What does Empress smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though few people have voted, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a firm verdict. With its sweet, slightly synthetic character, it suits those who want a scent that stays noticeable through the day, applied with a careful hand.

The top notes of woodland strawberry and pear give a fruity first impression. In the heart, peony, rose and vine form a floral middle. At the base, popcorn and toffee bring out the gourmand sweetness, while musk, woods and patchouli soften it and carry a spicy tone through the scent.
