Melancolia
Melancolia by Liquides Imaginaires is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with ginger and mint, moves into lemongrass and dries down to cardamom, bay leaf and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
Heart
- Lemongrass Sharp, grassy lemon. Bright and clean, with a herbal edge.
Dry-down
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Bay Leaf Warm, aromatic and slightly sweet. The backbone of classic barbershop scents.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
