What does Rivalité Impériale smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings out and leisure time are the most common uses. On character, feminine leads, though masculine takes a sizeable share too.
It opens with mirabelle plum, cinnamon and dried fruits, sweet and spiced. In the heart, tobacco, patchouli and tonka bean add weight; it settles into vanilla, sandalwood and amber, a warm, resinous base. The oriental and woody accords keep the fruit from turning too sweet.
