Oud Imperial Eau de Parfum is a woody, spicy, Oud scent created for Men and Women in 2012 by perfumer Luca Maffei.
Review
This scent is bold and gritty. The Leathery nuances stand out, making this Oud a powerhouse scent. As it dries down, the Incense tones come out and you will find yourself feeling like you can do anything. May not be suitable for work, but will be perfect for any and all cold weather settings. It has been compared to Monsieur by Frederic Malle and Private Label from Jovoy. Try this sample and let us know what you think!
Inspiration
Known as “The Wood of the Gods”, Oud Imperial evokes deep contemplation and warm sensuality. It reveals an understanding of oneself, and each one's passions and desires.
Notes
Oud entwines itself within all aspects of this incredible scent. It starts out with a softness while dancing with Jasmine, but soon blossoms into chaos with Cistus, Patchouli, and Ladanum. As things start to calm down, spicy Papyrus and smoky Incense create a contemplative moment, and you are in love. Crisp woods of Cedar, Vetiver, and Birch blend with creamy Sandalwood, keeping everything above thriving, and you have your own little slice of Oud heaven.
