Bête Humaine

Green, woody and animalic, with chestnut bitterness, smoky pine, and a skin-close drydown.

Scent Development and Character

A dry, wooded, green-spiced skin scent that moves from chestnut and violet-leaf bitterness into labdanum warmth and cedar-sandalwood depth, then settles into smoky pine, vetiver, and guaiac wood. It feels feral but composed, more forest floor and warm fur than clean freshness.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best worn when you want a restrained but characterful woody scent: cool weather, evening wear, or close-range daytime use. It reads more textured and atmospheric than loud. Best suited to autumn, with winter also workable; spring and summer are less natural fits. Sillage: Moderate sillage with a noticeable but not room-filling trail. Longevity: Moderate longevity for an EDP; likely around the middle of the range rather than a powerhouse.

Perfumer and Bottle

Released in 2021, it is presented as Eau de Parfum. The perfumer is Amélie Bourgeois. It comes in a 100 mL bottle shaped by Liquides Imaginaires's design language.
