PowderyWhat does Sissi Imperatrice smell like?
It opens with a light, airy bergamot. In the heart, iris and violet take over, giving the scent a powdery, floral softness. Vanilla adds a gentle sweetness at the base, and green and woody touches settle it onto a calm foundation. The overall impression is clean, floral and lightly sweet. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Figue-Iris and Gucci The Virgin Violet have a similar profile.
