The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Les Liquides Imaginaires and crafted by perfumer Sonia Constant, Fleuve Tendre is a complex blend that oscillates between fresh spiciness and warm musk. Opening with mandarin orange and cumin, it quickly transitions into the heart notes of cardamom and coriander, providing a vibrant contrast to the soft rose water and geranium. The base notes of animalic musk, suede, and incense ground this composition in an earthy and sensual warmth.
Apply Fleuve Tendre in light layers; its opening notes are bright but fade quickly. The animalic base notes develop over time, so one or two sprays to the pulse points will be sufficient for a lasting effect.
