    What do reviewers say about Imperial Limited Edition and Beau de Jour?

    The lavender opening is the test. Sharp, herbal, a little confrontational, it clears the space for leather and oud to do their work. Those who pass find something that lasts well beyond average.Imperial Limited Edition
    Here's the thing about Beau de Jour: it doesn't care what you think about it. That bitter, medicinal lavender opening is the whole point. Some will love it immediately.Beau de Jour
