Pistachio Cousin by Les Liquides Imaginaires

Les Liquides Imaginaires · 2024 · EDP

Pistachio Cousin

Unspecified

A bold hybrid from the Imaginarium collection 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.
