Phantasma Eau de Parfum

Phantasma Eau de Parfum by Les Liquides Imaginaires presents a refined, green-tinged tea scent with a distinct earthy and woody backbone. It opens with a sharp, citrusy yuzu and green tea line, enhanced by ginger and a subtle rice nuance that gives the fragrance an almost creamy texture. The scent evolves into a cool, airy, and slightly musky dry-down, with woodsy and soft floral touches reminiscent of narcissus and clary sage. While some find it reminiscent of a Nivea body lotion or a slightly sour, green citrus, the majority note it as dry, structured, and refreshing—similar in style to mine-specific teas like Blue Tea by The Merchant of Venice but more austere. Its quiet sillage and moderate longevity make it ideal for daily wear, especially during spring and summer. The fragrance develops in layers, starting green and slightly sharp before settling into a complex, minimalist tea note with a faint sweet musk that never overwhelms. It appeals to those who appreciate naturalistic, unromanticized tea perfumes and tend to favor clean, layered, non-gimmicky scents. Several users report a shift in perception over time—initially questionable, but eventually found elegant and wearable. It suits individuals who appreciate niche, articulate fragrances that avoid fantasy and excess. Despite its high-quality construction, Phantasma’s character is quite subtle and distinctive. Some find it flat or unmemorable; others consider it a standout in the brand’s collection. It's best experienced on skin, where it unfolds more intelligently than on paper. Its niche status, long-lasting quietness, and naturally fresh profile make it a thoughtful choice for those seeking something quietly elegant, not loud or overt.
