About This Perfume
Oriza L. Legrand A L’Impériale comes across as smoky spiced tobacco with creamy amber warmth. It opens with white pepper and spices, moves into blond tobacco and tonka bean and settles on cedarwood, amber and blond woods. It reads unisex.
This extrait de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and smoky for nights out.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $374.
