The perfume was developed in cooperation with Kraft International Marketing Company, which has 25 years of experience of licensing and distribution and a significant success in perfume industry. The great COURVOISIER® Cognac introduced L’edition Imperiale, named after one of their top brandies. The fragrance, described as woody-oriental, was presented in October 2006 at the International Duty Free Show in Cannes. It "targets 25-35 year old males who are ambitious, determined and desire to succeed".
The goal is to achieve the quality that will be in line the years of tradition in cognac production, and the wish of the company is that this bottle becomes a symbol of prestige and power. The perfume is inspired by the time of Napoleon’s reign, when people had more sense of honor, pride, and chivalry, and therefore, the fragrance is modern and yet nostalgic. The bottle was designed in France. The silver stopper is shaped in a form of Napoleon’s plume.
The fragrance is comfortable, light and warm, but the most important is that it foreshadows refined enjoyment, good mood and self-confidence. The creators of the perfume tried to capture that unique feeling of overwhelming joy provided by the top-class brandy.
The top notes open like wafts of mild and fresh mandarin, cardamom, winy tagette and coriander. Middle notes include Atlas cedar wood, smoked tea, royal calla lily and nostalgic violet, while the base contains exotic vetiver, fir balsam, leather nuance and warm amber.
The nose behind this fragrance is Alexis Dadier.

If you want a similar smell albeit without the boozy opening then you cant go wrong with Anvers by Ulrich Lang.Unfortunately both are high priced and not readily available.
Got the edp of this and it lasts all day.this will be best on a cold day or evening but definitely not in the scorching heat.
I find it dry,herbal,slightly resinous and mellowed hints of amber and cedar and definitely for a mature wearer.If you are into very sweet fragrances then this is not for you.the curious thing with this is although the notes listed dont include cognac/brandy,you still get a boozy opening that makes you keep checking if have misread the notes.
I am not wowed as I had smelled similar in Anvers otherwise I rank it among the most challenging scents in my wardrobe.
top marks for bottle design.makes me think of Escada pour homme
I did have a smal sample and I fel in love with this scent.
Warm and sexy and a bit sweet on some skins.
my kids liked it better on me than my husband.
It has a long lasting smell and the longer it's on your skin the better it gets.
I would reccomend this to a friend, but is't not easy to obtain here in the Netherlands and very pricy.
We need its shampoo, body oil, soap, deodorant, spray and after shave to intensify its longevity as it must be, although it's eau de parfum.
By the way, it performs better in cold weather and not a good idea for outdoor time; only indoor and not crowded places. Don't be in front of wind sources, fans, chillers, A/C. Keep it in calm and it lasts more.
Don't wear it without suit and bowtie! It deserves highly luxury dress!
Although doesn't smell niche, does it luxuriously and high priced.
A classic, dark, mature and mysterious fragrance. I think it is a cross between M7 by YSL and Ambre by Baldessarini. It starts with strong woody/spicy notes then after few minutes Smoky apple and Pine tobacco notes come in action then dries down into soft floral/musky fragrance. Bottle and packaging is awesome.
Longevity and silage of EDP is good while that of EDT is poor. Very good for formal wear and for winter nights/evenings.
I give it 8 out of 10.
It's liquid gold in a bottle!
The scent is bitterer and sharper version of Gucci pour homme; highly sexxxy and overwhelming, rich and powerful and also the bottle is designed royalty. It deserves it's name: L’edition Imperiale!
It's a VIP perfume proper for nights and ceremonial properties like casinos. It's the smell of self-confidence, the smell of prosperous man, matured and highly important.
It opens dark, smoky, bitter and warmly herbal, after a while the reality comes up! It becomes something you can't neglect. More dark and more matured just like a top rated xo cognac! You attract the most beautiful and elegant women in the world. Its dry down is still bitter and sweet as it initiates. The spicy woodsy base makes it a Luxury high level modern and thriving perfume.
7/10 for longevity
9/10 for sillage
10/10 for scent
smell of elegance and welfare life
بسیار خوشبو و کلاسیک و نادر که همانند آن را در ادکلنهای دیگر نمیتوانید پیدا نمایید
گرم خاص، پر انرژی،
i would like to thanks this company for this uniqe product, nd best of luck ,nice picter jeca,,
This fragrance illustrates why people like Andy Tauer are so important. It's actually a pretty good composition, but the ingredient quality drags this down in the direction of mundane drugstore fragrances. There are unpleasant and clearly unintended off-notes here, metallic and oniony - layering this onto an Axe (Lynx) deodorant shouldn't be a problem. Mind you, it's still fair, and obviously reasonably popular, but to me it is mainly a terrible waste of potential. Spray this on your left and L'Air du Désert Marocain on your right arm. Study and learn what is wrong in the mainstream perfumery business. God only knows why the Beam corporation, who owns Courvoisier, chose a no-name company like Kraft, known on the web only for a trashy discount fragrance named Caution, to head this prestige project. Then again, the target group seems to be the "pass the Courvoisier crowd" which prefers to focus on facades, rather than substance. The Empire-style bottle is magnificent, and makes Tauer's flacons look cheap and amateurish. However, qwhen it comes to the juice, it's exaclty the reverse. 50ml of L'Air are $90, 75 ml of L'Edition Imperiale are $110. Guess which one is way overpriced?
THIS SCENT SCREAMS ELEGANCE! It smells so mature and refined.
The rich, but not overpowering aroma of smooth tobacco and cognac, a leather bound book, warm woods and amber. You can imagine yourself in the library of a grand, stately home, sipping what else? Cognac!
The story behind it was that they wanted to create a prestige scent that smelled comforting. They have definitely set out and accomplished that.
The bottle is nostalgic and very classy. Reminds me of the original Aramis bottle and Safari. This scent is an Eau de Parfum.
For a while it was exclusive to the Bergdorf's boutiques I believe, but I managed to buy it blind off an online discount fragrance website. Good thing because it was rather pricey. I'm glad, after 2 years since its launch, I finally get to own a bottle.
It smells rich :-) A spicy and woody scent with a floral touch. Cognac is in the center, warm, sexy and very comforting. It is better on men's skin, I've tried it on mine and it was too tender.
