Davana, oud, and an imperial valley of authority.
Davana, Sicilian bergamot and pink pepper open into white amber, rosemary and oud over a leather-musk-Haitian vetiver base — bold, dark and utterly commanding.
About This Fragrance
Gissah Imperial Valley is the most celebrated fragrance in the Gissah catalogue — rated 8.4 on Parfumo with over 270 ratings, the highest number of any Gissah fragrance. Launched in 2021, Imperial Valley occupies the rarefied territory of genuinely outstanding oud-leather fragrances that compete with fragrances ten times their price. The opening of davana, Sicilian bergamot, and pink pepper is immediately complex and striking.
The heart of white amber, African rosemary, and oud is one of the most accomplished in any mainstream-accessible fragrance — davana's distinctive warm, fruity-herbal quality complementing the oud beautifully, African rosemary adding a distinctive herbal sharpness. The base of leather, musk, and Haitian vetiver delivers the dark, earthy, lasting depth that has made Imperial Valley a global phenomenon. The 34 units currently in stock are the most of any Gissah on FridayCharm — and for good reason.

✓ Verified BuyerI have tried La Luna and Hudson Valley — Imperial Valley blows both away. The oud-leather-davana structure is at niche quality and the 12+ hour longevity with room-filling projection is extraordinary.
