Peau de Bete ("Animal Skin") Eau de Parfum from Les Liquides Imaginaires is a captivating and unconventional unisex fragrance that explores the raw sensuality of the animal kingdom. This opulent oriental woody scent, an Eau de Parfum concentration, boasts a powerful balsamic accord that unfolds in a mesmerizing journey through contrasting textures and unexpected layers. It's a fragrance for the bold and curious, those who appreciate complexity and dare to defy convention. Peau de Bete challenges traditional perfume structures, offering a truly unique olfactory experience.
Peau de Bete opens with a daring and unexpected trio of top notes: cumin's earthy spice, chamomile's subtle herbal sweetness, and saffron's rich, metallic warmth. These initial notes create an intriguing contrast, laying the foundation for the perfume's complex evolution.
The heart of the fragrance reveals a lush and multifaceted middle, where the balsamic accord truly takes center stage. Juniper berries add a touch of bracing freshness, while styrax and the earthy, slightly smoky cypriol oil (or nagarmotha) contribute a deep, resinous heart. The woody notes of guaiac wood and patchouli grass add depth and texture, harmonizing with the gentle sweetness of amyris. This interplay of notes creates a captivatingly rich and sensual experience.
The base of Peau de Bete is as powerful as its opening is intriguing. Civet and castoreum, two animalic notes, lend a raw, primal energy to the composition, anchoring the fragrance with an unforgettable, powerful signature. These notes, expertly blended, create a long-lasting, sensual trail that evokes the mysterious allure of untamed nature. Peau de Bete is not for the faint of heart – it's a fragrance that demands attention and leaves a lasting impression.
