About
L’Ile Pourpre by Les Liquides Imaginaires is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women and men. L’Ile Pourpre was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Nadege Le Garlantezec. Top notes are Ginger, Angelica, Shiso and Bergamot; middle notes are Fig, Artemisia and Fenugreek; base notes are Ambroxan, Cedar, Cashmeran, Whipped Cream and Patchouli. The challenge for Philippe Di Méo , the founder of the brand, was about to create a fruit that would reflect the spirit of Liquides Imaginaires. Far from the sweet and girly fruits that we usually find in perfumery, L ’Ile Pourpre exudes a mysterious trail, that expresses the audacious and mystical brand’s identity. Inspired by the idea of an unknown fruit, the perfumer Nadège Le Garlantezec, has imagined a black and sensual fig. Refreshed by the aromatic top notes of shiso, twisted by the spicy tones of ginger, this fig get dressed of a liquorous charm thanks to davana, to lay down a woody bed (cedarwood, incense, ambroxan). L’Ile Pourpre by Les Liquides Imaginaires is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. L’Ile Pourpre was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Nadege Le Garlantezec.

"I was lucky enough to travel from the north to the south of India during a charity race this year and on passing through Mysore, the verses of "If" came to me. It was my grandfather, a great traveller if ever there was one, who introduced me to this poem when I was a child. This lesson that needs to be repeated every day in order to become what we are": David Frossard, artistic director of Parfums Frapin.
