One of the most stunning and intoxicating men\u2019s fragrances I\u2019ve ever come across, Emperor is a sweet, fruity composition that quickly reminds me of the opening notes of Versace\u2019s Versace Man and more startlingly, and overall, Christian Dior Poison. Being a <a href=\"https:\/\/nstperfume.com\/2005\/10\/27\/christian-dior-poison-revisited\/\">huge fan of Poison<\/a>, I am thrilled to have found something that I could easily consider calling \u201cPoison for Men\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Emperor never lets go of its Muscat character. Instead, the composition employs various notes that slowly highlight it as the fragrance develops. At first, I detect honey, and the effect is that of a rich port wine. The scent continues by adding a dry sharpness to the sweetness with hints of woods. Finally, the vanilla, musk and amber, with an appearance by a late-arriving jasmine, carry the last of the fruit notes into the drydown and I\u2019m reminded of Gaultier2 and Thierry Mugler Alien.<\/p>\n<p>Visually, I don\u2019t get jade at all, but rather, partly because of my associations with Poison and Alien, and partly because of the black currant and Muscat notes, I get rich, deep, purple \u2014 a dark maroon marble tabletop set on a cedar frame in a dark cool room surrounded by barrels of aging port.
