Imperial Purple

Imperial Purple is a refined, powdery iris fragrance with a subtle leathery and woody character, evoking the elegance of Dior Homme and Valentino Uomo Intense, though with a lighter, more transparent profile. The opening features a bright, waxy iris note that gives way to a clean, slightly soapy and green herbal transition, with a soft dustiness reminiscent of old school colognes. In the dry down, a light sweetness from praline and vanilla emerges, blending with smooth suede-like leather and dry woods, creating a refined, slightly gourmand finish. It lacks a strong sillage, with projection remaining moderate to intimate, and longevity is moderate—lasting several hours, especially on clothing. On skin, it is a skin-scent by the end, but the scent evolves subtly over time, shifting from a bright iris character to a deeper, richer dry-down with faint powder and earthy undertones. It feels more like a wearably unisex fragrance, especially in cooler weather, and suits professional or relaxed evening wear.
