Parfum d'Empire Wazamba is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Wazamba opens with Red Apple, Cypress, Incense, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Labdanum, Myrrh, Frankincense, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Resin, Sandalwood, Opoponax, and Fern. Parfum d'Empire's Wazamba carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Wazamba is a divisive beast: a rich, complex incense affair that some rave about and others find utterly unwearable. Expect a bold journey - not a crowd-pleaser for the faint of heart, but a truly unique experience for those who dare.

Given its strong, long-lasting nature and rich, smoky balsamic accords, Wazamba is far too potent for office wear. It's better suited for cooler evenings or intimate occasions where its unique character can be appreciated, with enough sophistication for formal events, but remains too heavy for casual wear in warm weather.

About

An intense, woody-balsamic scent that opens with a tart bite of red apple and crisp cypress cutting through aldehydic incense. This soon melts into a heart of rich, sticky labdanum and plum, infused with ceremonial frankincense and myrrh. The drydown settles into an earthy base of fern, warm resins, sandalwood, and opoponax, leaving a lingering trail of smoky, sweet depth.
