Les Liquides Imaginaires Saffron Mandarin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Wesley Perumal. Saffron Mandarin opens with Lemon, Blood Orange, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Oak, Tonka Bean, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Les Liquides Imaginaires's Saffron Mandarin carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love its realistic, zesty mandarin and unique woody dry down, or find it overwhelmingly sour and screechy. Definitely one to try before you buy a full bottle.

About

Saffron Mandarin kicks off with a vivacious burst of photorealistic citrus, blending juicy mandarin and blood orange with a sharp, peppery edge from pink and black pepper. As it settles, a clean saffron note emerges, weaving through the vibrant top, before mellowing into a sophisticated base of earthy oak and warm, resinous benzoin. The hint of tonka bean adds a smooth, slightly sweet undertone.
