Empire

MrVigilante: thats play by play what happend to me wearing this frag. TWICE. ok im from switzerland so we dont care nearly as much about trump and politics as i imagine US folks do, still it is painfuly obvious that many people are walking around with adult size clothing, but kindergarden thinking (yes, the exact same people who gave this frag a 1 or 2 out of 5) a cleaning lady of the office just absolutely ADORED this one on me (and she knows im into parfums, so she always comments on them), then when i told her what it was, she had a face like i raped her daugther:D another day a guy walked up to me, literaly asking me "what is this nice smell", i told him, he goes "no thanks"...like wtf. if it had pmurt written on it: amazing, trump: awful...if thats your level of thinking, turn the bottle upside down. you will live a happy life:D so anyway, talking of the scent itself, it is a very pleasant, and pound-for-pound very well performing frag (lets not forget we are talking about a cheapie here). it is very much a suit wearing , office scenario, and it is a bit on the sweat side, but masterfully avoid being cloying or syrupie, in fact it balances out to be quite a dymanic one that gets you moving and leaves just a touch of sweet behind with your scent trail. if you apply both to the skin and on your shirt, it can last a full shift, and honestly -it might have some copy-catie to it- sure as hell dont have the cheap feel. i could compare it to van cleef's new york, but with this certain sweet touch, or maybe trussardi's black, but with far bigger punch. its my friday scent on my winter office rotation right now and my most complimented one so far...by a long shoot...just saying. (oh i did not once think of trump wearing this, i have no idea how much if at all he was involved in the development, but even if he was, there is a guy who pretty much lived his whole life wearing suits and ties so at least we can say he knows the setting)

Really really excellent. I bought it blindly because I used Trump Success for a number of years as my go-to and I really enjoyed that and got compliments. Alas I ran out and Success is no longer on shelves. This is better than Success in my opinion and that seems to be the general consensus. Success is much more masculine and projects much further with less juice, but is rather sharp up top and synthetic smelling on the dry down with really strong birch, musk, and possibly bug spray. I used to use one spray of Success and people could smell it. I think it's unlikely people can smell Empire a couple feet away even with three sprays and I can barely smell it on myself, but when I do it's addicting. Going about your day you'll catch whiffs of what can only be described as fresh laundry or freshly cleaned upholstery (floral) that would work well just about anywhere. There's a really addicting "high" note that shows up on the drydown and immediately has me trying to catch another whiff. Nothing spicy about it, very creamy and sweet. It's quite a bit muskier close to the skin but still not as dark as Success. Empire is likely much more agreeable to most people and can be used anywhere. If I had to assign them a color it would be a dark gray for Success, and a low saturation light green for Empire and gold for that really addicting note. It is a super unique masculine scent that will surely garner compliments if anyone can smell it on you. It is extremely weak. I'm probably going to buy more before they run out. Apparently my bottle was manufactured in April 2015 and it is no longer produced. edit June 2024 this stuff is in short supply now. Get it while you can, it's going extinct.

I ordered Trump Empire last Fall for shits 'n grins because it was dirt-cheap ($16 and change for a 100ml bottle), the novelty of having a Trump fragrance, and because Hillary offered no fragrance other than to complain how bad wearing a Trump fragrance would be. In other words, she made no scents (get it?) LOL! Anyway, as far as the fragrance goes...a solid pickup for the price and it even came with a faux leather bag, that is probably worth $10-$15 alone, that I occasionally use for day and weekend trips. Okay, Empire a pleasant department store fragrance, but it has a really nice mature and professional edge to it without coming across old man'ish. Envision Carolina Herrera making an office fragrance for The Donald that is based somewhat on Boss Bottled. and that 212 grassy notes..Voila!, you have Trump Empire. I wear this fragrance occasionally (like it but don't love it) and receive more compliments with Empire than I do Dior Sauvage, Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct, Armani Acqua di Gio and Bvlgari Aqva Amara. And it project very well too. I kid you not. In fact, I just had my girlfriend sniff the aforementioned scents and she picked-out Empire as her favorite. Go figure! Anyway, ignore the rage-filled haters who have shamefully never put their stuck-up noses on this fragrance and try it for yourselves. If you're looking for a more mature, professional, office type scent with a bit of that p@$$y-grabbing playfulness tossed in for a little excitement, then give this fragrance a tweet. I feel it was certainly worth the sub-$20 price this scent was going for last year, but not sure if I would pay $30-$40 it is now going for on the discount market. Peace!

This is a GREAT fragrance! A beautiful scent without a doubt! From the time I first bought this and started wearing it, I've had nothing but compliments from almost everyone that smelled this frag. People LOVE it! At least one compliment or positive comment on this one almost daily. Only a few people have turned up their noses when I finally tell them the name. Lol This is what we've become as human beings? This is truly a delightful, inoffensive, wear anywhere kind of scent. Casual, formal, etc. I never knew the name of this one and fell in love before a friend told me it is Trump Empire. Blind buy worthy IMO. It's that nice. It doesn't matter to me about the nonsense some reviewers have posted. People are trying their best to turn this into something because of their hatred for the man who's name is on the bottle. How petty that people would leave a negative review for a fragrance they never wore or even smelled. Doubtful they'd leave an honest review if they actually liked it. This fragrance smells much more expensive than it is. Don't pay attention to the name on the bottle. Pay attention to the very nice smelling scent in the bottle. Scent - 9.0 Sillage - 7.0 Longevity - 7.5 Value - 10.0 UPDATE: 11/1/2020 I have had numerous compliments this past week. "Hey, what is it that you're wearing? It's really good" Then I tell them.. "It's Trump Empire". All but one person asked where they can buy it at. Several women in their 20s and 30s in our office said they love it! Any age will enjoy this fragrance.

Definitely a Floral Musk. I think fragrances in this category can usually be used in all settings quite well. Very masculine and sweet, each time I smell it I always want to get closer to smell it, and I'M the one wearing it, haha. Would say it smells mature rather than young, but only in the way that it would make someone smell mature, rather than a young person couldn't wear it. The green apple is definitely present, but it nor the other "fresh" notes make it smell like a bath or something, thanks to the musk. Not to say it doesn't smell clean. Now it doesn't smell leathery, keep this in mind. But it reminds me of a nice leather chair. That sort of vibe. It smells like taking someone home at 2 AM, into a dim orange-lit room. Very good. Haven't met anyone who dislikes it. -update- Revisiting this guy, cause I smelled it again tonight and just realized how much I love it. I already have a bottle, but I'm ordering another cause I know I'm gonna want it. It's so sweet and in the most masculine, sexy way (I actually REALLY dislike sweet mens fragrances almost every time, I hate Dior Homme Intense, but this one is masterfully done). When I wear this, people adore it.
