Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Light, fruity and close to the skin, it suits daytime casual wear and the office more than evening occasions.
Seasons
The juicy watermelon-kiwi freshness and airy florals make this a warm-weather scent built for spring and summer; too light for cold months.
Occasions
Fun, fresh and unobtrusive - perfect for casual days, daily wear and easy dates, even sport; too playful for formal settings.
