Black Soul Imperial

Second review. It can't be overstated how incredibly underrated this fragrance is. I rank this higher than most designer fragrances and some niche. This is so unique and high quality. If you're a fan of dark, sweet/spicy and strong fragrances, GET THIS. IT'S ONLY $20. The progression of this fragrance is really interesting and non-linear. Crazy stuff for a $20 fragrance. First spray is this sharp and spicy chocolate cherry craziness that hangs around for 3 hours or so. It almost has a cherry coke smell to it but more gourmand. Coffee is present, but mostly in the drydown. I don't get a great deal of leather, though I'm sure it's subtly adding to the scent in general On my skin, this goes for 24 hours. 8 hours of very clear performance. STRONG but not too strong. Bottle is also one of my favorites. It truly shows how much effort Ted Lapidus put into this fragrance, I don't understand how they sell it for so cheap. The matte black skin is great to hold. Fantastic design and very good sprayer. Lid is better than most lids on the market. This is a fragrance that is easily associated with certain memories due to its uniqueness and strength. I spray this and I'm reminded of a specific day, walking the streets of Melbourne on a freezing cold foggy winter day. I enjoy this so much. If it ever got discontinued, I'd buy 5 bottles.

Man I was about to write a scathing review on here going at everyone who said this stuff was good, but after allowing myself some time for this stuff to transform, I had to drink some shut up juice. It opened up like a bubblegum type of obnoxious Paco Rabanne Million scent and I’ve worn that stuff so much long ago that I got sick of it. It then starts to become a little darker, then the mint hits you and come across almost like an Iris. Then the real mind fuck kicks in. What you’re left with is an aromatic amber/leathery type of scent that reminds me of stronger with you by Armani. Crisis averted, this stuff is a winner. Either my nose isn’t experienced enough or there’s been a reformulation but I never once got the hint of coffee. Still though, no regrets for my blind buy. Impressions- A true pyramid transformer.

Weirdest perfume i ve smelled for sure.I dont understand what im smelling and i definetely dont pickup any of the notes listed...All i smell is clothing softener with a bit of rive gauche some powder and some spices.The smell is definetely unique and very mysterious.its among the best perfumes i ve tried.Its like a very warm aristocratic scent suitable mostly for a rich gentleman. This one is a hidden gem for sure,thank god,as not too many people are aware of this perfume.This one gained a spot on my top list. Projection and longetivity are among the best i have in my collection.It projects for 2 meters for an hour and longetivity is 8 hours solid on my skin. Overall its the first time a frag confuses me that much as i cant define what im smelling here maybe i need some time more with it but oh god its so mysterious and awsome ^^ Score: 9/10 Ps: I get some similarities with rochas man

this reminds me of james bond movies. classy very classy with dim lights. almost sweet mentol not like toothpaste but it almost gets plasticy and the leather with it every thing is at it limits here, the minty plasticy vibe is right where it almost not good so its butiful THIS IS INDEED A MASTER PIECE. a mature scent at first 5 minutes ,then comes that 1 million sweat pierce through its 1m in strength but not that smell. and it makes me very happy that its there becouse it lights the whole composition up it takes an old school to new school,its a strong note of plum or grapes very juicy and very high quality ,not sintethic for a second. Its now 9 hour and its a skin scent but is a strong skin scent , I get it as grapes,its grapes not plumes. and it is a butiful parfum it is a one million in tox as the reviews befor me said but....GIVE IT ITS 5 MINUTE! VERY WELL RECOMENDED ENJOY

Beautifully packaged! Love the matt black bottle with glorious gold accents and the tin too. This is so much better than the basic Black Soul mainly because of its superior performance. I usually get 6 or more hours with decent sillage. I think it's mainly a versatile cold weather fragrance, and I've been using it throughout December as its vibe suits the festive run-up, and Christmas itself, perfectly. I get a darkish-sweet-spicy-oriental fragrance with prominent amber, and a smell reminiscent of burnt currants that I assume is the coffee. It does have a slightly cheap aura to it with blob-like accords rather than individually defined notes, much like for example One Man Show Gold Edition. Nevertheless, it's still very good and a no-brainer to get at its bargain price of around £20 in the UK for the 100ml bottle. Recommended!
