  • Middle: Ambrette, Cashmere Wood, Moss 

  • Base: Civet, Labdanum, Amberwood 

Why You’ll Like It

  • If you enjoy bold, rich oriental-woody perfumes with depth and character

  • It appropriately channels the opulent feel of Imperial Valley while being more accessible

  • The transitions from oud & oriental top into warm woods and resinous base make it feel luxurious

Try It Before You Commit
Apply the 1 ml sample and wear it for a full day.

  • Note how long the oud + oriental opening stays vivid

  • Observe when the woody and mossy heart emerges

  • See how strong the base of amberwood, labdanum, and civet remains late in wear

  • Test in different temps (warm / cool) to see how well it maintains balance

What's in the vial

Every size is hand-filled from the original retail bottle. 1ml is a glass sample vial — roughly 10–12 sprays, enough to wear the scent for two or three days and see how it sits on your skin. 2ml, 5ml and 10ml come in refillable spray atomizers you can carry.

Will it smell like the original?

Where we name a designer reference, this fragrance was built in its image — close, not identical. Expect the same character and a different opening, drydown or longevity. The link above takes you to every other interpretation of that reference, and when we stock the genuine original you can decant both and decide for yourself.

Shipping, protection & free gifts

Orders ship by USPS Ground Advantage within 1–3 business days and usually arrive 2–5 days later. Spend $45 and we drop a free decant plus a mystery decant into your parcel — and shipping is free on orders $49+.
