About

L'Impératrice bursts open with lush kiwi and mouthwatering watermelon, instantly conjuring a sense of sparkling fruit salad on a summer day. Crisp rhubarb and pink pepper add tartness and lift, while delicate cyclamen and jasmine swirl through the heart like a soft floral breeze. The musky, watery base with subtle sandalwood and lemon tree keeps things clean and breezy, evoking the feeling of sunlight on dewy grass. Effortlessly modern and lively, it's a radiant, energetic scent that leaves a trail of juicy freshness.
