The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Creed, Rose Imperiale is a Oriental Floral fragrance that combines the lastingness of its heritage with a modern twist. The composition opens with Calabrian bergamot and May rose, creating an immediate sense of freshness and elegance. As it evolves, white iris and angelica add depth to the floral bouquet, while pink pepper introduces a subtle spiciness. The base notes of patchouli, cedar, amber, benzoin, cacao, and caramel provide warmth and sensuality, anchoring the fragrance in rich, powdery comfort.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points, as the rich base notes require time to develop fully. The initial freshness will fade within an hour, but the warm, powdery undertones will linger throughout the day, making it ideal for evening wear.
