Beaute Du Diable

“Would you be willing to sell your soul to the Devil to possess his perfume? This essence is part of his powers, of his eternal seduction.” So reads Liquides Imaginaires’ tagline for Beaute du Diable, a spicy, sweet, richly aromatic concoction that opens like a perfect gin on the rocks before taking a turn into richly spicy florals and aromatic cypress before settling into a dusty, smoky, smolderingly sexy fragrance that’s as irresistible as it is hard to define. Picture the devil as a gorgeously androgynous figure in an immaculately tailored suit strolling towards you down a gaslamp-lit cobblestone alley, a puff of smoke rising from the street with each footstep. You’re nervous, but intrigued, and as soon as their scent hits your nose, you know that for tonight, at least, you’re going to go wherever they want you to go. That’s the seductive, mysterious power of Beaute du Diable.
