Beast mode longevity. Starts off with a very strong almond extract top that mellows after 20-30 minutes. This scent changed on me all day, sometimes sweet, sometimes powdery, the whole time smooth...

(Now known as just Opoponax) I find myself surprised at how many people smell lavender in this when there is nothing in it that would give it the sharply herbal, laundry soap smell that lavender...

I found a bottle of this scent in TKMaxx for £9.00 and thought I blind buy it and give it a try. How glad I am that I did - it's a sweet, rich, resinous, sultry gem that will be perfect for the...

This is gorgeous, a deep, almost syrupy opoponax scent. I love it in the cooler months. It smells rich and golden and glowing. This one's all about the basenotes; the drydown lasts forever. Layers...

I guess I'm the strange one here, because I don't detect any powder at all (hate powder) and in no way do I think this is masculine. It's not sweet or flowery, and I would say it's a winter scent....

Think of this scent as if it were a warm white cashmere scarf or, even better, a cardigan made of the same material. This is the sensation yuo get with Impérial Opoponax: a very cozy and warm frag....

This one is fantastic if you want big, smooth, flowing myrrh. For me, personally, it was too much. Too strong and too perfumey. I do like it much more than Annick Goutal's Myrrhe Ardente.

IO starts out with a rather masculine cologne top - sort of a clean citrus, then gradually dries into opoponax (also known as sweet myrrh) vanilla heaven. Very smooth and balsam like, sweet and...

This is the first opoponax scent I've owned (that I know of) and I can't wait to try more. Imperial Opoponax is warm and cuddly like my favorite blanket. I can't imagine anyone not liking this....

I recently pulled out my decant of this after its summer hibernation. Yum. When I first tried this I was new to opoponax so I didn't really know what I was smelling--something resinous, ambery,...

I understand why everyone loves Imperial Opoponax. Really, I do. The drydown is sweet and powdery and comforting. It's just a little too much for me, in the same way that many classic Guerlains...

Starts out very masculine and dries down to a powdery soft finish with just a touch of that men's cologne edge. Most people are saying it's a winter scent but I wear this in the summer, too. It's...

This fragrance knocked me off my feet. It's like a blanket, warm, comforting...this is the only opoponax fragrance for me. I love my fragrances a little sweet, powdery (but not too much). This one...

I fell in love with Impérial Opoponax a year ago, but it was August, definitely not the right season to wear this. So I waited and waited. I finally bought a mini (25 ml) a month ago and now I'm...

This to me is very much like Emeraude c. 1982 (classier and less gaggy) + myrrh. Very nice!

This is not the powdery and snuggly resinous goodness that I was hoping for. Rather, the opoponax here is smooth and cold like marble. The citrus in this smells like bergamot to my nose, which in...
