IMPERIAL BLUE - Tribute to CK One

In 1994, CK One revolutionized the fragrance industry. It was the pioneering unisex scent that transcended gender norms and characterized a new era — fresh, minimalist, and effortlessly stylish. Embraced by both men and women, it emerged as a symbol of individuality and defiance, encapsulated in a fragrance that was so clean and light, it evoked a sense of freedom.

Imperial Blue by Vortelle pays homage to that daring moment in fragrance history — when scent became a means of expression. A means for those who resisted being categorized.

A means for purity, clarity, and connection. This is not merely a unisex fragrance. It is a universal one.
