A Delight
Empressa is a magical fresh and powdery scent that lingers in sensuality and elegance. It is most loved by those who envelope in it's super lightness and luxurious scent - my mum is a convert after relying on overpowering scents of high-end brands perfumes. It is the perfect day to night perfume with the scent of vanilla with hints of fruits and woody smells ever so present. The gorgeous bottle and green bow is a perfect encapsulation of it's luxury. I have the rollerball to accompany me on my trade routes travels. Empressa does impress! IG: babymelon
Best feminine fragrance ever!
When you get your first sniff of the sweet and fresh notes of this fragrance you can't help but love it! It is a very well balanced scent with feminine and elegant notes without being overpowering which makes it perfect for day and night use equally. The scent on the skin feels like a luxury treat and if you combine it with the matching body lotion it becomes a truly heavenly experience for all your senses. .
Shimmering.... yes!!
A sparkling chypre fragrance, silky and delightful to wear. Blood orange, mandarin and bergamot open over rose, geranium, cassis and cardamom. These facets give Empressa a sensual, floral, fruity, citrus feel over the slightly sweet fragrance of frankincense and caramel. Happy to see that the earthy and tart absolute of patchouli is present in the base. Shimmering.... yes!!

Beautiful Scent
Empressa was my first Penhaligon’s fragrance purchase and it is my favourite for daytime. Although it has beautiful citrus notes, it feels opulent and makes me feel special wearing it. It is incomparable with fruity scents I have tried before, much more complex and the fragrance lasts well during the day. It is a subtle yet luxurious scent which I love.

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin with this scent?! It is quite simply divine. Perfection in a bottle and it looks stunning displayed on my vanity! This one is so deep and luxurious, I really feel so glamorous every time I wear it. Yet somehow, its the perfect scent for every occasion - it's still light and airy enough to wear during the day (which is why it immediately became my signature scent) but also deep and sultry enough for after-hours! It is remarkable how dynamic this fragrance is... IG @graciedarl
