Les Liquides Imaginaires Desert Suave is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Quentin Bisch and Nisrine Bouazzaoui Grillié. Desert Suave opens with Mandarin and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Date, Orange Blossom, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Sesame and Cedar. Les Liquides Imaginaires's Desert Suave carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a unique masterpiece of spiced dates and orange blossom that'll transport you to exotic locales. For others, it's a cloying, syrupy mess reminiscent of grandma's kitchen or prune juice. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample first.

Its strong projection and gourmand nature make it too distracting for office wear, but its unique character and longevity are perfect for a memorable date or a formal event. It's too heavy for casual daytime use, although some wear it year-round. Several reviewers mention its impressive performance.

About

Desert Suave opens with a heady, sweet combination of syrupy dates and bright mandarin, quickly warmed by a prominent cardamon spice. As it settles, the scent deepens with a creamy orange blossom and a subtle, nutty sesame, all grounded by a hint of cedar. The overall impression is a rich, gourmand oriental that's both comforting and exotic.
