Impadia
Impadia opens with pear and bergamot before mandarin adds a citrus warmth that Jordi Fernandez uses as a transition into the rose heart. Bulgarian and Turkish rose together give the floral core two different facets of the same material: the Bulgarian rich and dense, the Turkish lighter and more abstract. African orange flower threads through the heart with a brightness that lifts the rose. Akigalawood in the base is the technical choice that defines the composition's register: dry, woody, slightly spiced, vanilla absolute and sandalwood giving the drydown a warmth that holds.
Why We Carry This
David Benedek built BDK Parfums around a distinctly French approach to niche perfumery, and Impadia exemplifies that: a rose composition that earns its luxury positioning through material specificity rather than obvious richness. The akigalawood base is an unexpected pairing with the rose heart that rewards repeated wearing.
