What does Imari (1985) / Impromptu (Eau de Cologne) smell like?

The top pairs the brightness of bergamot and aldehydes with the green bite of galbanum. The heart builds a floral, powdery body from lily of the valley, ylang-ylang, tuberose and orris root. In the base, vanilla, musk, cedar, sandalwood and amber add a woody, resinous, oriental warmth, while spicy, earthy and animal touches round out the chypre character.

Longevity is moderate and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so this is only a rough guide. Its structure suits those who enjoy classic, powdery florals. Avon Imari Golden Treasures and Arrogance pour Femme have a close profile.
