Black Soul Imperial

Ted Lapidus Black Soul Imperial is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Black Soul Imperial opens with Coffee and Citrus, settles into a heart of Mint and Spicy, and dries down to a base of Leather, Woody, and Amber. Ted Lapidus's Black Soul Imperial carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Divisive and unapologetically unique, Black Soul Imperial is a cheapie that splits opinions. Some find it a hidden gem, others an unpleasant mess of sweet rubber and chemicals. Either way, it's certainly not boring.

Given its strong projection and distinctive, dark profile, this fragrance leans away from office wear. It's better suited for evenings and dates where its unique character can shine, and some users even found it good for clubbing due to its excellent performance.

About

Black Soul Imperial opens with a surprising hit of fresh citrus and a distinct coffee note, not quite overwhelming but definitely present. As it develops, a warm, spicy core emerges with a touch of mint, leading into a rich, dark base of leather, amber, and woody notes. Some even pick up on a chocolatey, almost gummy accord beneath the surface, adding to its complex and sometimes odd character.
