Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Impératrice 3 EDT
A fresh and fruity fragrance celebrated for its vibrant and cheerful profile, making it a versatile pick for daily wear.
Favourite
Our Verdict - L Imperatrice - 581 EDP
No. 581 chases Dolce & Gabbana's L'Imperatrice with a juicy watermelon-kiwi-rhubarb burst true to the original's fruity-aquatic-floral shape, but the florals and musk base thin out well before the real thing's noted staying power.
