Liquides Imaginaires Lunatique

Liquides Imaginaires Lunatique is the real designer fragrance, sold at most major retailers. When one of our partners carries it, a direct buy link shows up here. The "smells-like" alternatives below are for anyone who wants the profile for less.

Liquides Imaginaires Lunatique opens with Juniper, Sichuan Pepper, Tagetes, Pink Pepper and Neroli; a heart of Incense, Blackcurrant, Ginger, Pear, Carrot, Iris and Cyclamen; drying down to Leather, Sandalwood, Musk, Oud, Vetiver, Ambergris and Tonka Bean, from notes Liquides Imaginaires (official) publishes. Those notes read as citrus, fruity, powdery, spicy, sweet, amber, the coarse families Liquides Imaginaires (official) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Lunatique by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Lunatique, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

Liquides Imaginaires Lunatique is listed as unisex, marketed for anyone, which is how we'd wear it too. Fragrance has no inherent gender; the label just reflects how the retailer sells it.

Amouage Reflection 45 (shares Juniper, Neroli, Incense); Xerjoff Golden Green (shares Juniper, Ambergris, Leather); Roja Parfums Elysium Eau Intense (shares Juniper, Ambergris, Blackcurrant). These share specific notes with Lunatique, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of Lunatique's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Lunatique, and has its own page.
