Agarwood mixed with other chemical mess. I do not get the comparison to jubilation 25 but they are in the same genre. People around me hated it. Performance is slightly above average and for this price this is really a shame. Pass!

I am sure there are some sweet notes in here as i can smell the berries quite clear! mingled with agarwood, and oud in particular, something like a French type of oud with doses of patchouli & amber. Impressive but be aware this is quite strong and heavy.
Worth the try for dark creamy scents lovers.

I get a lot of leather (a real soft upholstery leather), geranium, sandalwood, lavender and what to my nose smells like cattails in shallow water. This isn’t a “warm” fragrance but does have a slight resinous floral vibe that reminds me of Creed’s Royal Oud. It’s not skanky or offensive. If anythig it comes off very “new England” proper and dressy and authoritative.
For me, this smells like my summers on Chincoteauge Island. To a “T”.
Very wearable and sophisticated. In Southern California, the right hoodie and jeans can be “dressed up” and so I will usually stick to that, but it is certainly a more formal scent. Not so stiff you cant wear it out as an *amazing* date night fragrance though.
Think YSL M7 (reformulated) mixed with some Creed Royal Oud, and layered with Creed’s Original Santal and you’re in the right ballpark. Beautiful juice.
Scent: 10/10 seriously. Two different wears with a tester and it was full bottle time.
Longevity: 10/10 monster longevity, I’ve been wearing today’s spray for 11 hours in the heat and humidity and I can still clearly smell it on my arm.
EDIT: It has now been 20 hours since this single spray on my forearm and I can still detect it at point-blank range.
Projection: 6/10 for the first hour or so, then pulls in closer to the body (about a 4/10) for the next few hours, then becomes a close range-point blank scent afterwards for the rest of it’s life.
Sillage: 8/10 for the first 45min-1.5 hours. 5/10 afterwards till the two-three hour mark, then nothing. Shame really but the rest makes up for it in my book. My skin eats fragrance so you may have better results.
Would I buy another bottle?: No question. No hesitation. Yes!

I get the B Men and jubilation references below but, to me, this goes much deeper than both. Definitely an accord that’s tough to put a finger on each note as it comes through but this is a somewhat fruity rose oud and it’s definitely a winner. It does stay somewhat linear throughout but that is not at all a bad thing . Everything I’ve tried from Boadicea just spells quality, they make some pretty serious stuff.

On my skin opinion it links to Agent Provocateur and MFK Our Silk Mood.
Rose with patchouli, dry woods and musk.
Imperial had the richest and detailed way of playing the theme.
Need to double check that but it’s seems on my skin MFK has better longevity and projection in comparison to BTV.

So I’ve been smelling this scent more and more lately and I am just so impressed with the blend. It’s complex but in a very good way. I am able to smell a lot of different notes, but at the end of the day we have another rose oud combo here. It’s very elegant. If high quality had a smell, this would be it. It’s dark and sweet, but not cloying. It will last for a long time and loves the cold weather. I do recommend this scent and the house has me very curious of their other offerings and will need to add a few on my monthly lucky scent order. Very well priced for a niche house too, $150’for50ml bottle that will last this long is a bargain for this quality actually.

Right on opening, I can’t help but echo the references to Mugler. Chewy, delicious, sweet patchouli which seems to be a signature in many of his creations.
The rose, oud and freesia in the heart are gently sweet and joyous. The geranium is the most discernible among the aromatics with barely a whisper of lavender or angelica, all lending a subtle diffusive lift.
I love the labdanum here, botanically ambery and bright. And the woods are gentle, comforting and ever-present in the base and create a perfect balance.
However personally, I’m not moved. I’ve sniffed too many oudy-rose scents to be inspired, albeit delicate and well blended here. But the prominent spicy patchouli gives a familiar spin that will leave one pleasantly satisfied.

Love at first sniff!
Adore this it’s the love child of Amouage Jubilation 25 and Mugler’s unfathomably unpopular B*Men.
Opens exactly like the two of them fruity berries and a sharp gorgeous rhubarb note.
This is a very woody fragrance, Guiac wood to me is a solid base and apparent thoughout but it’s more complex than B*Men and in that regard more similar to Jubilation man. Labdanum gives it a fizzy upmarket quality there’s a lot of patchouli but it’s totally in proportion and doesn;t work against the rest of the composition. A hint of rose as it gets deeper into the heart and the rhubarb and fruits settle down.
I would never slate Thierry Mugler B*Men I love that scent but Imperial is like a super classy, expensive version of it and rightly so given what you pay for this juice. Worth every penny in my opinion great projection and longevity is what you’d expect at this level and Imperial doesn’t disappoint.

Not your average warm and comforting fragrance, this is a busy perfume with tons of labdanum to spare on the skin. Imperial has occasional woody moments but never seems to eclipse the warm wind of amber that never seems to go away. At times, I struggled to pinpoint exactly what I was smelling. I have to give the creater props, definitely had me on the ropes. I didn’t find the spices too overbearing hence why I refer to this as a comforting scent. Spices basked in all that aromatic glory assists in the intricacy of this frag. Longevity wasn’t an issue for me, clocking in at 7 or so hours. There’s a lot of different ways for me to describe this frag. I’m curious to see what you guys think….

Smoother and more sophisticated version of Mugler’s B*Man for 5x the price. It is gooood though. If you really like B*Man and have $250.- laying around go for it!
