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.

About

Bouquet Imperial opens with a bright, aromatic burst of lemon and bergamot, softened by soothing lavender and a hint of intriguing anise. The heart unfolds into a classic, elegant bouquet of rose and geranium, uplifted by a delicate orange blossom. It settles into a warm, earthy base of cedar and oakmoss, with a subtle sweetness from tonka bean and a clean musk finish. The overall effect is sophisticated and beautifully blended, managing to feel both fresh and grounded.
