Grapefruit and bergamot hit clean and sharp at the opening — citrus with real bite rather than sweetness. Galbanum adds a faint green edge that keeps the early stage from going soft. As it settles, the heart turns woody and grounded, cedar and patchouli layering in a dry, almost resinous quality. The dry-down is where vanilla and amber quietly pull things warmer without tipping into gourmand territory. Projection is moderate, sillage stays close but present. — A polished, skin-close summer-to-fall choice for anyone who wants citrus that actually finishes well.
Extrait de Parfum — lemon/lime/grapefruit top, herbs + vanilla + leather drydown that closely traces Elysium's signature. Extrait concentration gives 10+ hours of solid wear, fixing Imperium's longevity issue.

Opens with identical metallic blue-fruity punch; drydown slightly less earthy. Same 22-note structure per Basenotes; around 80% similar. Notorious longevity weakness — 2-4 hours, skin scent fast.
