The review
Strong contender. That is where Imperial Bloom For Women lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Empressa.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Empressa's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $83 per 100ml it costs 49% less than Empressa — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.
