Eau de Cologne Imperiale Fragrance Reviews

So lemony refreshing, not too florally for a guy, ideally for summer but who cares the season, I just apply it as many times as I want. As I have the bottle with a glass stopper, decanted some into a small spray to the office, to lift me up when tired.

Eau de Cologne Imperiale is somewhat boozy, in a mojito sort of way. Oddly enough it's my fragrance of choice when I'm hungover. From mojitos. Works like magic.

It may not last more than 2 or 3 hours, but Eau de Cologne Imperiale is as good as it gets when it comes to Eau de Cologne. It's clean, refreshing, and therapeutic as should be. It's the best Eau de Cologne out there, and when it poops out, just reapply and enjoy it again and again.....

This was the oldest product Guerlain had on the market that was unchanged since the 1850s! It was commissioned for Empress Josephine to relieve her migraines and worked. Aspirin had been invented yet, so perfume was medicine.

With the aromatherapy properties of citrus, lavender and neroli, one can see why it did. Its cool one down on hot days. Its last about 15 minutes...

The "bee bottle" sits beautifully on a vanity and during the Belle Epoche was a status symbol. How times have changed...

This is a clear example of how simplicity is the key for success.The neroli and citrus combination makes it ideal for summer. Easy to wear and easier to love.

This IS a scent for men and women too ,it's 2010 after all. As far as I know both sexes like to feel fresh and a classic cologne can be worn by both. This one is just a bit superior ,well worth the price.

This refreshing cologne is one of my all-time favourites. It is truly a Guerlain classic as the well-balanced blend of lemon verbena, cedar, neroli and rosemary fuses into a light bouquet, each enhancing the other. It is neither feminine nor masculine, yet asserts itself in its calmness and serenity. It is a peek into a palace herb garden from a perch in the citrus orchard while people go about their age-old task of keeping everything in order.

Wonderful in the morning, after a rain shower, or on your handkerchief on your pillow.

I really love this cologne. Its fresh, clean and aromatic, giving you a feeling of wellbeing. The fact that it was made in 1860 is amazing, there is nothing old lady about this fragrance. I find it very refreshing, and when you're feeling tired and hot, it really does revitalise you. A great cologne that has stood the test of time.

A fresh, clean and calming fragrance. Perfect for a hot summer day. It does not last long but that gives me more reason to spray it more. I find it personally uplifting and it does add a sense of calmness.

It seems that today Chanel, Dior and even Max Mara are returning to summer notes like this. So sophisticated, fresh and aristocratic! Hundred years ago, I would definitely wear this beautiful citrus fragrance.Good feeling of freshness and purity in the hot summer day.
Tres chic, this simple vintage bottle!

Eau de Cologne Impériale is a Cologne.
It is unisex.
It does not last long because it is a cologne.
I don't understand the idea about male or female fragrances.
Jicky for example is classified as a female fragrance, but why do so many man wear it?
You have to wear what you like, not if it is a male or female fragrance.

Eau de cologne Impériale was made for Empress Eugénie with the specific question that it would relief her migrains.

I use this cologne a lot, and I must admit that it has a positive effect on headaches. It is a very refreshing and at the same time calming cologne. A masterpiece, that you can use at an age, any time.

Greetings,
The comments on Imperiale are very interesting to me. I did not know that it was designed for women. I have been wearing it for over a decade. (A summer frag to be sure, and equally sure: to be applied more than once. No sillage, no longevity. But that's OK: any changes and it wouldn't be Imperiale.)Perhaps what I've read is true: genders are assigned for men so that they are more accepting of the idea of (a given) fragrance. And now I have to decide whether I could wear the Eau de Cedrat.
cheers!

No, it's not a scent for men although men could probably wear it. It's a wonderful fresh scent although subtle and not long-lasting. A good one though I think.

Wrong information, this is not a scent for men. This perfume was created by Pierre-Francois-Pascal Guerlain for the Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III. It is very citrus-like, with the bright note of bergamot. The fragrance itself is very "near to skin" and it doesn't stay long.
