NicheOnly 5 months ago

Opens rose-oud w/ fluffy rose & prominent sweetness, reminds me of Oud Satin. Transitions more woody & eventually leathery. Not special.

Nothing special, one dimensional with no depth. The performance is also quite average.

The longevity is impressive, ensuring a day-long embrace of this exquisite scent. Imperial Wood is not just a perfume; it's a sensory masterpiece, making every moment unforgettable.

Essential masculine sex appeal perfume

Imperial Wood is not super woody to me, which initially I was confused by
I found it extremely resinous, spicy and licorice forward.
I hate the taste of licorice/aniseed in cheap confectionary but my GOD does it smell good in perfume

The above mentioned syrup like notes are offset perfectly by the smooth and sensual rose, gentle spices like cardamom, tonka
And my two favourite notes in perfume; soft oud and saffron.
So I'm a lil biased towards Imperial Wood because it ticks every single box I have for a must buy

As you can probably surmise from that description, this stuff is seriously sexy.
I wouldn't wear it to work unless you're trying to get a promotion, or something a bit more steamy w your boss
Opening is slightly fem, but overall it leans slightly masculine - most definitely unisex.
Btw that's also the amount of sex you'll get if you wear this daily

Drydown is when the wood and oud comes in heavily, with a bit of incense from the frankincense. The leather is supple and expensive feeling, as is this fume in general

As with most Pana Dora perfumes, you're getting seriously strong projection.
I get about 14 hours, with a large sillage. 3 sprays absolute max on this big dawg

Also has the best bottle I’ve ever seen. Colouring is better than the other Pana Dora I’ve seen

Pana Dora is easily S tier niche, and so is Ibrahm Al-Zoubi
Every perfume I have tried from them is entirely unique and unlike anything I have smelled
(except Aqua by Dora but that doesn't count bc it's so much better than Tygar)
My pooky Pana Dora dropped yet another masterpiece.

Btw the Noir de Noir comparison isn't super accurate as they don't smell all that similar - but the vibe and feel is similar.

I will date you if you wear this slutty stuff

How could I possibly..

Dazzled by massive bottles with deer head, sweeping descriptions, promising notes, I was prepared for something big.
But when my sharing bottling arrived and I tried it, I was disillusioned.
Even later, when the brand was to be found locally, the compositions could not convince me so at all. Too well known. Too sweet. Too expensive.

Since then, a few months have gone into the country, I have found my filling again after rearranging and new perfume cabinet and wanted to try it again. Has something changed? No.

To me, this fragrance continues to be too sweet, I have no idea what the Wood has to look for in the name, the price actually shocks me and I am glad not to have a bottle.

But I would like to be a little more differentiated on Imperial Wood. Despite the fact that I see no wood there. Instead, the fragrance starts opulently with a lot of soft spices, warm notes of tobacco and resins that neither scratch nor smoke, a touch of flower and that's it. As the first glow fades, it becomes sweeter in the base and continues to be soft and spicy on top. Cinnamon, vanilla and tonka play with each other. Skillfully and yet I can not get away from the feeling of having smelled this mixture umpteen times and simply be repugnant to it. In addition, at the very bottom of the sweetness of the composition bumps a pungent synthetic note. And that then destroys everything for me.
The rest of the course is linear and without further surprises. That is also completely in order so. It does not need a change of direction to be well composed fragrance. But here I was disappointed.

As already mentioned: too sweet, too familiar, too expensive. Too bad.

A perfect gift.

I chose this fragrance as a birthday gift for my best friend.

He was born in the winter and very masculine and cold in character.

I found this fragrance perfect, it literally smells like winter in the bottle, and warms the rooms in which it is with its beautiful woody scent!

The bottle is a masterpiece, just a beautiful sight this golden, large stag!

I also find the processing and the story of Swedish everyday life in the 17th century very interesting.

My first Pana Dora. In love at first sniff

Yesterday we were out and about in Cologne, looked around a few perfumeries and tested lots of fragrances. None of them really blew me away until we arrived at the last store. They also offered Pana Dora, which I had always wanted to try.

They were all great, but when I got the Imperial Wood sprayed on my hand, I knew "That's the one!"
At first, it hits your nose with a real sweetness that is really addictive. In addition to the rose, cherry notes definitely come out for me at first.
After a few minutes, the strong sweetness and "cherry" fade more and more into the background and it remains a beautiful, sweet, rosy, spicy and woody-leathery fragrance until the end.

I have to keep smelling it myself, because different notes keep popping up in my nose. Simply a great, special and beautifully balanced fragrance, which also has enormous longevity. Sprayed on in the early evening, you can still smell it the next morning. In terms of sillage, it is very radiant at first, but then subsides after a while and is absolutely not disturbing.
