Don't be misled by the first impression
You can hardly avoid the Liquid Gold these days. For this reason, I decided to test this fragrance and went to my trusted perfumery.
At first, I found the scent on the blotter outstanding. Rather sweet, floral, with a hint of sour fruitiness. I was so overwhelmed by the uniqueness of this fragrance that I had to buy it.
So, I decided to purchase it and wanted to wear it the next day. However, the sharp, zesty top note kept making me sneeze. I could thus understand the parallel with the scent to One Million. That fragrance also always makes me wrinkle my nose. For a week, I didn’t dare to wear this scent extensively - which in hindsight was a mistake.
I decided to take the risk and sprayed a good 8 spritzes along my neck. The top note is still a bit of an acquired taste: slightly piercing, very sharp, and floral for me.
However, the development of this fragrance leaves me speechless. It evolves into a sweet scent that almost leans towards a gourmand note. In my opinion, this smell is comparable to cookie dough. Yet, it never loses its floral note. I’m not a fan of floral fragrances at all - this scent has taught me otherwise.
Additionally, the fragrance appears creamy, similar to a sunscreen (whose smell I actually also detest) with an orange note.
It seems that the fragrance has everything I dislike and yet turns out to be my new favorite in my collection.
I only understand the association with a hospital in the first few minutes of the scent. After that, it is as pleasing as very few fragrances I know.
The longevity also impresses me. I have to re-spray it in the evening if the night is going to be long. However, that’s the case for almost every fragrance for me.
The bottle is an absolute 10/10 for me. It visually integrates into any collection, in my opinion.
I have been wearing this scent almost continuously for 2 weeks in everyday life as well as in the evenings when going out. It is just so versatile and unique.
I have rarely smelled something so complex.
Test it! For many, it will be worth it.

Feelings that Last
Do you know those encounters that make you overflow with joy and from which you never expected to feel so deeply?
This fragrance is the equivalent of that.
It starts off cheerfully floral, almost innocent. But there is something behind it, something that you already know is more than just a little infatuation. There is something spicy. Something that shakes you up a bit in a sexy way. You will probably feel this encounter in every part of your being. It will resonate. And it is special.

And it should be that way. Over time (after about 1 hour for me), the fragrance becomes so warm and soft while remaining spicy, that it tingles inside me and the floral note resonates in a way that I have rarely smelled so beautifully in combination.
This is something special. And it lasts. It envelops and warms me, it embraces and seduces me. Someone has come to stay. And I hope and want it to stay.
I can still smell the vanilla on me in a particularly flattering way the next morning. Good. I won't let you go.

Liquid Gold
The opening of Liquide "Gold" is simply dreamy. This mandarin note stands out from everything I have ever smelled before.
But the special thing is the solar note, which only reveals itself later in the fragrance development. This is beautifully rounded off with a lovely orange blossom and vanilla. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful scents ever and currently my favorite. The longevity and sillage are also above average, and the bottle is extremely high quality.

perfect feel-good mix
One of the best, if not the best, from the brand! In the opening, the fine mandarin note is particularly convincing, which then settles a bit in the drydown and is supported by the solar note. Fruity, creamy, and slightly spicy, the fragrance DNA remains consistent, making this scent an absolute "evergreen" for me that can be worn all year round.

Longevity and sillage are above average!

Liquid Gold is always ready to bring a smile to people's faces :)

Somehow special
The Liquide (2022) from Liquides Imaginaires captivated me from the very beginning with its incredibly noble and massive bottle. I was so taken with the bottle that I had to order the fragrance online without hesitation. Of course, this was preceded by an extensive study of the notes and statements here on Parfumo, so I was particularly curious about the neoprene or plastic note that was often described here. Biscuit-like sweetness, creamy spice, and that certain something were promised, and I must say, I was not disappointed.

The top note:
It indeed starts with a bizarre neoprene note that smells like damp plastic. There’s an association with thick soft plastic, similar to swimming rings or transparent toiletry bags that were forgotten in the sun during summer. At the same time, there’s a certain smokiness and leatheriness swirling around, which I can't quite describe the scent of. The whole thing has something mysterious, something unusual. Perhaps some will gratefully decline here, but I say: Stick with it, it’s worth it!

The heart note:
Slowly, this synthetic plastic note recedes into the background, and saffron, vanilla, mandarin, and orange blossom spread out. Carrot seeds and jasmine are also slightly recognizable in the background. In the heart note, the fragrance feels balanced and attractive. A wonderfully biscuit-like sweetness reminiscent of biscuits served in expensive cafés with espresso spreads out. A certain parallel can be drawn to "1 Million (Eau de Toilette) | Rabanne," but in my opinion, it’s misplaced. I also cannot understand the comparison with Initio's "Side Effect | Initio." The Liquide is noble, mysterious, and has that certain something. You don’t quite understand what you’re dealing with, but you can’t stop smelling it.

The base note:
The drydown is extremely pleasing. The schizophrenia of the top note and the mystery of the heart note have completely faded away. Here, a wonderful vanilla with creamy biscuit-like qualities dominates, which comes across very friendly and doesn’t offend anyone.

Longevity and sillage:
With the right dosage, the Liquide (2022) can accompany you all day long. The projection is solid, and indoors, you will be well perceived at a distance of 1-2 meters for several hours. Nothing that disturbs or annoys, but definitely long-lasting and enduring.

Conclusion:
Liquide (2022) is a very successful release. Together with "Blanche Bête | Liquides Imaginaires," Liquides Imaginaires has managed to create fragrances that completely resonate with me. The bottles are massive, the price is still bearable, and you get everything except boredom served.

The Liquide (2022) is unisex wearable, but it really shines on males over 20. A clear recommendation from my side!

This is how to do a saffron note! Blended perfectly with the mandarin. Seductive and mysterious yet playful and energetic

Sweet-spicy-creamy-floral: prominent saffron, creamy white musk, vanilla & floral tones. On-skin, I'd say it's adjacent to Blonde Amber.

Pungent saffron and mandarin opening, creamy vanilla and musk drydown, with floral warmth shining through the heart notes. Sweet and sexy.

Orange from Orange Flamingo, vanilla from Rosendo Mateu No5 and a gently floral independent DNA result in a really great creation

A beautiful and ethereal opening, like a fluffy sunkissed cloud. Dries to an abstract radiant warmth on the skin, golden, like the bottle.

I was a bit on the fence about this one and then I got told I smell like industrial strength glue while wearing it... Not for me, I'm afraid

Very Floral drydown but still very unisex and wearable

On my skin, saffron, carrot seed and some other note combine to smell like urine, ew. Then it dries down to a generic orange scent.

Orange blossom with bright fruity notes and a summer vibe on top, without being too much like sunscreen. Totally fine.
