Davana and pink pepper over oud and leather
Gissah Imperial Valley is an Eau de Parfum that moves from Sicilian bergamot, pink pepper and davana to a heart of oud, white amber and rosemary, then settles on leather, musk and Haitian vetiver. At 200 ml it is a large bottle to buy on a hunch, so a 10 ml decant is the sensible first step.

How it unfolds
-
Davana's fruity spice
Sicilian bergamot and pink pepper open the perfume, with davana in the mix. FragranceGems says davana gives a distinctive fruity and spicy undertone that claims attention straight away. Expect a sparkling but characterful start rather than a quiet one.
-
Smoke, white amber and rosemary
Oud, white amber and rosemary form the heart. FragranceGems describes the oud as smoky and the white amber as bright, giving the centre an almost mineral, aristocratic depth. Rosemary adds a herbal line running through it.
-
Leather, musk and Haitian vetiver
Leather, musk and Haitian vetiver make the base. FragranceGems calls these earthy, animalic notes a strong, solid close. If leather or animalic tones are new to you, this is the stage that decides whether the large bottle is for you.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Wear the sample on a cool evening, since FragranceGems tags it strong and for autumn and winter. Use a restrained amount on the forearm, then follow the change from davana and pepper to oud and rosemary. Try a second time in daytime, because the tags also list daily wear.
Who it is for
For people who already enjoy oud, leather or dry woods and want to know how this one balances them. If you are new to oud, it is a gentle way to find out whether smoke, herbs and leather appeal to you. In the FragranceGems listing it is unisex.
Why try Gissah Imperial Valley as a sample first
A 200 ml flacon of an oud and leather perfume is a long commitment if the leather turns out not to suit you. In the vial you get the same perfume, poured at FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is no official brand sample. Gissah has no part in this.

Frequently asked
Is the oud very smoky?
FragranceGems describes the oud as smoky, balanced by bright white amber. How much smoke you notice is partly a matter of how you apply it, so start with a small amount.
What is davana doing here?
FragranceGems credits davana with the distinctive fruity, spicy undertone in the opening. The sample shows whether you enjoy that start or find it too forward.
Is it a daytime perfume?
It is tagged for daily, evening and special occasions, and also as strong, so a small amount in daytime is the way to test it. The sample lets you compare day and evening.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
