What does Imperial smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and summer is the least chosen season. Evenings and nights out lead, though business and daily wear also get votes. Nearly half of those who voted read it as masculine. Its profile is close to Kintsugi Perfumes Santal and Xerjoff Alexandria Imperiale.

Cardamom and lavender open fresh and spicy. In the heart, leather, cedar, iris, sage and marjoram bring a woody, leathery core. Sandalwood, oud, amber and vanilla sweeten the base and settle into an oriental warmth.
