Imprevu was launched in 1965 as an intense female perfume that ideally balances the chypre, wood and leather aromas. Absolutely "mature" and opulent, it opens with aldehydes and citruses like bergamot and bitter orange. The heart is composed of leather with traces of clove and floral notes, placed on a wooden base with oak moss.
It is available as perfume extract and EDP.

I was very fond of Imprevu when i was given some in Australia in about 1966. It was an a blue bottle and was a liquid creme perfume which was applied with a spatula connected to the lid. I only had the one bottle because i did not earn much money. I have looked in vain for it since. All the notes were very nice on me, but I believe it could smell different on other people, as many perfumes do.
I'm not surprized there are no reviews for this scent. As popular as it was(and it was very, very popular) it was not memorable. Like so many Cotys the opening was a lovely blend of citruses. But this one had something very unpleasant in the dry down, a "dirty shoe" smell. Other than this unpleasant note it was bland. I'm surprized it's still around.
