Vivamor Parfums Rouge Imperiale is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Chris Maurice. Rouge Imperiale opens with Rose and Saffron, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Suede, Cedar, and Vanilla. Vivamor Parfums's Rouge Imperiale carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This ain't your mum's BR540. Rouge Imperiale is a leather-forward beast with a strong rose backbone that's divided the room. While some find it agreeably masculine, others are overwhelmed by the dominant suede and rose - you'll either love it or hate it, mate.

Topas listed
Baseas listed

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Fall

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its prominent leather and rose accords, combined with what sounds like strong performance for an extrait, make it too imposing for office wear. However, its sophisticated and bold nature is perfect for date nights or formal events, especially in cooler weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sharp, almost metallic saffron and a deep, full-bodied rose. As it settles, a prominent, rugged leather or suede note takes centre stage, asserting a bold presence. Iris and sandalwood soften the edges, adding a touch of powdery refinement and creamy depth. The base rounds out with a warm cedar and a whisper of vanilla, grounding the powerful leather and floral heart.
