Tubéreuse Impériale by BDK Parfums opens bright and juicy, with African orange flower and tangerine over ripe passionfruit and a cool, almost frosted edge of ice. The base turns marine and a little skin-like: ambrette, sand and sea air keep it close and warm rather than sweet. It is unisex, easy for anyone who likes citrus and fruit paired with something salty and clean rather than heavy. Voters favour it in autumn and winter, reaching for it after dark more than by daylight, though day wear works too. Longevity opinion leans toward long lasting, while the sillage vote tips toward strong. A 3ml decant is enough to work out whether this fruity, sandy side of it suits you before you choose a size.

The house
More from BDK Parfums
BDK Parfums is a Paris house that David Benedek set up in 2016, drawing on a family connection to perfume that goes back three generations to 1959. The range is warm and polished: amber, vanilla and patchouli at the base, pink pepper and bergamot for lift, and rose or orange blossom threaded through the middle. Start with Velvet Tonka, then Gris Charnel, a spiced, woody scent with a hint of tea. Rouge Smoking is the sweet one, glossy cherry over amber. Tabac Rose sets rose against spice for evenings out.
