Imperial Vanilla

I was really excited to get this when I saw a review for this talking about how good it was and how nice of a vanilla it was. I won’t lie, was disappointed when I got it, sprayed it, and found it was basically Vanilla 28 in a different bottle. Don’t get me wrong, though, Vanilla 28 is one of my favorite perfumes, but I wasnt expecting this to smell like Vanilla 28, especially since there is no patchouli listed in the notes for this fragrance but it’s definitely there and prominent in the opening just like with Vanilla 28. After trying V28 and this one side by side, I do find that this is just a tad sweeter than Vanilla 28 and it may project more, but do you need this one if you already have Vanilla 28? No, definitely not. If you’re trying to decide between the two, though, I think I would choose this one. I’m wearing Imperial Vanilla on one arm and Vanilla 28 on the other. After an hour, they’re still nearly identical but I’d say Imperial Vanilla is still smelling a lot stronger and projecting more than the Vanilla 28. If you love V28 but struggle with the longevity, you may love this one more. A couple notes from my nose. I don’t detect any rose at all, which I am happy about. I definitely am getting patchouli in the opening, just like with Vanilla 28. Shes beautiful and sophisticated. She’s sweet, she’s vanilla, she’s sexy. If you hate V28, I definitely would not blind buy this because they’re nearly identical. Overall, I’ll keep both, because I do love it.

Majouri’s Imperial Vanilla is a masterpiece — and no one can convince me otherwise. On my skin, it’s a dark, almost smoky vanilla: hypnotic, sensual, and incredibly refined. It feels more mature and multidimensional than most of my other vanillas, yet remains effortlessly elegant. There’s sweetness, but it’s never syrupy or cloying — instead, it’s deep, warm, and slightly spicy. At first, I was surprised to notice a strong patchouli note that made the opening feel a bit chaotic. Patchouli isn’t listed in the notes and it’s not usually my favorite, but after about two hours it faded into the background, leaving a smooth and enveloping vanilla. Over time, the patchouli settled beautifully and now balances the fragrance perfectly. I don’t detect rose or jasmine at all. Longevity is excellent — easily over 8 hours on my skin and much longer on clothes. It layers beautifully with almost any perfume, adding warmth and softness. Completely unisex in my opinion, Imperial Vanilla is simply sophistication bottled. I think it works best during the colder months. Would not recommend blind buying this, but you should definitely give this one a shot, if you’re looking for a more sophisticated vanilla! This one will always be in my collection for sure.

Finally! A vanilla to make you go weak in the knees, without breaking the bank! Price to quality, this is a 10/10 for me. I see many comparisons to Kayali Vanilla 28, and I would have to strongly disagree. Vanilla 28 is high pitched and musky, and leans more gourmand whereas Vanilla Imperial is smoother, rich and ventures more into an aromatic vanilla territory. The caramel note beneath the florals is so buttery and smooth, so much so that it can almost be mistaken for a creamy orris butter note. Though note listed in the notes, there is definitely a friendly, inoffensive resin/balsam accord lingering in the background which pulls this even closer to the likes of Guerlain SDV, Byredo Vanille Antique, Arabian Oud Tarteel Silver, or Coty Encore un Fois. If you love the aforementioned, then this needs to be on your shelves.

Absolutely divine!! I've had this now for maybe 2 months (?) and I'm almost finished my bottle because all I want to do is smell this everywhere. My blanket, my clothes, etc. This is OPULENCE in a bottle. Pure vanilla and brown sugar. I get none of the other notes. I agree that this does smell like Choo Vanilla Love but that is a whisper compared to this one. It also smells like Kayali Vanilla 28 without the patch and 10x stronger. I just ordered another bottle. This will ALWAYS be in my collection as long as I can obtain it. Love. 10/10. I love to layer this with Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli. Also this layers beautifully with Ledda Bourbon Brulee. This one also amps up the vanilla in Kheir 7 Minutes which is another 🔥 10/10 perfume. If you love vanilla, this is a no brainer. Just get it.

Very underrated vanilla floral perfume. I thought it’s be like roses vanilla but the vanilla on this perfume is sweeter. Kind of has the same vibe as Kay Ali vanilla perfume but this is more floral. The roses on this perfume is very light as first I wasn’t sure what floral note was on this perfume, but I do get floral note. It gives this perfume an airy vibe. The projection and longevity is great it last all day. I think this perfume would be a great perfume for all age types as long as like floral and vanilla notes.
