Lacrima Les Liquides Imaginaires is Ideal For

The Lover of Tears: A Portrait of the Lacrima Devotee

To wear Lacrima by Les Liquides Imaginaires is to embrace the melancholy beauty of transience—a fragrance that weeps with the weight of incense, myrrh, and the salt of sorrow. This is not a scent for those who fear depth; it is for the one who finds poetry in grief, who sees the sacred in what is fleeting. Their soul is a cathedral of contradictions—both tender and fierce, luminous and shadowed.

Archetype: The Mourner (A Variation of The Lover)

The Mourner is not defined by despair but by an acute sensitivity to the ephemeral. They love with intensity, mourn with reverence, and see the world through the lens of impermanence. Their archetype is rooted in the Lover, but where the Lover seeks ecstasy, the Mourner finds meaning in the bittersweet. They are drawn to beauty that aches, to love that cannot last, to art that speaks of loss.

A Life Lived in Minor Key

Their tastes are refined but never ostentatious. They prefer the dim glow of candlelight to harsh fluorescents, the texture of aged paper to glossy screens, the sound of a cello to the clamor of pop. Their wardrobe leans toward draped silks, deep velvets, and fabrics that whisper when they move. They do not follow trends but are drawn to pieces that feel like relics—garments with history, weight, and a story.

Philosophy is not an abstract exercise for them but a lived experience. They may be drawn to Stoicism’s discipline, not as a denial of emotion, but as a way to honor it without being consumed. Or perhaps they find solace in Zen’s embrace of impermanence, seeing their own melancholy mirrored in the falling cherry blossoms. They believe in the necessity of sorrow, that to suppress grief is to cheapen joy.

Relationships: Intimacy Through Vulnerability

They do not love lightly. Their relationships are deep, often intense, built on shared silences as much as words. They attract those who are drawn to emotional honesty, who do not fear the dark waters of the soul. But they also risk becoming the "wounded healer," a role that can be as imprisoning as it is noble.

Romantically, they are drawn to partners who understand that love is not only about happiness but about witnessing one another’s sorrows. Yet their shadow emerges when they mistake suffering for depth—when they linger too long in the past, when they romanticize pain to the point of self-sabotage.

The Shadow: The Martyr’s Trap

Their greatest strength—their capacity to feel deeply—can become their undoing. They may slip into self-mythologizing, seeing themselves as tragic figures rather than active participants in their own lives. They might withdraw into melancholy, mistaking isolation for wisdom. At their worst, they become the prisoner of their own sensitivity, unable to move forward because they are too in love with the beauty of their own sadness.

A Life Well-Lived: Between Sorrow and Light

Yet when balanced, they are the ones who remind us that joy is not the absence of sorrow but its companion. They teach us that to love fully is to accept loss, that the most profound beauty often lies in what cannot be held. Their life is not one of despair but of sacred tension—a dance between the ephemeral and the eternal.

They do not wear Lacrima because they are broken. They wear it because they know that tears, too, can be holy.
