Liquide

Got my bottle in today! This is/was one of my most anticipated orders ever. As a collector I think knowing they only made 999 of these I would have bought it regardless the smell, but I did sample it first and thankfully it was an instant love for me. Problem was by the time I got the sample the only place that still had stock was Scentsplit, and they had upped the price from $295 to $395. I waited about a day pondering if I wanted to spend that and decided I had to. At worst its an investment. Turns out I got the last bottle and the price jumped to $695 for backorders. Not sure they will be back though. Anyway the smell...(also ordered a 10ml decant from scentsangel. I'm not opening the numbered box) The solar notes is the star for me. They did an excellent job of relaying..well, liquid gold. Slightly warm like how the sunshine is on your face or the way the rays or heat from the rays smell shining into a room from a window. Although being my favorite part the Solar Notes are not all that's going on. Warm Musk is there with the Saffron just behind it as well as semi thick vanilla. Not dry but not full gourmand in the way it presents itself. Jasmine is around the edges and not hard to detect however also not sharp. Labdanum gives a leather feel to this, I can see how TF Ombre Leather is a candidate for a "reminds me of ". If you take a deep slow smell you can tie them together. To me, what first came to mind for some reason was Carlisle from PDM. side by side they are way different though. It's the way the Musk comes off. The way this is so well blended yet still able to pull singular notes is amazing in itself, typically you get it one way or the other. The Mandarin didn't jump out like I expected but rather it helped to create the "gold" mixing with the Musk, Saffron and Vanilla mainly. Overall this is a true masterpiece, I love it more and more and I notice more as I get to wear it. Unfortunate it's a limited stock but I'm grateful and very happy to be the owner of #485! I feel it's worth noting this is one of the most sexy fragrances I've ever smelled. Perfectly Unisex IMHO. (I'm a male) If you can find a bottle of this left don't hesitate. It's a banger! I'd say this is very versatile as well. Even summer nights I can see pulling this off no problem. I can't wait to experience this and pull back more layers. Awsome fragrance.

This is sooo beautiful!. It starts with leathery, metallic and saffron notes. The combination of top and middle notes gives this beautiful solar-sunny note which is very pleasant for my nose. I like to wear it during summer days because, this solar note during the sunny time of the day gives the feeling of natural skin-like very pleasant scent. What was the most impressive for me, is that it turns to creamy and sweet scent so silently and impressively that it's almost unnoticeable and then you realise that your nose now is smelling something totally different than it was in the beginning. At first when I wore it for the first time, after a few hours from spraying it, I was wondering what I was wearing and maybe it got mixed with the previous perfume that I was wearing, and then I realised that it performed to something different. Amazing, I really like it and the craftsmanship behind it pretty awesome. I would totally recommend it.

Liquide Gold blooms from the skin with diffusive orange blossom and saffron. It then calms down to a personal fragrance bubble consisting mainly of musks and soft vanilla. I believe this is meant to be an airy, gentle, caressing fragrance to warm the soul, not a 'Beast Bro' in the slightest. It's refined, and it's very very nice. BUT! (as someone who likes to tell it like it is) this does share a passing scent memory to several designer fragrances of the past, like Paco Rabanne 1 Million edt, and the Gaultier Le Male flankers as well as Gaultier 2), ones I used to wear all them years back. OK, Liquide Gold is more refined, subtle, expensive... but there is something in the DNA during the first few hours ( In my opinion! ) No big issue for me, just an observation! NOTE : A year and a half later, this quickly became a firm favourite.

Oh this is good. Can’t wait until the weather turns cooler so I can wear it more. I do see the similarities to Rosendo Mateu No. 5 & Merchant of Venice Vinegia 21, but Liquide Gold is lighter and more daytime appropriate. The Quentin Bisch fingerprint is apparent with this, and it does bear resemblance to Balmain Rouge and Maison Crivelli Tubereuse Astrale, which are other warm spicy floral loves of mine that QB composed. I really enjoy the DNA of Liquides Imaginaires and have yet to try something in this house that didn't appeal to me. Very well-blended thoughtful compositions that aren’t cranked out by the boatload. Appropriate for all genders, day or night, but probably best for fall and winter or cool summer nights.

A sweet resinous vanilla combined with saffron that creates an amber like scent for all ages because it’s not mature nor dated and I feel like even people who don’t care for amber will like this. Amber isn’t listed but a combination of the accords give me a polished sweet amber vibe. Smells opulent yet simple and I never detected any of the floral notes, which makes me happy. It’s slightly spicy and magical to me because I feel like it gives a radiant spectrum, as if spraying it will give you a golden aura... I love it when perfume makes me delusional! 😆 Unisex but I do imagine women loving it more. It’s a mystical but slightly snobby sweet fragrance. A more sweet and non powdery version of Material by Amouage maybe?

It’s a LOVE: gorgeous, unique, sexy, warm, versatile, with an extremely addictive dry down. It is like nothing else out there- a beautiful and intriguing masterpiece, in my opinion, which projects nicely while pulling people in close. It is masterfully blended and very difficult to describe. While it stands monumentally on its own, layering it with Vibrato or Love Don’t be Shy takes it into other realms of fresher or sweeter. My husband goes insane over this fragrance. It always hits just right. I never want to be without it. Massive compliment getter! The best of LI.

I absolutely LOVE this! I purchased a decant and just ordered a FB. It’s definitely not a linear fragrance. The opening is a bit medicinal (is it the saffron?) and reminds me slightly if Venenom Kiss by Ex Nihilo, which was also created by Quentin Bisch. Once the fragrance dries down, it’s the most warm, comforting fragrance. While it’s not a gourmand, it has this sweet, “delicious” quality. It’s really divine. Lasts forever on clothes. I have a jacket that I wore briefly AFTER spraying this. The scent transferred, and I can smell it days later.

It really is magical! To me, this is the smell of a guarding angel, the smell of a ray of divine light in a dark place abandoned by God. At the same time, it's nostalgic and empowering, modern and very traditional, taking you up to the heaven and yet grounding. The bottle and the solemn slightly metallic church smell reminds me of medieval alchemists dreaming of the Elixir, the magical substance that turns anything into gold. It's haunting in the purest way possible. It is the perfume that can give you POWER if it matches you...

Liquid Imaginaries Gold is a deep, complex and artistic fragrance. It opens musky, with fruity and subtle spicy nuances, evolving into a refined, mature vanilla at the heart. The base is distinctly metallic and enigmatic, giving the scent a unique and non-conventional character. This is not an easy or crowd-pleasing perfume; it feels clearly mature and sophisticated, slightly leaning feminine, with moderate and elegant projection. I personally reach for it at night and for special occasions .

Very interesting fragrance, has a metallic note to it. Very hard to describe in fact, definitely strong on musk and saffron so very unisex till mid notes, then vanilla takes it more to the fem side. Just like Ganymede, it’s a unique scent. If you like Ganymede, I’ll bet my top dollar you will like this. Projection isn’t monstrous, silage is moderate, I’d prefer it to be best mode.

Addictive like a ray of sunshine in a bottle. A dance of satyrs and nymphs at golden hour. My favorite perfume when I want to lift my mood. Musky, powdery, citrusy, with a noticeable metallic edge. It perfectly captures the alchemical idea of turning metal into gold; a rare balance between fantastical concept and wearability in a niche fragrance.

To my nose, this smells like RMNo.5, Babycat and Blanche Bete all mixed together and sprayed on me. I love it. I own all of those 3. I love this a LOT but it may be a bit redundant in my collection. Still, I know I would reach for it as I have smashed my sample already in only a few days. I'm 56 F, and it's perfection for me.

Im usually not a huge fan of Quentin’s nieche perfumes. The alien smell of the Marc Barrois fragrances don’t really resonate with me. But this is perfection. Bright, lively notes of carrot tangy notes of mandarin contrasted by earthy saffron and patchouli. It’s the sun and the Earth at the same time. Truly divine perfumery.

I really like this. To me this is quite a syrupy fruity saffron perfume. Very warm and honeyed orange, the name is apt as it does smell like the colour gold. Familiar smelling and not especially unique but very likeable nonetheless. This would be great for evening wear in the summer months or on holiday!

This is an autumn and winter fragrance for me. Gorgeous warm spicy and slightly woody notes surround you in a bubble and that solar note makes it a happy scent. One of top three LI perfumes. It’s worth every penny as it lasts all day and it’s such an addictive scent.

Magnifique! I don’t recognize another perfume in this one. The full body, the spicyness that make the sweetness smell richer and deep. Sensual, leathery but just slightly, milky but just to calm down the fire of the beginning. Love it!

smells like synthetic cheap fragrance if you smell directly on it, but in the air its absolutely phenomenal. good performance. still cant understand why so much rate this as a womens fragrance. smells extremely unisex for me

You cant go wrong with this one. It was love at first sniff. Got the full bottle and first time trying it, got a compliment. There's something about this frag that makes you keep sniffing it. Very addicting!

I LOVE this fragrance. So yummy...my favorite from the house for sure. A perfect blend of all my favorite notes. I really pick up the orange blossom, jasmine, vanilla, musk, and patchouli. Just delicious.

There is something so special about this scent. It is so pleasent and warm, and there is something leathery, maybe safron that makes me so addicted. After couple of wearings I decided to buy it!
