Black Soul Imperial Cologne by Ted Lapidus, Presented in 2011, Black Soul Imperial is a woody spicy men’s fragrance with warm spicy, coffee, green, and leather main accords. This scent, contained in a black bottle with a gold topper, works well on fall and winter days. The head notes are coffee and citruses. Next are the heart notes of mint and spices, which lead to a base note finale of leather, amber, and woodsy notes. The fragrance has long lasting longevity and heavy sillage.

Edmond “Ted”
Lapidus was born in Paris, France and is of Russian and Jewish descent. In 1951, he started his fashion label after completing an apprenticeship with Christian Dior. His innovations include creating the unisex fashion look, giving haute couture military and safari influences, and bringing blue jeans to the mainstream. Currently, the brand has moved away from haute couture and focuses on accessories and fragrances. The first fragrance was launched with L’Oreal in 1975 but Jacques Bogart Group has been producing new scents for the label since 1983. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey everybody, Matt here. Today I'll be reviewing Black Soul Imperial by Ted Lapidus. It's a men's scent launched in 2011 as a flanker to 2009's original Black Soul. This scent is ideal for winter night wear as its dominant notes are spices, leather, and baked coffee. Other notes include top notes of citrus, heart notes of mint, and base notes of wood and amber. I love its longevity and warmth. But it's kind of heavy, so I'd recommend applying it lightly. All right, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this review.

Intoxicating Scent!

The best smelling shower gel I have ever used in my life. Absolutely love the scent, exotic, sweet, mysterious, and surprisingly hangs around a while after getting out of the shower.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Lapidus is not for everyone !

I do not know a single easy fragrance from Ted Lapidus . Since the very controversial Lapidus pour Homme , divides opinions . If you are looking for a discrete scent , this is really not for . Perhaps in cold climates ( which includes some regions in Brazil ) , it could work . It is very powerful scent , in my skin, but I read some reviews people claiming a low silage and short longevity . So , test it before buying . If you like spices , woods and powerful silage and longevity (possibly, so test it), this fragrance is for you . Maybe , it could be less powerful due to your skin and/or climate conditions . But , if you live in the summer or in warm regions , this fragrance easily become a spice bomb . I really think you can give this fragrance a chance .

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Black Soul Imperial

Extremely sweet spices over top of dark coffee/woods, with a dangerous black leather accent. I'm not wild about scents this sweet. But i like this one. It has a slightly more adult vibe for a super sweet fragrance.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
