PENHALIGON’S X DRIES CRIEL
Penhaligon’s is delighted to announce an exclusive collaboration with acclaimed jeweller and designer Dries Criel. The partnership sees the creation of a limited-edition bottle of our iconic scent, Empressa.
An Exquisite Rarity
Reimagined in an exclusive 200ml format with a traditional stopper, Empressa finds new splendour in a bottle adorned with 18-carat gold detailing and mother-of-pearl, finished with Dries Criel’s meticulous hand.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS
Speaking on the creative process of the bottle, Criel remarks, “Fluid forms meet geometric rigour, piece by piece I have created a universe of my own. Empressa’s refined story found harmony with my Lotus design, an emblem of rebirth and enduring grace.”

“THE DELICATE LINES, GOLD DETAILS AND MOTHER-OF-PEARL ESSENCE ECHO BOTH THE FRAGRANCE’S EXQUISITE JOURNEY AND MY CREATIVE LANGUAGE, UNITING TIMELESS CRAFT WITH MODERN ELEGANCE.”
A Collectible
With this exclusive partnership, Penhaligon’s once again bridges the worlds of perfumery, culture, and artistry. Empressa, luminous with the sheen of pearls and opulent with silks, takes inspiration from Abu Dhabi’s pearl heritage and the enduring legacy of regal women. This limited-edition bottle amplifies that story, marrying scent with precious materiality to create a collectible objet d’art.
