Description
Imperial Oud is a deep, spiced extrait from Bujairami. Spices, frankincense, ginger and bergamot open it, May rose softens the heart, and a rich base of licorice, myrrh, tonka bean, sandalwood, patchouli and oud brings warmth and weight. It wears as unisex. Choose it if you like resinous woods and want an oud with plenty of layers.
The Scent Journey
The Opening
Warm spices and frankincense come through first, giving the opening a smoky, resinous glow. Ginger adds a fresh, zesty heat, and bergamot brightens the top with a clean citrus note. It feels rich from the start, with just enough lift to keep it from feeling dense.
The Heart
May rose blooms in the middle, soft and slightly honeyed. It brings a floral grace that sits against the spice and resin. The rose keeps the heart refined and gives the scent a gentler face before the base takes over.
The Dry Down
Oud and sandalwood form a deep, woody core, and myrrh adds a warm, slightly medicinal resin. Licorice brings a dark, sweet edge, patchouli adds earthiness, and tonka bean rounds it all with a creamy softness. The final stage is warm, rich and layered, and it lingers close to the skin.

Longevity and Performance
Imperial Oud is an extrait de parfum, the richer of the two Bujairami strengths. Expect a confident presence in the first hours as the spice and resin open up, then a deep oud and sandalwood base that stays with you through the day on most skin. Extrait sits closer to the skin than eau de parfum, so the dry down feels dense and intimate. Skin, weather and spray count all affect how it wears.
When to Wear It
Imperial Oud is suited to autumn and winter, when its resins and woods feel at their best. It suits evening events, formal dinners, weddings and celebrations. On a cold working day, a single spray brings warmth without being too much for an office.
Two sprays is a good starting point. Spray onto a coat collar or scarf on colder days and the oud will stay with you for longer.

The Inspiration
