What does Lavanda Imperiale smell like?

Bergamot and ylang-ylang open with a citrusy, lightly floral brightness. Lavender takes over in the heart, and sage in the base pulls the scent towards a woody, spicy line. The overall impression is fresh, green and slightly powdery.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads balanced between the two. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Jardin du Nil and Majouri Noor Neroli have a close profile.
