FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Vintage Empire For Men 0602 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Millesime Imperial.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Millesime Imperial's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $83 per 100ml it costs 83% less than Millesime Imperial — the 10th cheapest of 16 twins we can price.
