Imperia Intense by Rayhaan

Eau de Parfum • Men • Spicy Woody Aromatic

Product description

Imperia Intense by Rayhaan Perfumes is a bold and sophisticated men’s fragrance crafted for the confident man who wants a standout scent. It’s an intensified version of the original Imperia with more depth and richness — blending spicy top notes with an aromatic heart and a warm, woody‑sensual dry‑down that lingers. 

Inspiration / Dupe

Rayhaan does not officially market Imperia Intense as a clone of a specific designer fragrance. That said, many reviewers and fragrance fans informally compare its vibe to Gucci Guilty Elixir and other spicy‑woody designer men’s fragrances due to its rich, aromatic and slightly sweet base — this is a community observation, not a brand claim. 

Notes (short)

Top Notes:

Star Anise, Cypress, Pepper, Tangerine 

Middle Notes:

Incense, Lavender, Orange Blossom, Vetiver 

Base Notes:

Cashmere Wood, Vanilla, Musk, Sandalwood 

What it smells like

Imperia Intense opens with a spicy and aromatic burst — star anise and pepper give bold energy tempered by citrusy tangerine and resinous cypress. As it develops, smoky incense and floral lavender mingle with vetiver and orange blossom, creating a complex heart that feels sophisticated and intriguing. The dry‑down is warm and sensual, with creamy cashmere wood, smooth sandalwood, sweet vanilla and musk leaving a lingering, confident trail. 

Wearers often describe it as bold, spicy‑woody and slightly sweet, with a presence that’s both assertive and refined — especially after the fragrance settles. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long — many users find it lasts 8+ hours with a strong base presence.  
• Sillage: Moderate — noticeable without overwhelming.  
• Projection: Strong initial projection, gradually softening into a warmer, closer dry‑down.  

Some reviewers note that the initial opening can feel a bit sharp or intense, but it mellows beautifully as it dries down. 

Best for

• Evening wear & nights out — depth and warmth make it ideal for cooler months and after‑dark confidence.  
• Formal occasions & dates — elegant yet bold presence leaves a memorable impact.  
• Fall & winter seasons — spice and woody warmth thrive in cooler weather.  
• Fans of spicy aromatic men’s fragrances — especially those who like bold, rich profiles with woody and gourmand undertones.
