CreamyWhat does Empire smell like?
The top is bright with plum, peach, Sicilian bergamot and Sicilian mandarin orange, with pink pepper adding a touch of spice. In the heart, May rose, jasmine sambac, magnolia and gardenia form a full floral core. Vanilla, raspberry, patchouli and sandalwood sweeten the base and give it a creamy warmth.
Most voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Spring and summer lead while winter trails far behind, and leisure, business and daily wear get nearly equal votes. Close to half of voters find it feminine. Boadicea the Victorious Fidelity and Anfas Salam have a close profile.
