Fragrance World Imperial is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Imperial opens with Davana, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Amber, Oud, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Vetiver. Fragrance World's Imperial carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive scent that some adore for its unique sweet and spicy blend, others find it a bit much. Expect a bold, aromatic presence that's more complex than it first appears, especially once it's had time to settle.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imperial opens with a vibrant, fresh burst of bergamot and the peppery warmth of pink pepper, underscored by the intriguing herbal sweetness of davana. As it develops, a smooth, aromatic core of rosemary and amber emerges, hinting at a modern oud. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver, clean musk, and a subtle, soft leather, creating a long-lasting, inviting trail.
