dry, smoky aromatic edge. Deep, grounding notes of wood, coffee, and incense evoke the soul of Morocco—its sun-drenched streets and spice-laden markets—perfectly contrasting with the full, round, and juicy essence of the fruit." Additional notes include bergamot, blood orange, petitgrain, ginger, cedar, smoky woody accord, tonka bean, akigalawood, ambrofix and white musk.

Saffron Mandarin ~ "An olfactory celebration of a unique hybrid, where the bold juiciness of mandarin meets the enigmatic depth of saffron. The journey begins with a vibrant citrus medley, enhanced by the cool, aniseed, and metallic facets of exotic spices. As the fragrance unfolds, saffron emerges at the heart, weaving through delicate floral notes, infusing warmth and richness. In the base, saffron’s velvety embrace deepens into luxurious suede undertones, leaving an irresistible and sophisticated trail." Additional notes include lemon, mandarin, blood orange, lemon petitgrain, black pepper, pink pepper, jasmine, ylang ylang, oak, tonka bean, benzoin and labdanum.

Seductive Cedrat ~ "A rich and indulgent gourmand creation—an elegant, radiant take on a lemon tart. The fragrance opens with the tangy sweetness of citron, brightened by vibrant strokes of yuzu, lemon, and green mandarin. At its heart, a milky floral accord enhances the creamy texture, deepening the composition’s velvety allure. As it settles, a luscious base of vanilla and amber unfolds, while sandalwood and toasted sesame lend a warm, biscuity undertone, making this scent irresistibly tempting." Additional notes include pink pepper, jasmine, methyl lactone (green & milky note), cedar and musk.

Upcycled Mandarin ~ "A mandarin in its purest and most complete form—brought to life through multiple extractions to unveil its full complexity and richness. The fragrance opens with a vibrant citrusy-green burst, elevated by the cool, crisp nuances of pink pepper and cardamom. As it unfolds, a floral and aromatic heart emerges, infused with hints of luscious fruit nectar. Helichrysum takes center stage, its golden warmth seamlessly enriched by the sweet, honeyed depth of almond, vanilla, and benzoin. The base, grounded by powdery woods, harmonizes with the delicate earthiness of immortelle, creating a refined and lasting impression." Additional notes include mandarin, lemon, lavender, orange blossom, nectaryl (nectarine note), mahonia, cedar, amber and vetiver.
