Woody, semi-sweet rose, elegantly done
Vivamor Parfums Rouge Imperiale is arguably the first floral-forward fragrance from that the house that I’ve tried so far, a fittingly rose-led blend supported by a medley of (listed) orris, jasmine, sandalwood, suede, cedar, and vanilla. I do sort of get a little bit of all of this, a sharp sort of sandalwood/orris blend countered by vanilla. It has the makings of an agreeable rose/oud fragrance but without the oud itself, but rather an orris and woods blend.
I think it’s quite well done without reinventing the wheel, which has generally been my feedback for the house so far, a lovable fragrance that, while not totally new or unique, very effectively executes on a concept with a dense, rich, lovable, and plausibly versatile mix. As with most of the house’s offerings, Rouge Imperiale strikes me as more appropriate for cooler weather.
Like the rest of the house, Rouge Imperiale is priced at $155 for 100ml in extrait concentration (sold on the house website and Perfumology), which I find reasonable, considering the quality and performance. Overall, I think fans of rose will enjoy this and many will prefer it to options with oud.
