{"product_id":"les-liquides-imaginaires-buddha-blend","title":"Buddha Blend","description":"\u003cp\u003eMenardo's incense work is among the most respected in niche perfumery, and Buddha Blend is the release that best demonstrates why. The incense in the heart is not background smoke but the compositional center, oud and labdanum building resinous depth around it while rose provides a warmth that prevents the composition from turning cold and ecclesiastical. Cardamom and pink pepper in the opening prepare the transition, bergamot providing the only genuinely light moment. Benzoin and amber in the base are warm and balsamic, extending the incense quality deep into the drydown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Carry This\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMenardo's incense compositions require patience to fully appreciate, and Buddha Blend rewards that patience. The oud-labdanum frame around the incense heart is the technical decision that prevents this from reading as a single-note study. The dark amber bottle is among the most honest packaging in the niche market: it looks like what it contains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bergamot, Cardamom, Pink Pepper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Incense, Oud, Labdanum, Rose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber, Sandalwood, Musk, Benzoin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccords:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoky, Amber, Oud, Warm Spicy, Balsamic, Woody\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annick Menardo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaunched:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Liquides Imaginaires","offers":[{"title":"3.4 oz","offer_id":48121581732084,"sku":"3760303363208- M4","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/2472\/7796\/files\/studio_fa5e1f8d-390b-47ee-acff-986ea022924c.jpg?v=1780340143","url":"https:\/\/www.casaalcheme.com\/products\/les-liquides-imaginaires-buddha-blend","provider":"Casa Alchemē","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
