Imperial Bloom For Women EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Deep Red is a powerfully feminine, fruity vanilla with a creamy, woody backbone. Its lush fruit and warm woods make a bold statement, wrapping you in a sweet but sophisticated embrace that is both playful and seductive.
A budget reading of Penhaligon's Empressa - the same bright citrus-fruit opening tumbling into a rosy heart and a sweet brown-sugar, cacao and amber base. Imperial Bloom captures the fruity-floral-gourmand idea convincingly, and given Empressa's notoriously short longevity, the dupe's modest staying power is barely a step down.

The lush fruit and warm vanilla make this best for cooler weather, especially fall and early winter. Its sweetness and creamy woods can feel cloying in summer heat but add comfort in spring evenings.
Occasions
Deep Red is bold and sensual, perfect for date nights and social events. It may be too assertive for office or sporty settings but works for casual outings and some formal occasions if applied with restraint.
