About

Imperial opens with a sophisticated burst of aromatic lavender, softened by a touch of rosewood and the intriguing hint of birch. The heart blooms into a rich floral bouquet of jammy rose, jasmine, and geranium, adding a classic elegance. As it settles, a dominant, smooth leather emerges, beautifully grounded by earthy patchouli and creamy sandalwood. It's a complex and luxurious chypre, with a distinctly classic British feel.
