Especially the already discontinued fragrances leave me helpless with many manufacturers. Why was this decision made? Were the sales figures bad? You can't get any more ingredients? A second factor that occurs very frequently (in my perception) in Boadicea is that notes are given that have almost nothing to do with the scent itself. Just with my signature scent, Midnight, I observed how the original notes ( that were perceptible) on the manufacturer's website changed, corrected here (Parfumo) of course, too, and then completely contributed to the confusion.
What am I trying to say? Emprise is actually a floral scent. He starts very extensively and classically aldehydic. Very briefly I even smell some pepper (spices) for the first five minutes. Then flowers as far as the nose goes. I'd have set them to white flowers by now. But also some carnation comes into play. Can it be a scent classification on the basis of "more well-known" scents already here? Good, good, good. So, Emprise is a little less delicate and creamy in the opening than Roja's Haute Luxe and swings a little with the carnation vibe from L´oscar pour homme. I like both fragrances, especially Haute Luxe, very much because of their very classic, but also timeless elegance.
The apricot, or anything fruity at all, is perhaps only perceived with an incredible amount of imagination and persuasion. I don't smell them at all. Lily (white bloomer) and carnation dominate too much for me. Now it should be said that I drew on the full resources for my comment today. It was a good five sprayers. The fragrance cannot be a presenter at the moment without senseless overdosing.
After about half an hour, the fragrance begins to detach itself from its flower meadow existence and the spiritual and olfactory ancestors mentioned above. Should these please also be understood as "something like", rather than as twin fragrances. So we have the top note, if you will, behind us?
Well, the floral theme remains. However, it is varied. There are also slightly smoky-woody aspects of the resins and the oud, which give the fragrance a little more edge again. So the carnation is not alone.
Throughout the course of the fragrance, Emprise consistently conveys something "clean". Almost aristocratically tidy cool. White wood is sprinkled with resin and now creates a warmer accord that promises the seemingly flying flowers a home. This aura of floating now lasts for hours. The smell is pleasantly present, leaves a small tail (when leaving the room) and fits really well to the currently very hot temperatures. After more than 8 hours a well-known but wonderfully classic combination of musk and sandalwood awaits us in the drydown, which rounds off the fragrance closer to the skin.
He's a perfect match for a woman, like a man. In my perception, as with Roja Doves Haut Luxe, we arrived at the era of classics with this fragrance, with references to the "old" Guerlains. Feel 55% female, 45% male. The fragrance is neither oriental nor fruity. It is floral-woody, with minimal resinous-smoky speckles. The times, in which one wore exactly such smells exclusively to special occasions, perhaps luckily, are past. Because Emprise is also an "Immergeher". It doesn't infect. But it certainly has a profile.
And as his name, Emprise, promises, he has influence... maybe power. A different time. Which doesn't seem to be over yet today.
