In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotEmpressa Eau de Parfum is a polished fruity patchouli with a bright orange opening, soft peach, rose, and a warmer base of sandalwood, musk, amber, vanilla, and cacao. On skin it often reads elegant, sweet-fresh, and mature, with a fruitchouli style many wearers compare to Coco Mademoiselle. It suits shoppers who like…
Reviews →Taupe Eclipse opens with a bright splash of ripe peach and sweet, lactonic coconut. A delicate trail of rose softens the initial fruitiness, while a base of warm cedarwood and resinous amber grounds the blend. It works beautifully for casual daytime wear during the warm transitions of spring and early summer.
