Eden Perfumes No.490 L'imperatrice is an Eau de Parfum. No.490 L'imperatrice opens with Kiwi, Rhubarb, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Jasmine, and Watermelon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Lemon, and Sandalwood. Eden Perfumes's No.490 L'imperatrice carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Eden's No.490 is inspired by Dolce & Gabbana's L'Imperatrice, a fruity-fresh eau de toilette known for its pure watermelon opening layered with kiwi and rhubarb. The dupe follows the same fruit-forward structure, with pink pepper adding a light spiced lift before the watermelon and kiwi take over. A cyclamen and jasmine heart nods to the original's sensual floral facet, while the musk, sandalwood and lemon base grounds the composition without overcomplicating it. Because the original itself is not a longevity powerhouse, running around four to five hours on skin, Eden's version doesn't have to work as hard to close the gap, and the fruity-aquatic character comes through clearly. It reads a touch flatter and less refined in the fruit-floral blend than the D&G original, but the core hedonistic summer-nights mood is intact. A good pick for anyone wanting a cheerful, fresh, watermelon-led scent for daytime casual wear or a warm-weather date without paying designer prices.
