The most luxurious scent. Every single time I wear this, someone new or someone who’s smelt it on me before will comment and compliment it. I never smell it on myself, so having other comment is always reassuring. I wear this one everywhere bar work. It’s just so beautiful but smells like luxury. The price is expensive, but compared to others this lasts so well!! So long as well.

I absolutely adore Empressa. Without exaggeration - everytime I wear it someone compliments me and asks what I'm wearing. It smells classy and expensive. If you like Coco Mademoiselle you will LOVE this!

Empressa - Beautiful perfume
Twice recently I have worn 'Empressa' as my daily perfume at work. Each time a work colleague (1 male / 1 female) have complimented me on the perfume and asked what I was wearing. Thank you for creating such wonderful scents, which I have known and used for many years.

Very good quality
Got this on Black Friday offer as a set with body wash and body balm. As first I was very impressed with it's packaging - a plastic box for the perfumes got my attention. The bottle itself has simple but stunning layout with the cute bow on the lid. Perfumes are incredible. At the first sniff I could smell orange and some other zest, then I've noticed pinch of vanilla and on the end it turned into creamy, musky, sweet but fresh elegant scent that I can't describe enough, it's beautiful! Lasts ages, used 2 sprays in the morning and others could still smell it at evening when I passed them. Overall I am over the moon, expensive but definitely worthy it's price! Will recomend this to everyone and will definitely buy more scents.

This scent is so luxurious and sensual. Bursting with blood orange and mandarin makes the fragrance so vibrant and uplifting, then the warmth of the vanilla, amber and patchouli makes the essence on your skin feels so exotic and rich! Settles into a creamy complex fragrance. Juicy and Beautiful!

A sparkling Bouquet in a bottle, Empressa is beautifully uplifting and never fails to make me feel happy whenever I smell it. It starts off with a beautiful succulent orange and juicy peach which soon warms into the sweetness of vanilla. This is the perfect combination for all citrus and floral lovers as it offers the best of both fragrance families combined together in an exquisite cocktail of juices.

Empressa is like wrapping a cashmere blanket around yourself. The vanilla notes ignites feeling of warmth and luxury.

My all time favourite Penhaligon's scent, Empressa is a sparkling mix of Blood Orange, Peach, Cassis and Vanilla fit for an Empress. Silky, seductive and indulgent, especially layered with the matching Empressa Body and Hand Wash, and Body and Hand Lotion.

Empressa is such a comforting scent. The warmth of the vanilla balanced by the freshness of the peach and citrus remind me of my mom's perfume when growing up. It feels bold and at the same time soothing like an intoxicating dream.

Empressa, you can never go wrong with Empressa! Bright, uplifting, fun! Juicy fruits, sensual floral, layered spices, cocoa, and patchouli to round them all up! Pair individually with Halfeti/Lothair/Elisabethan Rose, to name a few of my favorite layerings, for more depth if you like!

Empressa is such a divine feminine fragrance. I love that it’s so beautifully sweet without being to overpowering, the mandarin and blood orange give a lovely freshness without being too floral.

Empresses is my favourite of all time!! This is the perfume which introduced me to this wonderful perfume world. I love it because it’s fruity and fresh. Most importantly, it sits on my skin so well and it does last whole day. I always use this as my daily perfume and it goes well with any occasion! ❤️

Empressa is the fragrance I turn to when I feel indecisive as it never disappoints. My favourite note in fragrance is Peach because it reminiscent of my childhood and growing up in the Peach State of Georgia. It shines through the patchouli and vanilla notes.
