Buveur de Vent

Buveur de Vent by Liquides Imaginaires is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier.

Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Tarragon Anise-tinged and green. Adds a herbal lift to barbershop scents.

Heart

Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.

Dry-down

Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Mate Dry, smoky, bitter green tea. Toasted rather than fresh.
Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
