Thanks for another great review! Here's a tip: Order the discovery set of all 8 for 21€, first as it is refunded when you buy the 100ml bottle. That way you get 6 more free samples, boom...
Its my 2nd wear today, I cant get enough of it or constantly stop sniffing myself 🤣. When my clients come to have their hair done they always look forward to sampling my latest addition and always turn up without wearing a fragrance knowing they will get a spray. I can tell you out of the majority of my fragrances, they have gone absolutely gagga over this stunner. Its definitely back up bottle worthy 😍
Nice take on this! Bois Imperiale really was very intriguing when I tested it. Why I ended up getting Mon Vetiver is beyond me but I also find that interesting and slightly overlaps with Bois Imperiale. All the offerings by Essential Parfums, despite the lack of originality, are actually pretty good considering the price.
Extrait is even better, I had the pleasure of testing it but unfortunetlly I could not buy it. And I have ti say it's a shame it eill come 8n 30ml bittle, I wish they have 60ml. Same smell but so much smoother, like terre edt vs parfum
Man, everything about that says it should cost 2x, so glad to see some reasonably priced niche scents popping up. Going to check this for sure, thanks Matt.I'm on a bit of a Caron bender lately.
First time watching your videos mate. Personally love Ganymede but have heard good things about this one, definitely going to buy a decant after this review. Half the price for 100mls of both is too good not to try
I agree with you about Ganymede. There was something about it that made it smell less polished, and maybe not finished correctly. I'll have to find this one and give it a try.
Packaging and all about Essential Perfumes line of fragrances is ecology. That's why those fragrances have big % of natural ingredients and packaging is very simple.
Edit: in those two days I bought and sold bottle of Bois Imperial. For me it's like watered Ganymede. Gany base dna is there but Ganymede is so much richer in every sense. For ppl Gany is to heavy to wear Bois is perfect but just not for me.
I don’t find any similarity to Ganymede sharp metallic opening. And I don’t exactly recall the Ganymede mid-base so can’t say much about that…probably will get a decant to test again sometime. What I do find similarity to is Encre Noir mid-base…I get a beautiful vetiver, some patchouli, creamy sandalwood / powdery and sweet and fresh…something similar to high quality Ruh Khus attar mid-base. Projection is moderate and overall this smells fantastic! Woody, fresh, creamy, powdery and amazing! If Ganymede mid-base smells like this then I have to say the hype is real. Longevity is around 6-7 hrs on my skin and then maybe another 1-2 hrs as faint skin scent. Packaging is utter rubbish. Sprayer is ultra-fine mister and I ended up doing doing 20+ sprays cause I was not sure if was landing on my skin.
@@QuestioningScents no problem Matt ill get back to you about the fig one. you would definitely like divine Vanille oliver pescheux done this and herod so the same story as gaynmede and bois imperial
I love Ganymede....can't wait to try this beaut.....already ordered...once again...thanks for recommending gems to us frag addicts....keep up the good job 👏
Has this been reformulated? Got a fresh bottle recently, all the reviews were raving about strength and longevity and quality. Mine smells as if it hasn't macerated yet. I have to use like 10 sprays for it just to have a normal fragrance strength where i can discern the DNA. Longevity is like 4 hours max on my skin. Extremely disappointed. I was expecting something quite strong like the kenzo homme edt/edp but more fresh and airy.
@@QuestioningScents Hey thanks for the quick answer.I see so others had similar experiences. Indeed I think my nose is simply anosmic to the molecules in this one then. I'll let it sit for a month and see if it gets stronger.
Just got it NICE. Thank you Matt. Sprayed it..STELLAR. 78 bucks from Lucky Scent here in the States with free shipping. One of my best niche pick ups of 242 bottle collection. Like you said fpr the price it can't be beat. Thanks again Matt. Always enjoy the content.
Just now got into this fragrance and ordered it the other day and should be coming in this week. A bit off topic but what are those frames? I absolutely love and need them! Please let me know.
Hi Matt, nice review! I know the house but I've never decided to try any of their fragrances. I will test some of them (figue infusion, nice bergamote, ...). I have a question, did you try "Dehn al oud Asloobi" by Lattafa? If not, can you test it and give your opinion? I have it but, I don't know which perfume it's trying to clone. It's a nice perfume.
After purchasing Kenzo EDP ( on your recommendation..which is awesome) I managed to get a 10ml sample of the EDT intense …albeit similar ive found a good deal …till i saw this review! This sounds great ..would u suggest this as a better purchase ( rather than getting another Kenzo which is similar ish to the other). Your expert thoughts? Cheers
@@QuestioningScents cheers! I think i was only drawn to the other kenzo due to the price as to me ( albeit slightly different) my missus will think they are the same ..so this sounds great! Out of interest, you mentioned they did free shipping and samples? They do samples but charge €5 for shipping..did you use a code? Or maybe cost increases lately has added this. Cheers
This has been getting a lot of hype which is making me consider getting a bottle even though I already have Ganymede. Your review and it’s price is not helping me towards a prudent decision ; ). To buy or not to buy….
Yeah, the packaging screams "ECO!!!" and other awkward virtue signals. Other than that, the scent itself is amazing. I tend to overspray it, but it never gets offensive.
Maybe they really mean it when they try to do eco-friendly packaging? How do you know it's just virtue signalling? Maybe it's not eco related at all and they just want to save some money on packaging (which I personally also consider quite irrelevant).
Thanks for another great review! Here's a tip: Order the discovery set of all 8 for 21€, first as it is refunded when you buy the 100ml bottle. That way you get 6 more free samples, boom...
Best fragrance ever in my opinion, this capture the smell of crisp metallic woods !!! Definitely a must
Its a fabulous fragrance for sure buddy
I got this as a result of this review . Another winner! What a fragrance matey!! Thankyou

Wore it to the movies and couldn’t stop smelling my arm
Actually timut has a grapefruit facet. It has a fresh and citrus effect
Actually I buy it the Bois Imperial and Divine Vanille, both are bangers ❤
Yeah that DV is a great one as well
Dear Matt, welcome back. Thank you for an awesome another review. I will try 10ml bottle they offer.
Best regards
Please let me know what you think when you get it buddy
This is beautiful love this and divine Vanille smells like herod it's unreal. I'm going to get fig infusion in a few weeks Matt.
Oh please come back and tell us all about Fig when it arrives 🙏

Loved the video. Might need to get a bottle myself now! Really intrigued.
Thanks buddy. You will be very happy with this one I'm sure of it
Wonderful fragrance! I bought the bottle for me😍
You make unique and great reviews happy to finding your Chanel…
Hey buddy , thanks for the kind words 😊
Thank you for posting this helpful video. Great channel.
Nice review Matt I was quite surprised by the price does sound very nice I’ve seen some folk say it’s a great alternative to TF Grey Vetiver EDP
Yeah definitely, much .more interesting than Grey Vetiver with better performance but in the de ball park

I don't think its been reformulated buddy, I do know quite a few people that go nose blind to this one after a while though

Can this worn for spring and summers
@Captain SonyPony Definitely Spring and on warm days , it's very strong so maybe a but too much for some on a hot day
@@QuestioningScents thanks mate 👍 but I'm into pushing the limits with fragrances especially post covid reasons strong freshie seems up my alley
Smack on correct yet agaun Matt...but may i add that BI is Ganymede's younger brother havung worn both recently with BI the most recent. Cheers
Matt..Matt Now I have ordered another do to you. As you have great taste...Thanks for the content. Be safe.
Buddy , you sre going to bloody love this one !!! Please come back and let us know how you are getting on with it when it arrives

This does sound your cup of tea. It's the musc I've got my eye on from Calice Becker
Oooh the Musc is meant to be awesome Jon. I really want to try that one
Just now got into this fragrance and ordered it the other day and should be coming in this week. A bit off topic but what are those frames? I absolutely love and need them! Please let me know.
They are made by a company called Ji Soo buddy
@@QuestioningScents got it thanks dude.

Can you tell me what's the safest online site to buy Bois Imperial?
Thanks in advance.
Of course buddy , get it straight from Essential Parfums, you get two free samples with your purchase as well 😉
What is the weight of this bottle with/without the package?
Absolutely no idea mate . I've had it ages and it's about half full now
@@QuestioningScents
After all this time, how do you still see Bois Imperial?
@@2hmedbadawy amazing buddy
@@QuestioningScents
Is it similar to Dior Sauvage or Gissada Ambassador?
Intro song? 🤩
I'm glad you like it ,it was.made by Rich the other half of Questioning Scents 😃
