Description
Empressa Eau de Parfum Penhaligon’s (Women)
Glittering and glam without trying too hard: Empressa opens with a sparkling citrus sash blood orange, bergamot, mandarin before slipping into a jewel-toned heart where peach, dewberry, blackcurrant, rose, neroli, geranium (with cardamom, nutmeg, pink & black pepper) do a flirty waltz. Then the crown comes out: a plush, lingering base of vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood, amber, musk, frankincense (olibanum), cacao, and maltol that hums like satin at midnight. It’s polished, feminine, and the scent version of “oh, this old tiara?” aka compliments guaranteed.
