Aigle Impérial Chopard 2019

Actually, with the description "aquatic", I'm out of it from the start. Also, there is usually no compatibility between me and oud... with the words "actually" and "normally" it is a matter of filler words and they come therefore only a low value of statement to.

Is this fragrance also to be considered like a filler word? I find that by no means and enter, surprised at myself, a fragrance region in which I feel rather uncomfortable.
The venture pays off...

Aigle Impérial serves the role of fresh-woody-spicy genre in Chopard's oud-assafi-quadriga without overflowing aquatics and overly penetrating oud notes.

The top note is dominated for my sense of bergamot and ginger, the matcha tea takes both their bite and already now light oud and incense clouds are perceptible. All in all, a slightly smoky-citrusy opening with small green speckles.

In the heart, more smoke and quite a lot of wood comes into play what seamlessly increases in the base further. The incense has rather a cool and slightly sacred odeur, patchouli and the two oudnoten are tart and dark.

In this fragrance I think of a small Buddhist temple in northern Thailand in the early morning after a violent tropical thunderstorm, so associates for me then with the idea that the listed woods were soaking wet, also a very rudimentary aquatic.

All around a successful fragrance with extremely good durability and pleasant sillage.
Wearable also quite at warmer temperatures. Unisex yes, but...

The entire presentation seems luxurious, but also a little out of time. The flacons of the series are designed in petrol-colored glass, very massive and remind of the fact that the fragrances come as a collection extension of a jeweler, in the classic staircase cut therefore, as it is common, for example, with aquamarines.

Testenswert is the series in any case, although also nothing really groundbreaking or unique is there
