Imperial Tea is well-regarded in the tea fragrance community as a realistic and elegant jasmine green tea scent with a smooth drydown. While praised for its sophisticated composition and signature-worthy quality, some find the opening sharper than expected with the jasmine dominating over the tea note. It's considered a solid choice for tea lovers despite the premium By Kilian pricing.
Positief
Realistic, photorealistic jasmine green tea scent
Smooth, elegant, and sophisticated composition
Smooth drydown with pleasant evolution
Works well as a signature fragrance
Negatief
Sharp opening with indolic jasmine that may not appeal to all
Tea note can take a backseat to jasmine in the composition

Chergui is a well-crafted but divisive fragrance with a distinctive powdery tobacco profile that appeals strongly to its admirers but isn't universally loved. The community consensus leans positive overall, though most agree it's not a safe blind buy given its niche character and high price point, recommending sampling first, especially if coming from different fragrance families like Ambre Sultan.
Positief
Unique powdery tobacco blend with pleasant hay notes
Excellent performance and longevity in cooler weather
Highly regarded by Serge Lutens enthusiasts and loyal fans
Versatile unisex appeal, works well for both men and women
Negatief
Noticeably powdery character that some find off-putting or baby powder-like
Not similar to Ambre Sultan despite both being amber fragrances
