Imperia

Absolute Gem!!! This was one of my first "inspo" fragrances. At first having not tried anything like what it's inspired by I was pretty stunned by th potency.At first it did have this sort of smoky petrol smell that really threw me off being a newbie to fragrance collecting. In the past all I've ever had were frags like o.g. Boss Man edt, Acqua Di Gio edt when it was the original formulation and pretty much a perfect fragrance. I also went through quite a bit of Nautica Voyage like everyone else. At the time about 2 years ago I had never tried any middle eastern fragrances so I was kind of apprehensive to blind buy, but I'll say that Neeb at Aromatix was 100% correct in hyping this one up. For a while I let my bottle sit in my dresser and I'd spray it here and there. Suddenly one day I decided to put it on skin and my God! it turned into this amazing smoky, sweet and powerful yet smooth juice. Flashforward to June 2025 and I now have 160 frags and countless samples and decants. In comparison to Imperia I have Armaf CDNI Man edp, Afnan SNOI, Montblanc Explorer, CDNI Man edt decant, MB Select Night decant, Hawas Black, Dumont Nitro Black decant, CDN Precieux One,English Laundry London. Although I'd say CDNI Man Edp may be the best overall, I'd still say for the price point and it not being as loud, and punchy that Rayhaan Imperia is my favorite of the bunch.

**Rayhaan Imperia Review** Rayhaan Imperia is an inspired version of Creed Aventus—and it comes impressively close. While I don’t own the original, I’ve smelled Aventus enough times to confidently say this is a very convincing alternative. The opening delivers a bright bergamot and apple note with that recognizable birchy smokiness. There's not much of a transition in the scent profile for now (maybe after maceration), but I’ve already made it my daily signature, so I haven’t let it rest. I mainly bought it for office and occasional gym use, and at nearly half the price of Club de Nuit Intense Man (CDNIM), it's a smart choice for daily wear. While CDNIM might offer a bit more longevity, Imperia holds its own well, especially considering the price. Performance: -Scent Profile: 9/10 – Mass appealing and versatile. A must-have type of scent. -Longevity: 4–6 hours in controlled environments; potentially longer post-maceration. -Projection/Sillage: Strong for the first hour, then moderate. Noticeable within arm’s reach.

Absolutely sensational! For that price, what more can you expect? Smells great , smells like Aventus we all love. I wear this to the office once in a while and usually get at least 1 compliment. I have a tough crowd at office and compliments are very hard to come by. And they are not the usual “Oh, you smell good,” type compliments. They are more like, “Wow, what a great perfume! What are you wearing?” type ones (Most of my office buddies don’t know Aventus so.. ). Yes! An absolute banger by Rayhaan. Probably my second favorite by them, after Lion.It lasts a good 5-6 hours in humid conditions guys. Just blind buy it !

This one's my favorite. Price is within my budget as well. Smells amazing. This is a perfect aventus dupe. I rarely get complicated on my perfume but when I wear this one people ask me about which perfume I'm wearing and that's the best part for me. I will be buying it again.

Smells like creed like close but not 99% close. Got this version and the intense version. Tip: get the intense version if you want a more longer longevity and a nuclear sillage.
