Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - D&G Anthology L'Imperatrice 3 EDP
L'Imperatrice 3 is the fruitiest entry in D&G's tarot-card Anthology series, a juicy kiwi-watermelon opening over a soft jasmine-musk heart built for warm-weather wear.
Statement
Our Verdict - Empress For Women EDP
A budget run at D&G's cult L'Imperatrice 3. Empress nails the juicy, sweet-and-sour watermelon-kiwi rush that made the original a summer favourite, sitting it over light cyclamen-jasmine and clean musk. It captures the fun, fizzy character faithfully, though it wears lighter and fades a touch faster than the D&G.
