An improved version of Myrrhe Imperiale
Unquestionably the myrrh is the absolute protagonist of this elixir, benzoin is another important element, although this is less noticeable, but with a fundamental role within the aroma, its vanilla background and its nuances. In the output stand out saffron and pepper on a resinous and sweet background, with a slight fruity touch, which I do not know if it is because of the currant or because the pepper is pink and has that fruity nuance, anyway, it is something tiny and only a small nuance inside a sea of ??sweet, balsamic and spicy resin, a real delight. This start is frugal, and soon the myrrh appears reclaiming its throne, a smoked myrrh on a bed of benzoin and amber, elegant, sober and exquisite. I, a lover of these resins, could not put my nose to my arm without drooling, incredible. From here, the aroma remains almost linear, except for many nuances that come and go, crossing the aroma to die at skin level. Some nuances, sometimes, balsamic and creamy, others, sweet and dry, and even, sometimes, spicy, but always of a beauty comparable to the sumptuousness of the oriental palaces.

Yes, as you may have noticed, it is identical to Myrrhe Imperiale of the Armani Prive collection. Amazing the resemblance, when I smelled it for the first time I could not believe it. One of the most remarkable differences that I see, is that this Imperial Encens is smoked, the incensed note is more noticeable, otherwise, it is almost exactly the same Myrrhe Imperiale, and for my taste, improved.

The performance is very good, for now I have been using it for about 8 hours and it can still be felt. The stele is moderate pulling down like that of Myrrhe Imperiale. I have to clarify that I have only put a spray on my wrist, so with some more, surely this performance increases considerably. I still think that these types of perfumes are designed for personal enjoyment or delight, or to share in the intimacy of a date, and not to attract attention, are suggestive, intimate aromas and an explicit beauty, which suggest more than show, converting it all around you in a mystery that you long to discover ...

It is a nocturnal aroma and of cold and temperate climates, and not for any moment, it is, rather, the aroma of special occasions, the one that you will want to wear, as long as you need a boost of confidence and sensuality.

If you love Myrrhe Imperiale and you can not afford it, be delighted in your joy, because here you have your beloved perfume at a quarter of its price, and if you enjoy oriental resins, incensed and of quality, write this down, because it will not disappoint you , highly recommended.

Forgive my English.

Dark Machinations
Encens Imperial is one of those fragrances that steps slowly from the shallow mist into the recognizable, gently touching the body with cold hands and then embracing it warmly and intimately.
Like a dark machination that transforms from the dark into the soul, sweeping away all anthracite. A very gentle note of dark berries resonates, breathing a bit more joy into the darkness. Lightly spiced, with a hint of nutmeg and pepper. Slightly herbal at the edges, subtly earthy at the deepest point of the heart. Not at all shrill and loud, but rather extremely quiet, the scent clings to the breath. The smoky essence lingers densely in the shallow mist, melancholically weaving through thoughts.

The shallow mist then slowly but surely dissipates, and it no longer feels so murky. The perception is no longer dazed. The cold hands are now warm. The embrace is even more intimate. Beautiful facets of warmth spread throughout the space. Resin shimmers golden in the fragrance, coating the berries with a thick liquid.

Thus, the scent lingers for a very long time and seems to slumber before the sweetness fades away, leaving only a lukewarm cloak of smoke and resin behind. Exactly my style! The performance is impressive. As for longevity and sillage, it is certainly not a beast. No, it presents itself much closer to the wearer... dark machinations indeed.

I had Myrrhe Imperiale and I notice similarities here too, I find this one much softer, less sharp and more pleasant.

Myrrh is dominant here. It almost has an herbal quality, and the amber adds a noble warmth. Luckily, the blackcurrant supports it (..)
