The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Les Liquides Imaginaires, Buddha Blend is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance created by perfumer Carol Belli. The composition opens with the vibrant brightness of yuzu and finger lime, complemented by lemon's crispness. These fresh citrus notes are soon joined by ginger’s spicy warmth and milk’s creamy sensuality, creating an unexpected harmony that feels both invigorating and comforting. As it evolves, orchid adds a subtle floral touch, while ebony wood and georgywood lend depth and sophistication to the base. The overall effect is a fragrance that balances freshness with richness, making it as suitable for a casual day out as it is for an evening gathering.
Apply Buddha Blend in light layers for best results. The vibrant citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, making it important not to overapply. Allow the fragrance to develop on your skin; the warm spiciness and creamy sweetness will gradually unfold throughout the day.
