Imperial Bloom 香玉
Fragrance notes
Coriander and bergamot open the scent with a crisp, green citrus lift. Neroli adds a bright, slightly bitter orange blossom edge that keeps the start from feeling sugary. The top notes move quickly, though, and the real story sits in what follows.
Ylang-ylang, tuberose, gardenia, and jasmine create a dense white floral heart. Tuberose leads with a creamy weight, while gardenia and jasmine add freshness and ylang-ylang brings a soft, banana-like warmth. The base settles into sandalwood and vanilla, rounded out by ambergris that gives a salty, animalic touch. It becomes powdery and woody rather than sweet, with the florals staying present instead of fading into the background. The aroma feels more like a traditional perfume than a modern fresh spray, leaning into a slightly old-fashioned elegance.
Wear it on a spring evening when you want a flower-forward scent that feels grounded and warm. It fits someone who enjoys white florals but wants the rough edges of coriander and the salty depth of ambergris to keep the bouquet from turning polite.
