Imprint The Decay Of The Angel is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. The Decay Of The Angel opens with Mandarin, Neroli, Rose, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Cade, Acacia, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Imprint's The Decay Of The Angel carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a divisive marvel, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Reviewers are split between those who find it a subtle, ephemeral disappointment and those who are utterly captivated by its unique, artistic journey. If you're after something truly individual, it's worth the sniff, but don't expect a crowd-pleasing beast mode performer.

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.

Its moderate sillage and lack of overt 'freshness' makes it fine for an office, though its unique character might turn some heads. It truly shines on a date or formal occasion, offering an intriguing, intimate aura, but its subtlety means it won't project across a room. This isn't a sporty scent; it's too complex and introspective for a gym session.

About

Opens with a surprising burst of fresh rose and bright mandarin, lifted by neroli, before a resinous wave of frankincense and the distinctive, almost tar-like scent of cade oil enters. Jasmine adds a delicate, yet indolic, complexity, settling into an earthy patchouli base that hints at depth without ever overwhelming. It's a dance between light floralacy and shadowy, herbal woodiness.
