Elixir Dominus Imperial Cologne

Imperial suggests considerable weight, and Elixir Dominus Imperial Cologne from Camille Rochelle backs it up, Timur berries, grapefruit peel and transparent flowers opening tart, citrus bright and delicately floral. Pepper, basil and incense settle the centre into something sharp, herbal and smoky at once. Cedarwood, sandalwood and vetiver close the base dry and richly woody. Timur berries are a rare Himalayan spice, related to Sichuan pepper and giving the top a citrusy, tingling quality unlike standard pink or black pepper. Elixir Dominus Imperial Cologne is a woody citrus Eau de Parfum, suited to versatile day to evening wear. Camille Rochelle reached for an unusual spice to open this one.
