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!

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 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.

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.
Love It
