Les Liquides Imaginaires Bloody Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Bloody Wood opens with Red Wine, Rose, and Violet, settles into a heart of Fruity Notes, Cherry, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Oak, Woody Notes, and Sandalwood. Les Liquides Imaginaires's Bloody Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Bloody Wood is a unique, divisive take on gothic romance, weaving tart wine and deep woods with varying results. Some find it vampiric and alluring; others are left with cough syrup or cheap sangria. Performance is a constant issue among fans and detractors alike.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its intimate sillage and average longevity make it suitable for dates and more contained social events, allowing its unique character to be appreciated without overwhelming. The sophisticated wine and woody accords elevate it for formal settings, while its subtle sweetness and tartness can work for casual, cooler weather outings, though it's too unconventional for most offices or sports.

About

This scent opens with a surprisingly tart, fruity burst of red wine and juicy cherry, with a subtle powdery hint of violet. As it settles, a prominent woody accord emerges, a blend of dry oak and smooth sandalwood, creating an atmosphere of an ancient cellar or a dusty, old manor. There's a persistent vein of dark rose throughout, adding a floral depth that complements the boozy, woody core, evoking a gothic, mysterious elegance.
