The review

Worth a try. That is where Imperial Blue lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Eros.

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

At $28 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Eros — the cheapest of 20 twins we can price.

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 Riiffs 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: mint, green apple and lemon up top, Tonka Bean, geranium and Ambroxan in the middle, vanilla, vetiver and cedar underneath — the shape of Versace Eros.

Top

  • mint
  • green apple
  • lemon

Heart

  • Tonka Bean
  • geranium
  • Ambroxan

Base

  • vanilla
  • vetiver
  • cedar
For the young and the bold. Icy mint and green apple flash over tonka and vanilla — loud, magnetic, unapologetically fun.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
