Majesty can also be female
"Le Roi Empereur" from the Collection Imperiale of the traditional house Rancé is not quite wrongly classified as pure men's fragrance.
He is welcome to stay that way, but I made the experience that this royal emperor also likes to cross borders: female skin seems to be very likeable to him.
Napoleon was immoderate at the conquest of territory and let himself be crowned not only Emperor of the French, but also King of Italy: it is not known to me whether he "lent a hand himself" at the coronation in Milan.
But he was not only charming towards women, as well; as is well known, he also took himself in this field, which just lured him: he just wanted to be a big guy in every respect!
Rancé has dressed many sovereigns in scented form in his Collection Imperiale. And so there is no getting around this dazzling figure of world history.
"Le Roi Empereur" is a very noble combination, which is very classy and doesn't let me get bored with scents.
As you know, I'm always a stranger to aniseed. But here, hand in hand with lavender (very nice herbaceous-spicy!) and the lovely orange blossom, its aroma remains a little behind the intensity I always find slightly annoying: a pleasantly spiced prelude is created, which arouses the anticipation of further fragrance developments.
Cardamom and iris - pleasingly little powdery, this lady! (now wigs were also abolished before this empire) - remain on the spice side, whereas the ripe, dark fragrant rose and the no less aromatic violet underline the first delicate chord of the orange blossoms and then also clearly strengthen them; later, unfortunately, also push a little into the background.
A good trace of cinnamon and musk is sprinkled over the whole, before leather and cedar give the hitherto slightly flowery spice a masculine touch.
This also explains the clear classification as men's fragrance.
Probably at the time this creation was created, females still had to smell delicate and fine, possibly sensual and enticing; but "real guys" came in leather and cedar if they didn't rattle their sabres and smell like horse stables.
However, Amber finally crowns the fragrance: His Majesty loved glittering gold and jewellery.
I don't even know anymore who I owe this smell sample to, but I felt very comfortable with his K and K sovereignty.
Unfortunately, the atomizer is now empty; it may "spray" its last charm between the handbags (rather evaporate). There it is in good company.
The durability is not so enormous with this skilful dosage of all fragrances; but on the leather/cedar basis also this flowery-spicy breath remains quite long on my skin.
Five to six hours always came together - maybe love His Majesty "Fish Blood"!
The farewell of this fragrance work of art was always very polite: a quiet retreat and yet leaving a fine memory of the past.
As with the other two fragrances of this company, which I had the opportunity to get to know so far, "Le Roi Empereur" accompanied me pleasantly and very elegantly.
A true "fragrance gentleman" met me, whose unobtrusive noblesse will certainly not be everyone's cup of tea.
This ruler may look a little old-fashioned, but in a very lovable way!
