Imperiale is the essence of the citrus and flowers blends, a Guerlain specialty. Imperiale cologne is truly a Guerlain classic as the well-balanced blend of lemon verbena, cedar, neroli and rosemary fuses into a light bouquet, each enhancing the other. It is neither feminine nor masculine, yet asserts itself in its calmness and serenity. It's a fragrance for men and women who want to feel like royalty! Imperiale cologne was created by Pierre-Francois-Pascal Guerlain in 1893 which lead to his appointment as purveyor of fine fragrances to the Emperor Napoleon III.
