Green, Invigorating Herbal Drink

One of my little quirks is giving nicknames to people or animals I don’t know by name. For instance, I call a caregiver at my father's home "Big Joy." He is from a temp agency and only works sporadically, but he knows his elderly clients and their visitors very well. When he sees me in the hallway, he calls out, "Mr. D. big joy, big joy, the daughter is coming." He chats everyone’s ear off and is constantly in a good mood. My father calls him the Schnäbbel, but he is happy when he is on duty. Big Joy is very neat, smells wonderful, and always differently. He leaves a long scent trail behind him, which I greatly appreciate in the home. Recently, in the heat, he smelled particularly good-zesty, grassy, and fresh. "What are you wearing?" "Oh, you don’t know it, Succus, I just got it, I have a perfume obsession." Well, there are two of us, I thought to myself.

At home, I googled Succus, and lo and behold, I have a sample. The beginning is fresh and fruity; the mandarin is not too sour, but juicy and slightly sweet. This fruity freshness is underlaid with an herbal note; I think I can sense rosemary and bay leaf here. A little while later, it becomes richly green with woody speckles and a delicate spiciness. Succus feels invigorating to me, somehow strengthening as well. A bit like a tasty, mildly sweetened, and energizing herbal drink from Miraculix.

Succus is a stimulating scent for the warm season; I would place its sillage and longevity in the medium range. It’s a distinctive fragrance, but I preferred it on Big Joy rather than on myself, for whatever reason. Many thanks to Marron for the sample.

And of course, I already know Big Joy's real name. But for my father and me, he will forever remain Big Joy.

Where juices flow, watering spring

Les Liquides Imaginaires fragrances stimulate the imagination like few others. "Succus" is no exception and was a truly successful spontaneous purchase at the perfume meeting in Düsseldorf. Spring in a bottle - however, a spring like I have never smelled olfactorily before. It is part of the so-called Forest & Meadows trilogy along with Saltus & Tellus, meant to represent the juices of the leaves of a forest... yep, that fits. This fragrance truly deserves a poem, as it shimmers elfin-like on the skin & refreshes the scent head - but that doesn’t always have to be the case.

It smells green, but luckily not like fig. It smells juicy but never algae-like, which would have been inappropriate. It smells sweet, but never synthetic or like a thousand times smelled vanilla or tonka bean. Still, it has something of a (fruit) candy, but wrapped in the magic of a spring forest that glows in all possible shades of green. An artistic fragrance that is still wearable, not a pure experiment. That’s how I like it. Especially in terms of individuality, it is far ahead; I don’t know any scent that even remotely compares. And this feeling is becoming rarer with the years of Parfumo & is so brilliant.

Succus can be a revelation for fans of green spring fragrances with a slightly tropical touch. I like it immensely. A syrupy mandarin meets icy rhubarb & culminates in radiant woods. Soothing, natural, strikingly pretty. I can only repeat myself: a work of art that deserves appreciation, one that you gladly reach for & that doesn’t come off as overly intellectual or noble. Whether in the end you smell pears, rhubarb, or green, dew-covered treetops - it doesn’t matter, because it takes your breath away either way. Not because it is intense in sillage or longevity, but because that’s exactly why we love perfumes.

Bottle: thick & chic
Sillage: noticed, but rarely complimented
Longevity: 7 hours and you become the hungry caterpillar

Conclusion: artistically valuable! One of the most extraordinary & juiciest greens on the market. Incomparable & practically demanding spring!

The Aphid in Me

loves this scent. Unfortunately, the inner aphid is a grossly neglected part of my being (and not alone in that…) so that in this case we are not entirely in agreement. As the name suggests, it’s about the juice and the sucking, the green-juicy, green-fleshy, about chlorophyll and healing liquids, all together. This is certainly of interest to the inner aphid, no doubt.
For me personally, there are a few dissonances or notes in this scent that I find somewhat exhausting. Because the green, which is presented here convincingly wet and moist, has a few peculiar aspects attached to it. I imagine that right from the start I perceive a hint of fermentation. It goes in the direction of freshly mown grass that is piled up and steaming in the sun. When you turn such a grass pile, this peculiar smell of slight fermentation that has just begun wafts toward you. What could be responsible for this in the perfume, I cannot say for sure, but I mainly suspect the combination of sour-fruity scent substances with a hint of resin for this effect.
This scent does not convey any sense of landscape vastness or garden associations for me, but the nose remains very close to the green happenings, from an insect's perspective, and for the first time, I experience a green scent that has something almost pornographically green-sensual about it, a strangely contradictory experience because you wouldn’t expect it from such a plant-based, chaste fragrance.
There is also a floral aspect in this composition, but part of the flowers have already fallen and are just beginning to decompose, surrendering to the eternal cycle of nature.
The aphid, however, sucks the fresh juices, it acts where I merely smell and engages intensely at the thin-walled parts of the plant, where it reaches the green life-blood cool and unadulterated. Suck it, baby. Is this what also reminds me of those terribly healthy and sometimes somewhat peculiar freshly pressed or mown grass juices that balance a chlorophyll balance that needs no balancing, since I personally (still) do not perform photosynthesis? However, it could be that one gets used to this through more frequent wearing of succus…
After a considerable while, about an hour, this fermentation note fades in favor of a slightly sour, woody underpinned green scent, which from this point on is noticeably more pleasant for my nose. The aphid has probably finally become full. From this point on, however, the scent also loses its very specific character a bit and moves onto somewhat more trodden perfumery paths. It never completely loses the top note, just as, on the other hand, the so-called base has been clearly present from the beginning; in short, the scent only transforms gradually. This combination of “rhubarb” and essential oils remains somewhat of an acquired taste for me; on the other hand, succus, and this is my conclusion, is indeed the most plant-like scent that has come before and under my nose so far, apart from in nature. The aphid in me loves it.

Invigorating Elixir of Life Straight from the Nature Spirit

Succus is a fragrance candidate that wasn't even on my testing list.
I was already familiar with almost all the other liquids.
However, the fragrance pyramid and the scent description didn't particularly interest me; especially since fresh scents are really only my thing in the rarest of exceptions.

Succus is undoubtedly a fresh scent. And a spicy scent. And last but not least, a nature-affirming scent.
Succus smells of nature. Nature in the sense of fresh, wet wood, stream water, and plenty of grassy elements. Deep green and dripping wet. Plant and flower juices form, run, drip, and mix in all shades of green - and in all possible scent spectra that grass and plant juices can provide.
It must be mentioned and is a big plus that Succus never smells synthetic. Quite the opposite.
Even the sweetness that occasionally - especially from the later stages of the fragrance - flashes through does not come off as slapped on, overfed, inappropriate, or even synthetic. It is well-measured, so that at no point can one speak of a sweet scent. Green-spicy-bitter is more accurate. And truly incredibly refreshing - where here the word 'invigorating' is the far more fitting choice.
Succus is a fresh scent that goes off the beaten path that fragrances with a similar character usually (seemingly always) take.
You get a bit of the (incredibly pleasant) feeling that you just sprayed an instant pick-me-up in the form of pure nature. Just fortunately not in the form of lemon, orange, and neroli...
The citrus-fruity components, especially mandarin and rhubarb, come across as thoroughly cool, bitter, and moisture-laden. More sour than sweet.
The flowers and grasses follow suit. Even the cedar and the (at least in terms of scent perception) other woods are moist to wet, bursting with strength, wild, and full of life.
That might even be the keyword. Succus feels incredibly alive and powerful. And indeed invigorating, which is a pretty cool (side) effect.

Succus is fantastically crafted, wearable - albeit somewhat quirky - perfume art.
Cool-spicy-bitter-sour,
green in all facets and nuances,
stimulating, refreshing,
water, plant juices, trees,
nature.

When the juices start to sprout again...

The concept of Les Liquides Imaginaires is to evoke a three-part series on a specific theme. After Delà and the Blood Variations, the focus is now on the theme of trees:

Tellus - the earth
Saltus - the forest valley
Succus - the moisture, the plant sap

What could be more fitting for spring, when nature awakens from its winter slumber, the first green delights the eye, and the dark cold season has once again been overcome?

Succus, despite its many listed ingredients, does not undergo a spectacular development. Rather, it is a well-woven scent that lives up to its name.

At first invigorating and juicy, rhubarb and juniper flash, while pepper tickles the nose briefly. Yet, a woody sweetness is immediately present, which determines the entire progression.
Like a fresh tree stump, still surrounded by bark, invites you to observe its growth rings and touch it with your fingers, various elements come to the forefront, without straying from the main theme.
A breeze of incense wafts in and out, musk sage sets spicy accents, a floral scent flatters the nose before the fragrance gradually becomes woodier and bids farewell.

Succus is a soothing walk through the mixed forest, freshly cut wood, the striving of nature, and the awakening of life force, year after year.

Autonomous people throw overripe pears at a flower shop. Police threaten with rhubarb stalks, but don’t intervene. After 1 hour, everyone loves each other.
