The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Navitus Parfums, Oud Imperium is a sophisticated composition crafted by perfumer Christian Carbonnel. The fragrance opens with fresh notes of apple and lemon, which contrast sharply against the rich oud at its core. This heart of oud is further enhanced by warm vanilla and amber, creating a luxurious and enveloping aroma that transitions gracefully from day to night. The powdery base notes of tonka bean and musk add depth and a lingering warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Oud Imperium to pulse points for a longer-lasting effect. The fragrance blooms over time, so it’s best to let it settle on your skin rather than layering heavily. It reads well close to the skin, making it perfect for intimate settings.
