What does Impérial Ocean smell like?

It opens with ginger, bergamot and sea salt, a spicy freshness lifted by bright citrus. In the heart, kelp, lily of the valley and vetiver add a green, salty coolness. Cedarwood and ambergris settle it onto a woody base, while a fruity touch stays in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so treat both with some caution. Voters pick it mostly for sport, leisure, daily and business wear, and far less for evenings or nights out. Banderas Mediterráneo and Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey have a close profile.
