What does Empireo smell like?

The top holds myrrh, incense, bergamot and lavender, a resinous, spicy start. In the heart, white rose, jasmine sambac and heliotrope bring a soft, powdery floral note. The base of tonka bean, vanilla, benzoin and amber turns it gourmand, creamy and sweet, with sandalwood and cedarwood giving it a woody footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear, and voters mostly read it as feminine. Moresque Seta and Roja Parfums Amber have a close profile.
