Sushi Imperiale Bois 1920 for women and men

Wowzers!Sillage like a muthapucker! This is dope i luv the apple pie like scent when you first spray it to skin then the middle and base notes smooth it all together.VETTY VETTY GOOD!!Plus it last forever.8+hrs

Doc Elly, you just took the words out of my mouth :) Apple pie and a gentleman's shaving foam it is.
However, I do get the whole sushi ordeal with it too. There is (to my nose) this absolutely huge boozy amber note, a golden, transparent whiskey-like thing that is at once sweet, salty and somehow oily. It actually is somewhat reminiscent of nori and rice.

Alas, as much as I love the apple pie, I just can't get round the amber. I mean, I like the "idea" of amber if you know what I mean. Especially this particular type of high quality amber. Sweet.. savory... plush... what's not to love? But the darn thing triggers a physical reaction in my body, namely nausea and headache. Hard as I try not to think about it, it still gets to me. So no sushi for this gal. Too bad, as it's a strangely beautiful thing. Haunting would be the correct word, I believe.

At first this smells like a fougere made with a huge dose of tonka, but soon it takes on a light, almost metallic floral note. Within a couple of minutes it morphs into a spicy, fruity, apple pie scent that’s not overly sweet, and then just stays that way. It’s the filling of the pie without the crust, just fruit and spices, mainly cinnamon, nutmeg, and a sugary sauce. It’s a pleasant quasi-gourmand scent that eventually dries down to a nutmeg-tonka combination that reminds me of a men’s shaving product. Sillage is considerable, and it lasts at least 6-8 hours.

I have no idea what connection there is with sushi, imperial or from the little shop around the corner, and my cursory internet research doesn’t reveal any explanation. The bottom line is that Sushi Imperiale is a spicy, fruity, dessert scent with some incongruous masculine touches, one that's a little too foody for my taste.

Leans masculine right at the top with fresh bergamot, vetiver and pepper. Dry and refreshing, but soon becomes warmer moving toward the middle of the gender scale.

Cinnamon brings in a feeling of comfort with a few petals of soft flowers and earthy anise.

Missing from the notes is Madagascar vanilla which is beautifully present without being heady at all, just pure joy with a woody warmth and earthy spice finish.

Very wearable and great quality, everything about it is appealing except the price. For me to pay that much, I'd want something a little more distinct.

Warm, cudly, but somehow fresh. It has most amazing quality, the sillage and longelivity is beyond hopes :)
At the opening I can detect "black tea" F_A already mentioned, but the most noticable note for me is anise, which I greatly love - it's fresh and sweet. There are bits of cinnamon and pepper spicing things up here. At this point the scent becomes a little bit masculine, but not too much.
From the flowers I feel only rose which here is not dominant and just gives feminine and elegant twist to the all scent.
What I like is that this, even being an oriental, isn't heady and "too much" as it sometimes happens. It's just extremely wonderful, warm and enjoyable without being "in your face". I'm impressed as it's very easy to wear and works very well with my chemistry.
And I must say - this is an extremely sexy perfume as well, it has this sensual quality that it's hard to resist sniffing my wrist all the time.
DO TRY! :) You won't be dissapointed.

Wonderful scent! The beginning reminds me a bit of SL "Five o'clock au gingembre", but it's lighter. And it's a lot older. Lovely, warm, delicious.

Love at first spray!!

When I first spray this I get an irresistible wave of citrus and freshness.

Next I get the floral which is done to perfection!! The rose/jasmine blend brings out the best in each imo and is done in a way that you can identify the floral without it being cloying or ever taking over in the blend.

Then comes the spice and apple, at this point I think I had a full on scentgasm. It does smell a bit like apple cider (fine by me).

It progresses to the warm woody, still slightly spicy base.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

Not very spicy, hardly oriental, because it's so light almost unisex. Aromatic, with light citrus and anice notes. Very special and delicious!

first up i get vetiver, pepper & lemon. i can see how black tea and lemon could be felt... maybe a little patchouli peeking through. very interesting and unusual. a little nutmeg starts to peer out, then the sandalwood becomes more pronounced... vaguely some cinnamon.

have reapplied now...

mmm... as above... just enjoying the unisex flavor of this fragrance without being too loyal to either side, just very well balanced and happily sitting on the fence. if you like a citrusy, oriental spicy unisex fragrance, as a woman i can totally appreciate this on a woman, as much as i can on a man.

yum. sample it if u can (luckyscent) ;)

I love the ingredients in this scent and it sounds divine but can't get my head around it's name - "Sushi" because it means raw fish. Can anyone explain if this word has an alternate meaning?

This stuff is INTENSE. It so strong and concentrated that it still smells after 8 hours and a shower. Among all the people I know, I have very acidic skin and nothing seems to last long enough on me. Believe me, this thing LASTS.

Finding niche perfume where I live is pretty difficult. I ordered Sushi Imperiale without trying it, and for a really banal reason and without even looking at the notes, but I just liked the name so much! Only after ordering did I start getting worried, since this is not really a kind of perfume I would wear (not being a fan of citrus notes). However, once the bottle arrived, I was nearly ecstatic, it was probably the best “pig in a poke” one could ever get. I have sprayed on my wrist the other morning and could not help sniffing it throughout the whole day.
Sushi Imperiale is a wonderful unisex fragrance. At first it smelled more masculine and fresh, very spicy and reminded me of my father's cologne, but there is something so warm about it at the same time. The combination of nutmeg, cinnamon and lemon won my love for this perfume and I don't think I will be able to part with it during next months.

Very nice freshly warm fragrance. For my nose it smells like a strong black tea with lemon and black peppers (yes you read right!), and the sweetness of anise. It is somehow energising, very nice fragrance for everyday use, and it holds really long on skin:)
