The review
Strong contender. That is where Imperial Cologne lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Le Gemme Empyr.
Montagne Parfums sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Gemme Empyr's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as a cologne, a lighter concentration than most originals.
At $50 it costs 87% less than Le Gemme Empyr.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: ginger up top, ginger heart extract and sea salt in the middle, sandalwood and labdanum underneath — the shape of Bvlgari Le Gemme Empyr.
Top
- ginger
Heart
- ginger heart extract
- sea salt
Base
- sandalwood
- labdanum
Sparkling ginger over creamy sandalwood with a saline shimmer; bright and warm at the same time.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
