Best Dark Oud

Emper

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Emper Best Dark Oud is a heavy, unisex scent that sets rose and oud in a sweet, resinous and faintly smoky frame. Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong: it stays on skin for a long time and carries well around the wearer. Its dense build suits cooler days and evenings better than hot weather, and it reads equally well on men and women. Turkish rose, violet and vanilla open on a floral, sweet note, and Bulgarian rose leads the heart. In the base, oud, amber, benzoin and geranium take over, with gourmand, spicy, creamy and animal shades among the accords. Blend Oud Oud Sapphire and Ministry of Oud Oud Satin have a close profile.

Phantom My Hero

8.2

Emper

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Emper Phantom My Hero is a sweet, gourmand fragrance for men built around heliotrope, coffee and dark chocolate. Caramel, sugar cane and almond push the sweetness forward, while Martinique rum adds a boozy warmth. Sandalwood and vetiver lay a woody base, and floral, spicy and faintly resinous accords round it out. The overall impression is dense, creamy and oriental. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. Its gourmand build suits cooler weather best. Emper Phantom My Hero in New York and The Dua Brand Black Widow have a close profile.

Downtown Epic / داون تاون

8.3

Emper

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Emper Downtown Epic is a men's fragrance that sets a fresh, spicy opening on a woody, lightly sweet base. Bergamot, saffron and eucalyptus open it bright yet spiced. At the heart, gaiac wood, maté and clary sage lead, and dry woods and musk soften the base. Fresh and floral touches stay in the background behind the woody, oriental and leathery tones. Voters find its longevity and sillage good and rate it well for the price, though the number of votes is small. It reads masculine. Xerjoff Torino22 and Montagne Parfums Torino 2022 have a close profile.

Genius Hayati

7.5

Emper

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

Emper Genius Hayati is a women's perfume that pairs fresh citrus with a sweet, gourmand side, and it leans towards everyday wear. Mandarin orange and orange give it a fresh, fruity start. The heart holds sage, saffron, caramel and tonka bean: caramel and tonka sweeten it and add a creamy softness, while saffron and sage bring a spicy edge. Ambroxan, cedar and vetiver set a woody base underneath. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Voters pick daytime and leisure most often, with evening next. Armaf Odyssey Mandarin Sky and Emper Zephyr Escape have a close profile.

Legend (Eau de Toilette)

7.8

Emper

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Eau de Toilette

Emper Legend Eau de Toilette is a masculine scent that pairs bright citrus with spicy, woody warmth and a sweet, powdery finish. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the small number of votes makes these ratings a first impression rather than a firm verdict. It reads clearly masculine. It opens with lemon, grapefruit, rosemary and orange blossom for a sharp citrus start. In the heart, lavender, coriander and nutmeg add spice while gaiac wood and teakwood build a woody frame. The base of musk, oakmoss and tonka bean sweetens it and settles into an earthy, powdery finish.

Aruba Gold

7.1

Emper

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Emper Aruba Gold is a fresh citrus scent with a sweet, spicy and powdery gourmand side, made for women. Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong; the number of voters is small, but the scores are high on both counts. It is classed as a feminine perfume. The top opens fresh and spicy with Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot and ginger. Towards the heart, amber, cinnamon, pear and green apple bring a fruity sweetness. The base settles on a creamy, woody ground of Bourbon vanilla, white musk and vetiver. It shares a close profile with Emper Zephyr Gold and Xerjoff Erba Gold.

Falling in Love

7.2

Emper

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Emper Falling in Love is a sweet, floral unisex fragrance with a powdery, creamy character and a clear gourmand side, soft and enveloping in feel. It opens with ambrette and almond milk, and at the heart rose, freesia and iris bring a gentle floral softness. The base of tuberose, tonka bean, vanilla and white musk deepens the sweetness, while faint spicy and woody touches balance the creamy texture. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though with few votes these figures are tentative. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits those who enjoy sweet, powdery scents. Guerlain Eau de Lingerie and Pierre Guillaume 04 Musc Maori have a close profile.

Genius Oud Mystique

7.9

Emper

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Emper Genius Oud Mystique is a unisex oriental that opens fresh and fruity before settling into a sweet, spicy and woody body. Its sillage is rated strong, and most voters find it high, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough impression. Being unisex, it doesn't lean toward either gender. The top notes bring Turkish rose, saffron and passion fruit, with fruity notes keeping the start lively. In the heart, patchouli, benzoin and oud take over, while labdanum, leather, amber and vanilla sweeten and soften the base. The overall feel has floral and green touches, but the oriental character is what leads.
