Which Should You Buy?
Imperial is a powerful, elegant scent for those who command attention. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if you want to make a statement, this is your weapon.
This modern fougère is a divisive one. Some find it a 'modern gem' with a captivating blend of classic and contemporary, while others are put off by medicinal or pickle-like notes. Definitely sample before you commit.
