Which Should You Buy?
A truly baffling fragrance, Empire is a gorgeous fruity-floral that plays hide-and-seek. It’s either a masterfully blended gem or a fleeting, overpriced disappointment, depending on your skin chemistry and patience. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
A divisive fruity-floral that splits opinion - some find it charmingly youthful and addictive, others dismiss it as synthetic and generic, smelling like a "teenage girl's perfume" or even "shampoo". It definitely won't be for everyone.
