Imperiale Guerlain price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €124. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Azzaro Chrome and Dolce&Gabbana Dolce & Gabbana.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance.
Longevity on skin
It fades fairly fast, after about 1 to 3 hours on skin, so you may want to spray it again later. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Azzaro Chrome and Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme 2012 last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Guerlain Tonka Imperiale unisex lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like rosemary and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
