Additional information

Founded in 2012 by Philippe Di Méo and David Frossard, Liquides Imaginaires offers perfumes inspired by spirituality, symbolism, and emotion. Each olfactory creation explores the sacred power of scent and humanity's quest for self-improvement. Poetic and captivating, these perfumes invite you on a sensory and introspective journey. More than just a fragrance, they reveal our deepest identity.

An almost silent freshness.
Clean, vegetal, soothing — the fragrance for those who need nothing more.

Melancolia is an act of radical sobriety. Where most fragrances strive to impress, this one chooses to remain silent — and it is precisely this choice that makes it remarkable.

The opening is clean and slightly cool — lemongrass and mint, two vegetal notes that awaken the senses without ever imposing themselves. Cardamom, ginger, and bay leaf arrive at the heart with a dry, slightly spicy warmth that gives the composition its staying power. The base — bay leaf and musk — gradually fades into an almost invisible, clean, and enveloping presence. Melancolia is the fragrance you forget you're wearing — until you notice it on your skin, hours later.

Melancolia is the fragrance of chosen silence.

Maison Diaphane's take

The most refined Liquides Imaginaires fragrance — only seven notes, none too many. It's a composition for those seeking absolute lightness, not complexity. A pure skin scent.

Learn more about Melancolia +

Melancolia Eau de Parfum by Liquides Imaginaires is a unisex vegetal citrus fragrance from the French house founded by Philippe Di Méo. Its radically sober composition — lemongrass and mint in the opening, cardamom and bay leaf in the heart, musk in the base — explores lightness as an aesthetic choice. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer in Angers, for €210. Free delivery from €100 (in France).

Its pyramid combines a clean and slightly cool lemongrass-mint opening, a dry and slightly spicy cardamom-ginger-bay leaf heart, and a clean and enveloping bay leaf-musk base. A unisex vegetal citrus with moderate sillage, suitable all year round.

Why so few notes?

It's a deliberate choice — Melancolia explores sobriety as an olfactory language. Seven precisely chosen notes are better than thirty notes that are searching for purpose. The house embraces an aesthetic of radical minimalism here.

Is it really sad despite the name?

No — melancholy in the sense of Liquides Imaginaires is a calm inner state, not sadness. It is the emotion of returning to oneself, of silent contemplation. The fragrance is soothing, not melancholic in the common sense.

For what occasion?

Mornings, calm workdays, moments when you seek to be present without attracting attention. It is a fragrance of inner clarity.

For what season?

All year round. Its vegetal lightness and moderate sillage make it suitable for all temperatures. It is the fragrance of the four seasons for those who want something discreet and constant.
