The Essence Vault L Imperatrice - 581 is an Eau de Parfum. L Imperatrice - 581 opens with Kiwi, Rhubarb, and Watermelon, settles into a heart of Cyclamen and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. The Essence Vault's L Imperatrice - 581 carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

No. 581 chases Dolce & Gabbana's L'Imperatrice with a juicy watermelon-kiwi-rhubarb burst true to the original's fruity-aquatic-floral shape, but the florals and musk base thin out well before the real thing's noted staying power.

About

No. 581 draws on Dolce & Gabbana's L'Imperatrice, part of the tarot-themed D&G Anthology collection, known for its exuberant, star-quality blend of tart kiwi and rhubarb over a fresh watermelon-cyclamen-jasmine heart. The Essence Vault's version leans into the same juicy, playful fruit-forward opening, front-loading the watermelon and kiwi for an even more exuberant first impression. Where the dupe falls short is in the floral heart and musk-sandalwood base, which the original uses to add depth and genuine longevity - here they read thinner and fade to a plain, faintly sweet musk well ahead of schedule. A fun, glamorous fruity-floral for anyone who wants that vibrant, room-lighting energy for daytime wear without expecting the original's lasting sillage.
