The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Luca Maffei's Oud Imperial, released in 2012, encapsulates the essence of opulence and warmth with a rich blend of woody and smoky accords. The fragrance opens with caraway and jasmine, creating an intriguing contrast between fresh spice and floral sweetness. This leads into a heart of agarwood (oud) and incense, which adds depth and a sense of ritualistic elegance. The base notes of patchouli, blackwood, labdanum, vetiver, cedar, and sandalwood weave together to create a complex blend that is both earthy and balsamic, leaving a lasting impression of luxurious warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Oud Imperial to pulse points for a gradual build-up. The smoky oud and patchouli notes take time to bloom, so allow it to settle on your skin before heading out. This fragrance is best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
