Les Liquides Imaginaires Lacrima is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Lacrima opens with Pink Pepper and Elemi, settles into a heart of Rosewood and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss and Castoreum. Les Liquides Imaginaires's Lacrima carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper Gothic drama in a bottle, polarising opinion with its intense, churchy incense. It's either an evocative, dark masterpiece or... well, just a bit much. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or those who prefer something mainstream.

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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

Given its strong, often challenging opening and thematic depth, Lacrima isn't suited for daily office wear or casual settings, where it might overwhelm. It fares better in formal or date scenarios where its unique character can be appreciated, particularly for evening events in cooler weather, as its moderate projection requires a considered application.

Ingredients and allergens

ALCOHOL DENAT., PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), AQUA (WATER), LIMONENE, BENZYL BENZOATE.

Allergens named in this list

Lists change between batches and markets, so check the box of the bottle you have. "Parfum" covers substances the label does not name, and we highlight only the allergens we could match. If you have a diagnosed allergy, look for the name your clinic gave you on your own packaging.

About

Lacrima opens with a sharp, almost animalic bite from castoreum and pink pepper, quickly ushering in a profound, smoky incense. Elemi and benzoin lend a resinous depth, evoking ancient cathedrals and forgotten rituals. As it settles, a woody, mossy warmth emerges from oakmoss and rosewood, creating a complex, melancholic, and deeply aromatic experience.
