Désert Suave
Désert Suave by Liquides Imaginaires is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom, mandarin and clove, moves into orange blossom, rose and dates and dries down to labdanum, sesame and cedarwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Dates Sticky, jammy dried fruit. The backbone of Middle Eastern gourmands.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Sesame Toasted, nutty and a little savoury.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
