Empressa by Penhaligon’s opens with the lush sweetness of peach and the sparkling zest of blood orange, softening into rose draped in smooth vanilla. Elegant yet self-assured, it wears like a fine gown that moves with effortless grace. It evokes a sun‑drenched balcony overlooking a shimmering harbour, where ships from distant lands arrive laden with silks and hidden treasures. A fragrance for those who command attention not through volume, but through undeniable presence.

Wow, Empressa blew me away! The cacao and olibanum give it this unique depth that's hard to explain. It feels rich and comforting while still being feminine. Perfect for chilly nights out! I found the projection to be just right – not too loud, but definitely noticeable. This one’s going to be a staple for me, tbh.

I am obsessed with Empressa! The blood orange and peach combo is just divine. It’s sweet but not overwhelming, making it super versatile for day or night. The way the musk and sandalwood dry down is like a cozy hug! Seriously, if you're into warm and inviting scents, this is a must-try. Lasts all day for me, too. Highly recommend!

Fruity and Fun!
Empressa is such a fruity delight! The first spritz hits you with bright mandarin and blood orange vibes, and I can't get enough. It’s definitely a feel-good scent. I will say that if you don’t like sweet fragrances, maybe skip this one. The lasting power on me is around 6 hours, which is decent. Perfect for everyday wear!

Fruity & Sweet Vibes!
Okay, I'm really into Empressa! The blood orange and peach combo feels super juicy and bright. It’s sweet without being too overwhelming thanks to that smooth sandalwood in the base. I wore it to a brunch and got a bunch of compliments! The only downside? It doesn't last as long as I hoped—maybe 5 hours tops for me. Still, it’s a fab scent for everyday wear or casual outings. Totally recommend it if you love fruity florals with a warm twist!

Okay, I need to rave about Empressa. The bergamot and pink pepper in the opening are so refreshing, but then the richness of brown sugar and vanilla comes in, and it’s like magic. This fragrance is elegant and classy – perfect for special occasions or when you want to feel luxe. It sticks around for about 8 hours on my skin. Love it!
