Description
Navis by Liquides Imaginaires is a woody aquatic fragrance launched in 2022, crafted to evoke the spirit of adventure and the allure of the open sea. It opens with a bright, invigorating blend of ambrette seeds, pink peppercorn, grapefruit, and bergamot, setting a crisp and lively tone. The heart introduces a distinctive marine accord with laminaria algae, creating a fresh, oceanic character that feels both serene and powerful. As it settles, the fragrance reveals a grounding base of oakmoss, amyris, and cedarwood, providing a woody depth that beautifully balances the initial aquatic freshness. This scent offers a unique take on marine themes, moving beyond traditional fresh scents with its spicy and woody undertones.
