What Is Riiffs Imperial Blue a Dupe Of?

Imperial Blue is an Eros EDT clone

Riiffs Imperial Blue is a clone of Versace Eros EDT. We rate the similarity at 90%. The connection starts with apple and mint, then moves into geranium and warm tonka sweetness. If that fresh-and-sweet Eros combination is what you're after, Imperial Blue is worth a look.

We're comparing it with the Eau de Toilette here. Eros EDP, Parfum, Flame and Energy are separate versions, so this rating belongs to the original EDT pairing. Imperial Blue itself is an EDP; the concentration labels don't need to match for two fragrances to share a scent direction.

Fresh notes over a warmer base

Imperial Blue's catalog profile opens with apple, mint and orange blossom. Geranium, clary sage and Ambrofix sit in the middle, followed by tonka bean, sandalwood and frankincense. That gives you a useful picture of its approach: fruit and mint up front, aromatic notes through the middle and warmth underneath.

Eros EDT brings together that familiar mint-and-apple freshness with geranium, tonka and vanilla warmth. The appeal is the combination of a bright opening and a sweeter foundation. Imperial Blue's note list points in the same direction, even though its floral and woody details aren't identical.

Our 90% rating puts the two close overall. It doesn't mean every note has the same weight, or that one will wear exactly like the other on your skin. If you already know Eros well, the balance between the fresh opening and the warmer base is the part to pay attention to.
