Frais et Frais Imperiale is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Imperiale opens with Cedar, settles into a heart of Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambroxan. Frais et Frais's Imperiale carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Seriously slept on, apparently. While it might need a bit of "maturation" time, this musky, woody vanilla has a hidden coconut wink that's winning over the few who've discovered it. A crowd-pleaser that's still flying under the radar.

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.

Its musky, woody profile makes it versatile for casual wear and dates, where its subtle sweetness can truly shine. While perfectly pleasant, its underlying intimacy might be a bit too understated for formal events and entirely out of place for sport.

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

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

Opens with a dry cedar that quickly softens into a plush, powdery ambrette. The heart blossoms into a creamy, almost vanillic musk, hinting at something akin to coconut without it being in the notes. This evolves into a deep, enveloping base of warm musk and ambroxan, creating a subtly sweet, woody skin scent that's both comforting and alluring. It's a modern take on warmth and intimacy.
