What does Perle Impériale (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter not far behind, and night out and evening are the occasions it leans towards. Voters read it mostly as feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine.

Bergamot gives a fresh first impression, and fig in the heart brings a soft, sweet fruitiness. Sandalwood, leathery notes and myrrh dominate the base, and the scent dries down woody, spicy and warm. Guerlain Cheval Blanc and Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto Le Parfum have a close profile.
