What does Oud Imperial smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters point to autumn and winter, with spring next and summer well behind. Night out and evening are the most cited occasions. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, and it also reads as classic.

It opens on Indian oud, with leather and geranium in the heart. The base holds patchouli, amber, vanilla, sandalwood and benzoin. Floral and oriental accords carry a sweet, resinous, earthy texture, while animal and leathery tones add a smoky warmth. Henry Jacques Oudh Imperial and Mancera Black to Black have a close profile.
