What does Nil Imperial smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not firm. It works for men and women alike. There is not enough voting to tie it to a particular season or occasion, so none is claimed here.

Italian lemon petitgrain gives a bright opening, then the heart softens into Turkish rose absolute and sugar. In the base, vanilla, sugar and white musk take over, turning the scent sweeter and leaving a warm, creamy trail as it dries. Spicy, woody, oriental and animal tones sit quietly behind the floral and gourmand accords. For a close profile, see Dior Bois Talisman and Emir Vanilla and Roses.
