Bête Humaine by Les Liquides Imaginaires is a bold Woody Aromatic fragrance crafted for both men and women, unveiled in 2021. Conceived by the visionary perfumer Amélie Bourgeois, this scent delves into the primal duality of human nature—where civility collides with instinct.
Bête Humaine, or "The Human Beast," captures the raw tension between the untamed and the refined. It opens with an arresting intensity, drawing the senses into a forest of smoky woods, herbaceous greens, and shadowy resins. There's a wild heart beneath its polished exterior—a beast in a tailored suit.
Mysterious and powerful, this fragrance is an olfactory portrait of our inner contradictions: both animalistic and elegant, impulsive yet controlled. It is a scent for those unafraid to embrace their complexity and wear their truth with strength.
