Granado Imperial is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Guillaume Flavigny. Imperial opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Tea, settles into a heart of Rose, Magnolia, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Mate, Musk, and Sandalwood. Granado's Imperial carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A fresh, clean, and elegant tea-based floral that's universally loved, even if some find it leans a touch feminine. It's a low-sillage gem that performs surprisingly well for a freshie, making it a guaranteed compliment-getter.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, fresh, and intimate sillage makes it perfect for office and casual wear, as it won't overwhelm. While elegant enough for formal settings, its lighter projection might not suit every occasion, and it's a fantastic option for warm weather and sport due to its refreshing nature.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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 bright burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly joined by the delicate aroma of tea, creating an immediate sense of freshness. As it develops, a graceful heart of rose, magnolia, and lily of the valley emerges, adding a clean floral sophistication. The dry down settles into a subtle blend of earthy mate, soft musk, and warm sandalwood, leaving a refined, 'fresh out of the shower' trail that lingers intimately.
