Imperial Peacock

I received this in the mail today and my excitement was over the roof. The packaging and presentation is so luxurious and goregeous. I’ve never seen a prettier perfume bottle😍🦚 Anyways now for the scent, wow wow wow! I’m in love with it. It’s a very sweet oriental gourmand. It’s thick and syrupy but airy at the same time. I will break the ice here by saying that I actually don’t get baccarat vibes from this. Yes it’s sugary and airy but it’s really unique. The sugary and airy quality are the only similarities, and otherwise this is different and much more gourmand. At first spritz, you get a really sweet and sugary cinnamon with almond and vanilla. It actually smells like a sugary pastry with cinnamon sugar ontop. Once it dries down you will start to smell alot of tonka and vanilla and a nice sweet powderiness. Although it is very thick and edible, the rhubarb comes along and keeps it from becoming too overwhelming. it also has a nice spiced touch to it, so addictive! The sugar in this is very airy and uplifting and the vanilla stays prominent throughout the entire wear which is a huge bonus for me. 🍦🧁🤎 Overall, if you love sugary gourmands then you can’t go wrong with this one. If I had to compare this to something, I would say a much creamier and sweeter and more sugary lattafa’s khamrah. Yes the price tag is really high but the sillage and longevity is monstrous I could smell it ALL day long. Ps. The notes on fragrantica are not 100% accurate. These are the correct notes: Almond, Rhubarb, Heliotrope, Tonka Bean, Cinnamon, Black Vanilla, Musk, Sugar Note, Balsamic Note.

This fragrance does not require a long introduction. Imperial Peacock is hands-down the best sweet fragrance currently on the market. And this is coming from someone who doesn't particularly go for fragrances like that. This is the only fragrance I am going to wear this entire season. Yes it is expensive. Yes it is worth it. I wish I tested this before I purchased Love Delight from Amouage because this smell is exactly what I wanted Love Delight to be. They are the same price! It's so frustrating because $400 is quite a lot of money to me. There is no way I can afford both. Please take my suggestion and purchase Imperial Peacock. You will not regret it.

✨ There’s a quiet magic to seeing a peacock cross your path—unhurried, iridescent, and strangely serene. Living in South Florida, I spot them often, and they never fail to enchant me. Imperial Peacock by Alexandre J captures that same soft elegance. Almond, cinnamon, and rhubarb bring brightness to the opening before it melts into a creamy swirl of vanilla and heliotrope. A warm, gently spiced gourmand that feels both radiant and balanced. Truly delicious, it's a love! 💌 Samples available at Nectar Atelier.

This is the epitome of “Old Money”, its refined, sweet, dense but airy. I definitely get the Angels Share comparison, and The BR540 sweetness. This scent lasts all day on my skin, starts out with a blast of Rhubarb/Vanilla/Cinnamon combination. Rhubarb lasts about 5-10 mins and it stays sugary vanilla cinnamon and musk the remainder of the day. Signature scent worthy for sure!

Everything are worthy,Everything are unworthy, depend on what we feel or think about it.Imperial Peacock has similarity with Angel Share.IP is Less boozy,less spicy,, more airy and fruity.I came to store 3 times before deciding to buy it.And every time I sniffed it,IP is standing out from the bunch and have good SPL.plus the bottle is so beautiful. I absolutely love it

STUNNING FRAGRANCE luckily I don’t get the Heinz smell 🙌🏼 Scent 9.5/10 Longevity 10/10 Silage 9/10 Compliments every single time I wear it. One night I didn’t wear cream 🙈 and the fragrance still stuck to me for 10 hours + even after I washed my hands multiple times. Clothes lasted weeks even after washing. Purchased my fragrance from Harrods

to me, this smells like the yummiest creamiest apple pie with a sprinkle of cinnamon and vanilla icing. it’s so lush. I love wearing it with my other gourmand fragrances and it also does well on its own. in my top 10. lasting power could be better for the price tbh but I don’t mind it since I tend to layer it with stronger fragrances.

frankly i wanna hate it for its price but damn.... I have a small sample of this and its so ridiculously addictive. It's not overpowering at all infact its quite light and fruity but has an underlying deep smoky tonka base. I say this as a positive thing but it reminds me of like opening a box of lush bathbombs.

Gorgeous ! Love this ! It has a smokiness , but I don’t know what note that is. I don’t get a strong rhubarb . Some people say this smells like BR540 but I can’t compare because I haven’t smelt the real thing . But I love the sweetness in this. Not cloying .. well balanced .

I got a sample of this and it was love at first sniff. First thing I did was see how much it will cost me to get it from Jovoy to Australia. The ingredient list does not do it any justice, they left off liquid magic!

I love this scent. The spicy sweetness, a little dry at first. As the scent develops the tart rhubarb comes to the front.

Imagine baccarat rouge but with rhubarb and a touch of angels share

This one is lovely delicious, sweet and addictive!

I have only used this from a sample, but I must say it is just too overhyped and way too overpriced. The bottle is stunning and the whole presentation is very nice. But the juice is just too similar to Baccarat Rouge 540 for its own good. To be fair it is a lighter version of Baccarat Rouge 540. Like a little sister that is a bit more shy and innocent. The only thing that differs really is the use of saffron in BR540 which makes that more potent and more rich and usable all throughout day to night. In imperial peakock there is instead a slight touch of rhubarb and heliotrope at the top of Imperial Peakock which makes it even more airy compared to its big sister... imperial Peackock is to me a daytime scent which is lovely and mostly a sweet and airy form of sugary vanilla with that slight rhubarb note on top that fades like most citrus leaning notes do leaving behind a light sugary vanilla with no earthy ness or any strong bottom really. It is sweet cinnamon and vanilla but the airy kind like if sprinkled like powdered sugar on the skin. I do not detect any woody notes and the almond in here pretty much only enhances the sweetness and the sugary feel of the light synthetic bakery kind of vanilla essence. Don’t get me wrong this is a very nice light and airy vanilla scent. But not very creative or impressive in any way but more ordinary and innocent if that makes sense. The dry down is mostly a whisper of sweet airy sugared vanilla with a touch of cinnamon. Lovely I know, but there are so many easy grabs and dupes for that scent profile... If you have baccarat rouge 540 and own any form or citrusy fruity scent you can dupe this yourself and make it a much stronger iteration compared to the softer whisper of Imperial peacock. If you belong to the people who find baccarat rouge to be weak, then do not get sucked into the hype around this or you will be very disappointed. (If you can hold yourself your wallet will also thank you for it...) 😅. If however you think baccarat rouge 540 is too bold and strong but you like the scent profile but want it to be just a little lighter - then imperial peakock might be it for you. On me I get about 4-6 hours of wear where most of it will be with a light silage closer to my skin. It projects moderately in the beginning. But will not last all day on me. (And on me most scents lasts very long...). Safe for fragrance sensitive environments and does not stick out. But be prepared also for questions wondering if you are wearing br540... For me this is insanely overpriced and even if the bottle is stunning you will first of all not need 125 ml of this fragrance unless it’s the best thing you have ever smelled and it will be the only fragrance you will ever use. 370 € is a lot for this. And it is not like the bottle is pure crystal that will not cost more 100 euros to make...more likely 10 €...😎 And the juice is not that extraordinary to warrant such a price which means you will pay a lot for a fancy looking bottle in the end... ❣️

Due to all the hype around this fragrance, when I first got this sample, I was cautiously excited to try it out... and was disappointed when all I got was a skin scent. A lovely skin scent, mind you, but one that was barely there after maybe ten minutes. As someone who lives in an area with peacocks, I suppose it lived up to its namesake; beautiful, but flighty. The sample was thus condemned to my aftershave pile. This may be blasphemous to some, but when I don't deem a sample as something I'd normally bother wearing, I tend to use it as an aftershave spray to finish it up. And it was while trying this with Imperial Peacock that I finally seemed to have cracked the code. My neck is usually not one of those pulse points that I tend to gravitate towards, but when I tried it with Imperial Peacock after shaving, it just seemed to BLOOM. Or, perhaps in this case, unfurl its tail feathers :P Anyway, for once, I could actually smell the thing- and it wasn't just me! Later that evening, one of my family members was standing a good five feet away from me and complemented the smell. And I agree, it smells heavenly! On me, it is the almond who takes center stage. I've tried a few other almond scents, but I don't think I have found any that have come to rival Imperial Peacock. I'm honestly surprised to say that while I once condemned it to my aftershave pile, I'm now considering buying a full bottle.

Testing a 5 ml decant of this today. Honestly, I find it underwhelming and MASSIVELY overpriced. It wears light and has a grainy texture, probably due to tonka bean and cinnamon. It's primarily a vanilla perfume, with a slightly nutty accent. I don't detect any rhubarb or much heliotrope. It's not sufficiently thick or delicious to be a proper gourmand (what sticky???). I don't find it anywhere close to Angels' Share or Oajan precisely bc of that. I own BR540, and I don't see the similarity. IMO, this scent is its own rank of unremarkable ordinariness. I'd buy this if it's priced like the Alexandre J's designer range. It's worth $100-150. Throw in an extra $20 for the bottle. $310-390 is just astronomical. They really should make a discovery set widely available. Influencers' hype is just wildly unreliable when it comes to European fragrances that you can't readily test.

When I first tried this back in December 2024, I didn’t care for it. All I was getting was the balsamic notes. I had to let this sit for a few months and I tried it again today and it smells lovely. I’m going to layer it with Love Delight for a little more sweetness.

I is a beautiful fragrance perfect composition. Sweet, airy, smooth, and very easy to wear a creamy, refined almond and cinnamon gourmand It is not heavy, not cloying, and feels elegant on the skin. it is also Versatile for formal and evening wear.

I get Angels share vives from this fragrance, I’m not saying it’s a dupe but there is definitely a vibe. I get the cinnamon and tonka but there’s a lot of vanilla. It’s actually a beautiful scent and I quite enjoy it. It definitely projects!

This is a hybryd of BR540 and Angel's Share or rather Khamrah cause it lacks the boozy vibe. Very likeable, but totally redundant. Criminally overpriced.
