Nil Imperial is a sweet, Rose, Gourmand scent created for Men and Women in 2023.
Review
This scent opens with Turkish Rose Absolute. The Lemon Oil and Sugar create a zesty, effervescent Rose essence that almost smells like candied Rose petals. The Rose note remains bright, and gets a hint of sweetness with a touch of Intense Vanilla and another dose of Sugar, but never becomes too sweet. This never becomes a Vanilla scent or a candy scent. White Musk comes in at the base, adding a wispy spiciness. The blend of sweet and spicy and Rose feels unique. With one sniff it’s spicy Rose, with another sniff it’s sugar covered Rose petals. It’s a playful spicy Rose scent with a sugary undertone. It feels like a femme fatale scent. This is what Xenia Onatopp smells like. She tempts you and draws you in with her dark eyes, her sweet smile and her red lipstick, but she’s dangerous. Having said that, this is a Rose fragrance that anyone can wear. It’s spicy and dark, yet sweet and petally. It feels elegant, opulent, and stylish. This is a scent that can be worn to the office, but is much better suited for a romantic rendezvous, drinks out with friends, date night, and anytime you want to feel sexy. It can be worn in pretty much any season, and will last on the skin in its Extrait format. It has been compared to Mancera Roses Vanille, and shares similarities with Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Oud Satin Mood.
Inspiration
Nil Imperial is inspired by the Nile River that runs through Egypt. It imagines a time when Pharaohs ruled the land and their palaces lined the pristine waters alongside their lush gardens and hidden courtyards.

Intense Vanilla comes in next, paired with another dose of Sugar, furthering the sweetness that gives the essence of sugar covered Rose petals without being overly sweet.
