Imperia by Rowan Row

So this one came on sale at a ridiculous price - so I decided to go for a sneaky blind-buy. (As I always do - I need help) The notes intrigued me, and the lack of reviews made it a risky one. However - you can't dislike this one. To sum it up short: it smells like Roja's Elysium (The Parfum Cologne) with a bit more of a herbal touch. So it feels a little "less blue" in a way, but at the same time it has "blue elements" to it. It's simply put an extremely pleasant fragrance that's impossible to dislike. If you can get it on the cheap, and you enjoy the style of Roja's Elysium - It's a no-brainer. Lasts me a full day at work, without being intrusive.

Sleepy me managed to slop my decant on my office chair. A good ~2ml, making me think that the vinegar and fairy liquid would need deployed. Fortunately, this is apparently a 'barely there' fragrance so short lived pain. I picked up 8ml very cheap - and now I have a lightly scented room for my efforts. Though probably won't even last the day! Not sure what it is but the performance is dreadful - bad batch or just the nature of the scent. Starts with decent projection and trail, still fairly intimate but lingers in the air. The lasting power caps at a couple hours tops. Just a light skin scent thereafter. It is winter, but in my warm room I'd have expected more - maybe one for the hottest environments. Scent wise, it is really clean and fresh. First spray is pure alcohol but it quickly dries to something lightly floral, citric and a little mossy. No sweetness, just dry and crisp - very clean spa smell or fabric softener. Not super green, but green could be a descriptor. It's inoffensive and pleasant, kind of scent no one can dislike. Very much a summer month fragrance. 6.5/10 - poor performance is a sadly deal breaker, however I think this would make for a good layer or very light scent that is acceptable for even the gym. Not one to pick up at full price myself but worth trying.

Just tried a decant of this yesterday and from start to finish I could barely pick up the scent at all. The weather was warm, I was warm and that usually boosts a scents performance for me but this one is soooooo soft you can barely smell it. There was some citruses and a little amber but pretty quickly gave up and moved on to something else with a bit more clout. Sorry, I'm sure this a very well crafted scent with high quality ingredients but I really couldn't get anything from this at all. Disappointing coz the note list is usually right up my street.

such a clean office scent ! fresh and green, aromatic. Easily could make a gentleman's scent. I got mine from debenhams, hardly last 1 hour on my skin. I am not sure if it is a bad batch or a replicate

I got this as a decant of 1ml as a tester gift 'cause i bought another fragrance. i have the same opinion as @NiceNiffs spryed on a paper, immediately got an alcohol smell. no fragrance present there until something like 2 minutes later. The perfume to my nose is very floral and subtle.
