Like an olfactory ode, aldehydes play their most beautiful role in fragrance by dominating the head of the Liu fragrance and announcing with a cymbal-like chime, rose and jasmine's sensual scented arrival.

Like any piece of music, a fragrance needs to linger with a sense of calm sensuality, which it does with Liu thanks to vanilla's carnal accents which give way to iris and woody notes.

A Lengendary Bottle: Designed by Raymond Guerlain in 1912, its iconic "inverted heart" bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.
