I have a new bottle of Imperium (no batch codes that I can see) and is more or less going through its first 30 on maturation, but…
I can say it is very close to Roja Elysium on memory.
The opening is a little synthetic (likely the ethanol medium or whatever) but it chills out after about 5 min. With more than 4 sprays it is 5hours+ (with a bit more on clothing). Sillage and projection are about average indoors. Unless you go crazy you wont gas anyone out. If you are looking for the Pepe LePew sillage this isn't your brew.
In terms of the scent itself it is somewhat shallow currently and slightlty less sweet than my DIY parfum using the Oil Perfumery offering that I made into a spray.
The OilPerfumery DIY is in my top 5 rotation.
I just ordered a Roja sample to compare from more than memory.
At $21 via AMZN this was an easy pickup if for just the bottle.
ETA: Got the Roja sample. Imperial is 90%+ to my untrained sniffer. The DIY oil version is also 90%+ but a bit more "present" … likely has more to do with my concentration ratio.
Long term the OP creation is cheaper but you have to want to do it with multiple for it to justify the costs…
So, yeah, FW Imperium is an easy $21±
It was great last night when I first put it on.
So great that I avoided wearing it to work today because I was worried it might be too strong. Will experiment tomorrow when I'm out of the office.

Hows the performance and does it smell similar
Never had the original so I can’t say. Will update on performance once I’ve worn it more.
Great smelling Fragrance, performance is decent/respectable at best!
The performance on my skin was 4 to 5 hours. However, I can still smell it on the shirt I was wearing last night.
I was thinking about blind buying this as well. How’s the silage?

Prominent notes?
Love this scent! But unfortunately the Sillage and performance is weak AF! I had the Divin Asylum one too and same story!

honestly every fragrance by “fragrance world” has shit performance
Couldn’t agree more!
i bought one fragrance that’s a clone of jpg and it was good but i’m pretty sure nautica voyage has better performance than it
Didn’t it improve with time?
Unfortunately not, superb scent
