Imperial Ruby Charriol for women

Well, this is disappointing. I had my hopes up about this as I loved the discontinued Cartier Delices. Despite the resemblance, Delice stayed on for hours. I cannot say the same about Imperial Ruby. Lasting power is so weak. I need to reapply every two hours or so! Won't stay even on clothes. I never needed a perfume to stay more, that's the first time it happened to me. So disappointed.

If anyone is interested in swapping a decant of Imperial Saphir or Charriol EDP in exchange for a decant of Imperial Ruby, please PM. I am in the US.

I had high expectation from this fragrance while looking for a perfect juicy cherry.

The good thing: it is not sweet cherry, no sickening almonds or tonka beans.

However it has a aquatic violet note, which I hate. Seems it is very hard to make a fresh juicy cherry scent in perfumery and every non sweet fruit fragrance is packed in the red bottle and marketed as a cherry fragrance.

This is such an underrated perfume.I feel like this is such a lighter version of Guerlain La Petit Robe Noire with the cherry note. I love the watermelon note. Let's talk about the bottle. Charriol design the the bottle with a ring underneath the cap. How cute is that? Combining fashion accessory in a bottle. Genious!

I own the Imperial Sapphire and enjoy that one immensely. I've been so impressed with Charriol's fragrances, as the Imperial Sapphire has depth and lasts all day. I got curious about Imperial Ruby and it's Christmas so why not give myself a nice gift... Like the other one, this Ruby edition is just fabulous. The bottle is stunning, glowing red and heavy with detachable gold ring embellished with red crystals around the neck... It makes a good quality jewelry, as a ring or pendant with your own gold chain. Gah, I love good packaging and everything down to the box doesn't disappoint. It feels very Christmas-y and glam... Sillage is moderate and on me, it lasts around 6-8 hours.

I generally don't like perfumes that are too sweet and even though this one is rather sweet, I love it. It's a smell full of passion and flirt. I wear it at night, all year around, winter and fall especially. For me, it's sweet, woody and powdery, with a hint of soft cherry. Sexy.

ive got a vial,1,6ml. its a very very strong perfume to me, just spray not too much. really makes me headache a little..
for a mature woman, and night and warm winter i guess maybe itll work..

not my signature, unfortunately.

It is nice, fruity and fresh but not a green freshness (ozonic maybe). Will be perfect for day use over summer time.
It reminds me of amor amor from Cacharel.
I like it very much and I def will wear it but there is something telling me, dare I say: "generic".
As it warms up in your skin gets more sophisticate, as the sandalwood shows up.
Nice one, happy with my purchase as it is different from the rest of my collection. x

amazing smell and unique
very good sillage and longevity
bravo charriol

I just got it now in my office.
It smells like cough syrup...
maybe there is no woody, that would be better.

Sweet, warm and quite intrigueing. May seem too sweet to some people, though. Reminds me of Jean Luc Amsler's Prive (which I own and adore) a lot, so there's no reason to buy this new baby to me :-)
