Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Imperial EDP
Imperial is a powerful, elegant scent for those who command attention. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if you want to make a statement, this is your weapon.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Large Area EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Boadicea The Victorious Imperial - a floral fragrance led by Birch, Lavender, Rosewood, with woody depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and prominent leather and woody accords, Imperial is best suited for formal occasions and dates where it can truly shine and make an impression without overpowering. Its intensity makes it less ideal for casual wear or the office.

Large Area

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the floral signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
