Perfume Parlour Flower Empress For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1989. Flower Empress For Women opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Flower Empress For Women carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A budget take on Creed's Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie. Flower Empress captures the lush jasmine-and-rose heart drying into creamy sandalwood and vanilla that defines the regal vintage original, but Perfume Parlour's version reads cleaner and simpler, missing the slightly dirty, ambergris-laced complexity that gives the Creed its old-world character.

Timeline

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

Flower Empress opens on a bright thread of bergamot before quickly blooming into its lush floral heart, the rich Bulgarian rose and Italian jasmine that made Creed's Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie a regal classic, a fragrance commissioned for an empress. A touch of ambergris lends the bouquet a soft, skin-warm depth. It settles into a creamy base of sandalwood and vanilla for a smooth, refined finish. Set beside the original, the Perfume Parlour interpretation keeps that opulent jasmine-rose character recognisable but reads cleaner and simpler, missing the slightly dirty, vintage-musk complexity, all Mitsouko-and-Shalimar era nostalgia, that gives the Creed its old-world soul. Longevity is solid for the price, though the original projects more confidently in cool weather. For a few pounds it delivers that elegant, creamy floral signature faithfully, a romantic pick for cool-weather dates and dressed-up evenings.
