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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

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 Wood opens with a vibrant burst of rich, warm spices and fragrant saffron, underpinned by the herbal nuance of thyme and a hint of dark tobacco. As it settles, a gourmand-leaning heart emerges with indulgent cacao, pungent clove, cardamom, and cinnamon, while frankincense adds a smoky depth. The dry down is dominated by a woody, animalic oud, supported by rich amber and smooth leather, creating a long-lasting, opulent trail.
