Imperium X

Received Imperium X (IMX) today after a 3 week wait delivery from the UAE to Australia. To me IMX is a juiced up version of Jo Malone - Cypress and Grapevine, adding pineapple, citruses, tobacco and leather. I get the comparison to Aventus absolu but it doesn’t smell exactly like it. A modern twist on the classic “barber shop” fougere fragrance. It’s an easy every day wear suitable for men aged 30+. Office friendly Best way to explain IMX is the a toned down Aventus absolu x punchy cypress and grapevine It’s a likeable scent nothing outstanding. I can’t compare to APEX as I haven’t smelt it. *UPDATE* So I wore IMX today to work went abit heavy on the sprays with 8. Drove to the petrol station before work and had a compliment from a complete stranger. A female was stood a few feet away from me and said out loud “someone’s cologne smells really nice” she then pointed at me and said “I think it’s yours”, slightly embarrassed I said “thank you”.. I thought to myself walking back to my car hmmm maybe this is a good fragrance after all!! Got home from work after a 12hr shift and my wife says “I can smell your perfume it smells really nice” I asked is it strong? She said I can smell it from here (3 feet away) Overall very surprised with the performance, I was completely nose blind to it by the time i arrived at work and couldn’t smell it at all thinking it was poor.. I was wrong. I must have been smelling good all day WINNING

Mine just arrived two days ago. As usual, I spritzed some, then, will leave it aside to mature for a month, at least. But, just from the 10 spritzes, I could easily smell how great a fragrance this is, especially, given the miniscule price. Obviously, I can't speak to the longevity or the sillage yet, but, the richness of what I picked up led me to believe that this will be both long-lasting & have good sillage. On a side note: does anyone else find strong similarity between this & Atralia's Absolute Noir? I damn near immediately felt like I was smelling the watermelon from that one, but, don't see it listed amongst the accords. Whether or not, I very much enjoy my Absolute Noir, so, I have zero doubts that I'll get much enjoyment & compliments from wearing Imperium X, as well 🔥🤎 Update: Well, I can certainly say that this ain't Absolute Noir, in the least. I don't know what I was detecting at the time, but, now that I've had opportunity to enjoy this banger a bit, I can truly assert that it has its own thing going on, and, it is an extremely attractive, mass-appealing fragrance, that I'm very happy to have in my repertoire.

WOW! This is great stuff! So this is a throwback to the 80's or 90's or maybe a little of both. Definitely all man too. I wish it lasted a little longer and projected a little more however it's not bad at all in either department. So it does have similarities to some of the fragrances listed in the reminds me of section. It definitely smells like a modernized version of Polo. It also has some Drakkar Noir going on, it also has some Cool Water or other green fougere vibes too. Maybe even some Aventus type stuff going on too. So it is definitely green, masculine, and it gives off fougere vibes for sure. Someone mentioned Jo Malone Cypress and Grapevine and I can totally smell that. So I can go two different ways on this I can either say it's a lighter more modern fresher Polo, or I could say it's like Jo Malone Cypress and Grapevine if it were made in the 80's. It's an amazing fragrance in my opinion.

Smells very similar to Apex. It's not the same level of quality, but this is one of the best clone fragrances I own. I went thru half a bottle very quickly. I love this stuff. I also own DUA Predator. This is very similar, but this is actually better, the opening is more vibrant. You get the pineapple in this one way more. Apex Parfum is a 10/10 GOATed fragrance - it has nuances and quality that no clone will capture.

Fantastic. It does smell and feel synthetic, but it does smell really good. Very green, woody and long lasting. Does remind you of polo green but more wearable. Nice pine note. Performance is okay. Masculine. Buy this if you like older masculine fragrances
