Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Impératrice EDT
A burst of watermelon and kiwi on a musky, ozonic base, L'Impératrice is an iconic fruity-aquatic that radiates fun, sunshine, and confidence. A staple for those craving easy, vibrant freshness.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.490 L'imperatrice EDP
No.490 mirrors D&G's L'Imperatrice watermelon-kiwi-rhubarb splash well, and given the original itself is a light, moderate-longevity EDT, the dupe's flatter dry-down is less of a gap here than usual. A juicy, carefree fruity-aquatic for warm days at a fraction of the price.

Season and Occasion Fit

L'Impératrice

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Its juicy fruits, watery and ozonic freshness, and delicate florals make it perfect for spring and summer, while the lack of warmth and depth makes it less suitable for colder months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its clean, light projection and bright personality suit daytime, casual, and sporty settings, while its fun, playful vibe works well for dates but is a bit too informal for formal occasions.
