Plume Impression Rivalite Imperiale by Karl
You may ask, “What sets a fragrance apart from most others.” I will share with you dear reader, a special fragrance that stands out statuesque and splendid.
“This is not a careful room, although there is much to appraise…
You thought this was going to be a wasted evening but now you are not so sure.” -Penny Dreadful Ballroom scene, Dorian Gray to Vanessa Ives.

Mises en Scene: An epicurean establishment where haute couture and nobility take centre stage. Outside may be a tumult of chaos. However, here there is entertainment and intrigue in abundance. We saunter through lavish galleries and take to the centre stage. This is where the buzz of convivial energy and exuberance is on show as people intermingle and converse. Through the throng something takes our attention, a whisp of sheerest subtlety but the effect hits like an arrow straight to one’s heart. A moment in time captured as clearly as a photographic image and etched in our memory. I liken it to the meeting in the television series ‘Penny Dreadful’ where Vanessa Ives and Dorian Gray enjoy exchange glances and a flirtatious exchange. As those of you may know, random invitations can lead to explosive tête-à-têtes. Plume Impression (Winner of Best of Show Exsence 2022) founded by Sabine Schaffer and Gabriel Chami delivers lavish, artistic perfumes and Rivalite Imperiale is one of my most beloved from their Royal Spirit collection. Its sensual and sophisticated nature makes for a fragrance of luxury.

This is the experience of Plume Impression Rivalite Imperiale, a perfume of romance and refinement. It is an invitation to explore another side of yourself, donning your finest attire. This fragrance is high class and glamourous. So, what makes it so special from other luxury perfumes in today’s market? The opening is a fruity, spicy, and slightly honeyed experience. Blending cinnamon and plum with exotic fruits, the perfume is immediately sumptuous and syrupy but also airy and this leaves a captivating trail. It melts into your skin creating a layer of addiction. The heart combines a wet and light tobacco with tonka bean and patchouli. The key here is that these notes are reigned in somewhat and beckon in a light caress of sweet, earthy, and boozy tones like the softest whisper in one’s ear. This leads one to abandon their sweet nature and give in to its allure. The base of vanilla, amber and sandalwood takes the juicy and sweet facets and provides a silky-smooth base to proceedings, ever so slightly carnal with a touch of the gourmand. The classical structure of this fragrance ensures that it makes a bold statement yet keeps things genteel but enraptures you.
Plume Impression Rivalite Imperiale evokes a mysterious individual who has poise and self-confidence. It is never overbearing whilst has the power to capture one’s attention. When wearing it I feel this sense of relaxation, safe in the understanding that this is me at my absolute peak. For those who also wear it I can imagine a presence of grace, sophistication, and magnetism. This is a special perfume, one to cherish and love for its beauty and rarity. One feels unique with it.
Notes: Dried Fruits, Cinnamon, Mirabelle, Tobacco, Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Vanilla, Amber, Sandalwood.
