What does Millésime Impérial smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Voters tend to find it more masculine, though it reads as unisex.

The opening is fruity and bright, with blackcurrant and bergamot in front and violet leaf adding a green coolness. In the heart, marine notes and iris give it an aquatic feel. The base of cedarwood, musk and sandalwood settles it into a soft, woody finish, with a faint spicy touch in the background.
