The review
Worth a try. That is where The Empress lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to L'Imperatrice Limited Edition.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is L'Imperatrice Limited Edition's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: watermelon and strawberry up top, pink peony, damask rose and magnolia in the middle, musk, sandalwood and smoke underneath — the shape of Dolce&Gabbana L'Imperatrice Limited Edition.
Top
- watermelon
- strawberry
Heart
- pink peony
- damask rose
- magnolia
Base
- musk
- sandalwood
- smoke
Strawberry added to the watermelon and a curl of smoke at the base, familiar but fuller.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
