Impadia bdk Parfums 2025

I take it back - she’s REAL good!
I wrote a statement for this one just a few days ago after literally ONE spray of this in my skin. I was like, “oh I have Guidance Eau de Parfum and Delina Exclusif and it smells like if you put them together! I definitely don’t need a full bottle of this!”
Folks, this is exactly why we don’t give our opinions until we’ve done a *full wear*. I wore this one to work today, and by the end of the day, I was really thinking about buying a full bottle.
Quentin Bisch is the King of taking his original masterpieces and creating “dupes” or “cousins” (as I like to call them). He’s always finds a way to keep hitting the mark. For me, Impadia hit a mark that I was totally not expecting. Does she smell exactly like the other two I mentioned or the suggested fragrances above? No. But she does share similarities with them while standing on her own.
Impadia opens with a blast of signature pear and that notorious akigalawood that people either hated or loved in Guidance Eau de Parfum. She also is very forward with the citruses atop, which wasn’t really a prominent part of Guidance Eau de Parfum. As the rose heart of the frag comes in, that’s were you get the resemblance to Delina Eau de Parfum and her sisters. However, the orange blossom of Impadia adds to the citruses atop and gives it an added floral touch. The praline and vanilla give the whole scent an intense sweetness and help the florals and woods from going too sharp. I may get too scientific here (the statistic major in me has to do it LOL), but imagine a line graph with a trend line, and you had to plot all of these perfumes together. All of QBs rose creations would fall along, never on, that trend line. If you have one, you don’t have them all, but you definitely have something close!
Lastly, Impadia is the STRONGEST bdk scent I’ve come across so far. Lasted me a full 12 hours (yes, 12 hours) and didn’t really come off until I showered. I immediately got a compliment when I went to work too, and the sillage was hypnotizing me all day long. It’s one you can’t apply too much of or it’ll choke you out and give you a headache. May be too strong for some, but being the rose bomb lover that I am, she’s a real beauty to me, right down to the ombré pink + orange bottle. I’m going to work through my 10 ml and probably grab a bottle before end of summer. QB does it again!
