Founded in 2011 by Philippe Di Méo, Liquides Imaginaires was created to return perfume to its role as a meaningful and transformative object. Drawing from ancient practices where fragrance served as offering, protection, or ritual, the brand treats each creation as a liquid talisman that carries myths, emotions, and symbols. From the beginning, Di Méo rejected the idea of perfume as a mere accessory. Instead, he positioned it as a medium for storytelling, where concept and craft hold equal weight.
A distinctive feature of Liquides Imaginaires is its trilogy structure. Every release comes in threes, conceived as chapters of a single narrative. This approach allows the house to explore themes in depth: water as a mirror of life and memory, skin as the boundary between self and other, or the elemental forces that shape human experience. Each trilogy is designed to offer different perspectives on a shared idea, encouraging the wearer to move between them as if reading parts of a myth.
The visual identity of the brand reinforces this philosophy. The bottles are sculptural, recalling amphorae and ritual vessels that once held sacred oils. Their weight and form signal permanence, while the engraved seal evokes talismans and keys. These design choices root the perfumes in history while giving them a contemporary presence, creating objects that feel timeless but modern.
Over the past decade, Liquides Imaginaires has established itself as one of the most conceptually driven houses in contemporary perfumery. Its path has been defined by a consistent commitment to depth, symbolism, and craft. Each trilogy expands the brand’s universe, reinforcing its mission to create perfumes that carry cultural meaning, spiritual resonance, and artistic vision.
