Fragrance information:

Coty launched Imprevu in 1965 — and it was a brilliant move. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the chypre, wood, and floral families. Perfumer Bernard Chant is the author behind this composition. Available as perfume extract.

Made in France. Imprevu Coty unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Imprevu unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Coty is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract emphasizes the right density and pace of development.

Right at the start you meet radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Aldehydes, Bergamot, Bitter Orange and Coriander. These 4 notes set a burst of citrus freshness that is impossible to miss.

In the central layer you sense Clove, Floral Notes, Iris, Jasmine, Rose and ylang-ylang carrying a velvety rose-iris direction.

The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Musc without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Powdery, Amber and Leather add depth to the backdrop.

At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Fairy, Citrus, Spicy and Floral. The palette also extends to Whiteflower, Balsamic, Animals and Leather.

Overall Imprevu reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged through real development.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)
5
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous
5
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Complex and profound
