Imperial Parfums Santorini is a unisex fragrance released by Imperial Parfums in 2026.
The composition comes in parfum, or extrait, concentration, so it has a rich, intense character and is designed for those who appreciate expressive fragrance formulas.
The name Santorini evokes associations with a sunny island, sea air and white facades. However, the fragrance itself conveys this atmosphere through bright citrus freshness, a spicy-aromatic heart and a warm woody-amber base.
Imperial Parfums is a UAE perfume brand that creates unisex fragrances with a distinctive character and high concentration.
Santorini follows this direction: it does not divide its character into strictly feminine or masculine, instead offering a clean, energetic and at the same time soft composition for any mood.
The fragrance belongs to the citrus and fougère families, combining the sparkle of fresh fruit with herbal depth and a dry woody accent.
At the opening, Santorini smells bright and juicy. Grapefruit brings a characteristic bitter sparkle, lemon intensifies the cool sensation, and mandarin makes the beginning sunnier and rounder.
This accord quickly attracts attention without seeming sharp: the citrus notes come together in a cohesive, dynamic cloud.
As it develops, the composition becomes calmer and more complex.
Bergamot sustains the freshness, adding a touch of bitterness and refined transparency, while thyme creates an aromatic, slightly spicy nuance.
As a result, Santorini's heart does not fade into simple citrus freshness but takes on a fougère character with a sense of cleanliness, airiness and polished grooming.
In the base, the citrus lightness gives way to a denser, warmer sound.
Cedar creates a dry woody framework, grey amber adds volume and a persistent amber finish, lily of the valley introduces a delicate floral nuance, and vanilla softens the composition with gentle sweetness.
As a result, the fragrance retains a fresh silhouette while leaving a noticeable, warm and highly expressive trail.
According to its stated characteristics, Santorini has very strong sillage.
It is a fragrance for occasions when you want perfume to be a fully-fledged part of your look and to be noticed beyond the immediate vicinity of the skin.
Its rich concentration makes it especially suitable for evenings, events and walks in cool weather, while the citrus opening also allows it to be worn during the day.
In hot weather, it is best to start with a moderate number of sprays and assess how it develops on your own skin: the high concentration and powerful sillage can quickly become dominant.
Specific recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing are not provided, so it is sensible to apply the fragrance gradually, focusing on pulse points and avoiding excessive application to delicate fabrics.
Those who enjoy a combination of vivid citrus notes, a clean fougère character and a rich base may want to compare Santorini with Roja Parfums Elysium Parfum Cologne.
As additional options to explore, consider Roja Parfums Oceania and Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute. They can also help you discover different facets of a fresh, sunny and noticeable unisex style.

The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes of Imperial Parfums Santorini open with grapefruit, lemon, and mandarin, creating a juicy, sparkling, sun-kissed citrus accord.
Bergamot and thyme unfold at the heart of the composition, making the freshness fuller, more herbaceous, and subtly spicy.
The base notes combine cedarwood, grey amber, lily of the valley, and vanilla.
Cedarwood lends a dry woody quality, grey amber enhances the depth and sillage, lily of the valley adds a sheer floral nuance, and vanilla makes the finish softer and warmer.
Overall, the pyramid is built around the contrast between cool citrus notes, aromatic herbs, and a rich woody-ambery base.
