Which Should You Buy?
The rose-oud pairing that made Halfeti so distinctive is recognisable in this dupe, though the saffron-spiced opening is milder and the agarwood-leather base loses much of Penhaligon's smoky depth after the first hour.
Imperial II stands out for its warm spicy and exotic woody scent, offering a balanced and modern fragrance for cooler seasons.
