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.

Dupes are rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
No. The Scent File takes no brand deals, no sponsorships, and no paid rankings. Rankings follow the scores only. We do earn affiliate commission when you purchase through our links at no extra cost to you — but this never influences which dupes appear or how they are scored.
