Description
Bête Humaine by Liquides Imaginaires is a compelling woody aromatic fragrance launched in 2021, designed to evoke the untamed spirit within. It opens with an earthy and aromatic blend of roasted chestnut, green violet leaf, mastic, and a hint of spicy cumin, immediately conjuring images of wild nature. As it develops, the heart reveals a sophisticated blend of creamy sandalwood, Virginian cedarwood, cistus labdanum, and woody notes, balancing its primal character with refinement. The scent settles into a deep, resinous base of Haitian vetiver, papyrus, guaiac wood, cypriol, and pine, creating a green, leathery, and subtly smoky finish that lingers on the skin.
