Lunatique

$240.00

Caramel and heliotrope in the heart of Lunatique is the combination that keeps this from becoming a standard gourmand. Heliotrope's powdery, slightly cherry-almond quality lifts the caramel and vanilla out of straightforward confectionery and into something more complex and wearable. Cardamom and pink pepper give the opening a spiced warmth before the sweet notes take over, and benzoin in the base extends the gourmand quality with a resinous depth that vanilla alone cannot provide. The full-moon silver stopper is the right metaphor for a composition that is lighter on the skin than it appears.

Why We Carry This

Lunatique earns its place among the Liquides Imaginaires selection through the heliotrope-caramel pairing in the heart. Frossard avoids the obvious vanilla-amber gourmand construction by adding materials that modulate the sweetness rather than amplify it. The benzoin base is the detail that gives it longevity beyond what a straightforward dessert fragrance would achieve.
