French Oak & Sage Imperiale is a fresh, woody, sweet scent created for Men and Women by perfumer Michel Germain for the Michel Parfum collection.
Review
This scent is soft, creamy, and fresh. Fig Leaf brings a creamy sweetness that, blended with the freshness of Bergamot, tempers any sharpness that you might expect from the wood filled base. The Fig lingers throughout the composition as Sage comes in, adding a delicate, earthy essence, and Cedarwood and Oak Wood bring a gentle depth. It almost feels like a magical moment in nature…moss covered ground, smooth, shining trees, plump and juicy Figs growing all around you and sweetening the air. It is a scent that can be worn any time or place, for any occasion, and in any season or weather. It is comparable to BDK Parfums Gris Charnel, without the Tea essence, or Mind Games Scholar’s Mate with less of a woody essence. Try this sample and let us know what you think!
Inspiration
The Michel Parfum collection takes inspiration from the grandeur and nobility of the royal courts, creating scents that are elegant, sophisticated, and timeless with a touch of sensuality.
Notes
You can feel the Fig Leaf as soon as this scent is on your skin. Its distinct creamy sweetness envelops your senses, followed closely by the refreshing essence of Bergamot Peel. Sage Oil comes in from the heart, giving a gentle earthy, green touch. Cedarwood can be felt before the Oak, bringing it crisp quality and brightening the Oak. Sandalwood rounds out the composition, adding its sweet essence that boosts the Fig to continue on through to the end.
