What does Emperor Galerius smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated good, with close to half of voters scoring them high, though the number of votes is small. Being unisex, it reads comfortably on anyone.

The top notes of juniper berry, apple and pineapple give a fruity freshness, which bergamot, rose and jasmine in the heart soften. In the base, musk, vanilla and ambergris carry the sweetness while birch and patchouli add a smoky, spicy woodiness, with a slightly synthetic sheen in the accords. Parfums Vintage Emperor Extrait and Parfums Vintage Emperor (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
