SANCTI

Sancti is a unisex Eau de Parfum by Liquides Imaginaires, part of the Eau Delà collection, dedicated to ritual offerings to the ancient gods. A bright, aromatic oriental fougère for those who want a fragrance that combines freshness and spirituality in a single accord.

The Fragrance

Sancti is conceived as an evocation of holy water, a symbol of purification for body and spirit since ancient times: a precious essence once offered to kings and deities, releasing its aromatic vapours in solemn rituals. The concept plays on a successful contrast between energy and contemplation, between light and mystery, resulting in a bright, mineral fragrance, almost a sacred spark.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening of Sancti is sparkling and bright: grapefruit, bergamot, cypress and mandarin intertwine in an almost electric citrus accord. The heart warms up on an aromatic-spicy register, with balsam fir, rosemary, cardamom, lavender and coriander adding depth and character without ever weighing the composition down. In the base the fragrance settles into frankincense and myrrh, joined by cedar, benzoin, labdanum, musk, amber, vetiver and patchouli: a resinous, warm accord that is never dark or smoky, closing the journey with a feeling of bright contemplation.

Who We Recommend Sancti To

A fragrance for those who love bright, wearable incense scents, far from the darker, smokier registers of the genre. Perfect for mid-season and the warmer months, when its sparkling opening finds its ideal moment, it suits anyone looking for a fragrance with an almost ritual soul but a character that's extremely easy to wear every day.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

We love Sancti because it manages to do something far from obvious: make incense feel light, almost sunny, without losing its deeper soul. It's the kind of fragrance that often surprises those expecting a heavy oriental and instead find something airy and easy to live with every day.
