Pana Dora Imperial Wood Extrait

Description

Imperial Wood is Pana Dora's commanding oud-spice statement, built around real agarwood, tobacco, and cinnamon-cacao. Launched in 2021 and composed by Ibrahim Al-Zoubi, it opens with tobacco and spicy safraleine before a cinnamon-cacao-cardamom heart settles into a smoky, leathery agarwood base: Fragrantica classifies it simply as Woody, and reviewers note its long, commanding wear.

Scent Character

• Oud & Spicy: 31% each
• Sweet: 15%
• Woody: 15%
• Fresh: 8%

Translation: a genuinely oud-forward fragrance. This is one of the few in the Pana Dora line where the agarwood note is real and load-bearing, tied with warm spice as the dominant character, rounded out by cocoa-tinged sweetness.

FAQ

Is Imperial Wood for men or women?
Unisex. Fragrantica lists it for both women and men.

Does it contain real oud?
Yes. Agarwood is a genuine, prominent base note here, alongside leather and incense, unlike some Pana Dora scents where "oud" is more of a resinous suggestion.

What's the longevity like?
Strong: expect 7-9 hours with moderate-to-strong sillage, one of the longer-wearing scents in the lineup.

How does it wear through the day?
It opens spicy and tobacco-forward, moves through a cinnamon-cacao heart, and dries down into a smoky, leathery oud base.
