What does Imperial Valley (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top notes are Italian bergamot, davana and pink pepper, giving a bright, citrusy and slightly spicy start. In the heart, oud, white amber and Cape snow bush bring out the sweet, oriental side. The base of Haitian vetiver, leather and musk anchors it in a woody, leathery foundation.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Votes lean slightly towards fall and spring, though summer and winter are not ruled out, and evenings, nights out and daily wear all fit. Most voters read it as masculine and modern. Anfar Vague and The Dua Brand Valley of Imperial have a close profile.
