Les Liquides Imaginaires · 2016 · EDP
Île Pourpre
Unspecified
Île Pourpre, the fragrance that embodies the mystery and enchantment of an unknown island. A solitary passion, an escape from reality, this scent is as rare as the fruits that grow on this island. The purplish juice that trickles from the island's trees is sought after across the Mediterranean for its deep, unfamiliar flavor. From this precious liquid, a rare perfume is extracted, a subtle alliance between the cool of the night and the sensuality of black fig.
