Imperial Vanilla
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A creamy, warm, and sophisticated floral for those who fancy a touch of luxury. While some find its longevity typical of Jo Malone (read: fleeting), others rave about its surprising staying power. It's either a love-at-first-sniff dream or a wet-wipe-and-playdough nightmare for some, proving it's anything but boring.
If you're after a sophisticated, grown-up vanilla that steps above the usual gourmand fare, Imperial Vanilla might just be your new obsession. It’s got that cosy, warm hug vibe with a classy edge, polarising some for its kinship to other popular vanillas but winning over many for its refined take.
