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.

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.
