What does L'Edition Imperiale smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring in third place. It suits evenings and nights out, and also business and leisure. Voters read it as masculine and classic.
The top notes of cardamom, mandarin orange, pot marigold and coriander give a fresh, spicy start. Towards the heart, violet, smoked tea, cedarwood and calla add a floral, powdery and smoky touch. In the base, vetiver, leather, spruce balsam and amber close it with a resinous, leathery sweetness. Its floral and sweet accords also come through. Dior Fahrenheit Parfum and Caron Tabac Blond have a close profile.
