Navitus Parfums Ambrosia Imperiale is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Ambrosia Imperiale opens with Davana, Orange, Cinnamon, and Banana, settles into a heart of Date, Jasmine, Orchid, and Amberwood, and dries down to a base of Cream, Musk, Saffron, and Vanilla. Navitus Parfums's Ambrosia Imperiale carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a unique, boozy banana gourmand masterpiece; for others, a screechy, synthetic mess that missed the mark. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works, prepare for compliments.

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.

Best For:
Date

Its potent nature and gourmand sweetness, while delightful, make it less suitable for professional settings where subtlety is preferred. However, its unique and alluring profile makes it an excellent choice for dates or evening casual outings, especially given its strong compliment factor and lasting power.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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 distinctive, slightly green banana, spiced gently with cinnamon and a generous splash of rum, brightened by a hint of orange. The heart introduces creamy orchid and jasmine, entwined with dried dates and a touch of warm amberwood. It dries down to a rich, indulgent base of caramel, vanilla, and whipped cream, underscored by earthy saffron and a smooth, persistent musk, creating a complex, edible aroma.
