Mint, apple and orange blossom open Riiffs Imperial Blue, cooled by geranium, clary sage and Ambrofix in the heart before sandalwood, frankincense and tonka bean warm the base. It is an aromatic built around cool herbs and bright spice, with a woody, softly sweet finish.
The opening is cool and crisp, with mint leading and apple keeping it fresh rather than sweet, while orange blossom adds a little brightness. That is the strongest impression in the first few minutes. From there the geranium and clary sage come through, green and herbal, and the Ambrofix gives the heart a clean, skin-like lift. The base is where it settles: sandalwood gives a soft, creamy wood, frankincense adds a faint resinous smokiness and tonka bean brings gentle sweetness that stays close to the skin.
Imperial Blue is frequently compared to Eros by Versace - the two follow a similar arc, opening cool and minty before settling into a warm base of tonka and wood. The structure is similar rather than the same fragrance, so if Eros appeals to you, this is worth trying. If you'd rather stay with something FG carries, Des Tentations by Fragrance World Eau de Parfum 100ml sits in the same fresh territory and is in stock.
FG Perfumes sells Riiffs Imperial Blue, 100ml Eau de Parfum online with delivery across South Africa and in its three stores. See more from Riiffs, or browse other Fresh & Aromatic Perfumes.
Imperial Blue has been part of the Riiffs range since 2021, built around a mint and apple opening. Most wearers voting rate both its longevity and its sillage as moderate, so it stays at a sociable distance rather than filling a room. Anyone who wants a cool, herbal fragrance for daytime and warmer months, without a heavy sweet base, will reach for it.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
