How long does this fragrance typically last on the skin?+−
Imperial Valley is known for exceptional longevity. Most users report it lasting between 9 and 10 hours, with the scent often lingering on clothing even after a wash.
Is this scent suitable for hot weather?+−
Yes. Despite the leather and oud notes, the heavy presence of Italian bergamot and Cape snow bush gives it a freshness that performs well in the heat, making it a popular choice for summer and spring.
Should I be careful with how much I spray?+−
Given its potent sillage and high concentration, a little goes a long way. Enthusiasts recommend starting with 2-3 sprays to avoid it becoming overwhelming, especially in office or indoor settings.
Does the leather note make it smell animalic or harsh?+−
Not at all. The leather in Imperial Valley is described as clean, soft, and modern. It is balanced by white amber and musk, resulting in a smooth "new luxury car" feel rather than a rugged or smoky one.
