What does Imperial Emerald (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, pink pepper and mandarin orange, while iris adds a soft, powdery touch. In the heart, tuberose, ylang-ylang, night-blooming jasmine absolute and rose absolute lead. The base of vanilla, white amber and benzoin sweetens it and dries down into a creamy finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and evening and night out are the most chosen occasions. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine. Ojar Kashmir Print and Roja Parfums Enigma Essence de Parfum have a close profile.
