OrientalWhat does Imperial Blue smell like?
It opens with lemon, mint and apple, which gives it a bright, lightly fruity start. In the heart, vetiver, geranium and moss set that freshness on a green base. The base of tonka bean, cedarwood and vanilla sweetens it and adds a creamy, oriental warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of ratings is small, so this is only a rough guide. Its value for money also scores high. It is positioned as a men's scent. La Rive Colossus and Mexx Simply for Him have a close profile.
