Which Should You Buy?
A fresh and fruity fragrance celebrated for its vibrant and cheerful profile, making it a versatile pick for daily 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.
