This is extremely pungent. The Jasmine is lovely and naturally sweet in the opening blast. Then it settles into the smoky bed of Incense and earthy sweet Oud. It has nuances of Infusion d'Homme with that hazy Incense but the Oud is the focal point here. This is the first palatable Oud fragrance I've smelt. It's challenging but so well blended. It's smells very masculine to me. Without the Jasmine it would be too skanky but the magic creamy white floral sweetens and cleans it all up.

The Cinnamon and Sandalwood gel well to create a nice creamy, woody warmth. The Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine soften the wood medley with the Ylang-Ylang being most prominent. The Benzion adds a sweet resinous edge to the formulation. It's fairly Vanilla like. But never goes into full Gourmand territory. As the balsamic Benzion and Woody Sandalwood give the composition an earthy edge and powdery texture.

This formulation is drier than Irina. Reminds me of those lovely triple milled Italian Rose soaps. It is Vegetal in texture. It is very musk heavy and smooth. But It lacks any sparkle or shine. Still very clean and organic smelling like a nice soap. Just a little too flattened by the musks. I prefer Prada Rose.

The perfect balance between the creamy, sweet and animalic Jasmine and the sharp, soapy and silky Magnolia. Combine to create a gorgeous, jammy sweet, fresh floral bouquet. All wrapped up in a cotton soft musk. Very unique, sparkly and oppulent.

My favourite of the Imperiali line.
And the one that stands out the most.

A cleaner PAPHI with the Bergamot, Patchouli Incense notes most prominent. Sweetened with a very natural, tart Rose Oil Centre. It's much nicer and palatable then PAPHI. but not my cup of tea. Not a fan of the incense and Rose/Patchouli mix. It's immaculately blended. Just not my favorite mix of ingredients.
Edit. This has grown on me. It takes a while to get used to the very tart Rose/Patchouli combo. It's very luxurious smelling and has very strong sillage. It's sharp and spicy but clean and natural.
