The story behind the bottle.
Vincent Ricord launched Lunatique in 2024 as a new offering from Les Liquides Imaginaires. The composition is a complex blend of fresh spicy and woody notes, anchored by the unexpected interplay between Sichuan pepper and marigold. These elements create an initial burst of freshness that gives way to deeper, warming tones like frankincense and oud. The fragrance oscillates between crisp green pear and rich leather, with cyclamen adding a subtle floral touch that softens the overall profile. Lunatique is neither purely masculine nor feminine, embodying instead a unisex elegance that speaks to those who appreciate multifaceted olfactory experiences.
Lunatique blooms gradually on the skin, so apply it generously at first to capture its full complexity. The initial freshness fades within an hour, giving way to the richer base notes that last well into the evening.
