The Tagesschau: Empire

So, it's that time again! A day at the office and another nice fragrance is tested for the day, but not for the first time!
Today it was Imperium for me, which has great parallels to Aventus and remains in my memory.

So I grabbed the bottle and applied the fragrance, by the way, you can easily hammer nails into the wall or hold any door open with the bottle.
Shortly after applying it, I immediately got a familiar DNA in my nose, from the aforementioned fragrance - Aventus.
But, here with a certain twist and its own charm, it is immediately sweetish and not as citrusy-fresh as the previously mentioned fragrance. I also perceive this slightly harsh, almost smoky scent like Creed, but not as intense.
This fragrance stays in my head all day long, as the Imperium Extrait de Parfum has really great longevity, and it remains beautiful for the first few hours.
It's a nice mix, I would say about 70-80% the basic DNA of Creed, 10-20% sweet notes (here in the form of the beautiful vanilla + sweet saffron) and the remaining percentages give me bright, floral notes.
Accordingly, ideal for me for the transition period from winter to summer!
So I'm in the office and have actually been complimented on how good I smell - the scent trail behind me is subtle but present. So it's ideal for the office so as not to overwhelm noses ;)
The aforementioned mix actually accompanies me for most of the day, pretty much unchanged, but this present Creed-like DNA pops out here and there, which actually makes me feel good and puts a smile on my face every time.
But over time, these "spurts" diminish, the fragrance settles a little more linearly on the skin and yet remains present - only from that point on, this wonderful vanilla emerges. I agree with the one or other review or some statements here - like the vanilla from Ani Extrait de Parfum, only much softer and not as strong.
This mix, now approx. 60% Aventus, 30% Ani Extrait de Parfum and 10% light, floral notes (for me at least) now remains on the skin and no longer changes.

To summarize, I was a bit reluctant to wear Imperium Extrait de Parfum at first, but the more I wear it, the more complex it becomes and the more beautiful it becomes for me! For anyone out there looking for an actual (for me) alternative to Aventus !"! Because the Imperium Extrait de Parfum does not try to be like or the next Aventus, but makes its own fragrance from a part of the DNA, which can be compared but only up to a certain point. This is a sweeter, less fresh-tart version with a small, but subtle, proportion of floral notes.
Really worth a test!

Many thanks for your time, should you have made it this far! :)
