Empressa Eau de Parfum 100ml Women Private Collection (100ml)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first sprayed Empressa, the smell was really strong and I honestly didn’t like it. It felt too much and kind of heavy. But after a few minutes, it started to change and I was surprised how nice it became. The scent turned soft, warm, and very feminine. I could smell some sweet and fruity notes, mixed with something creamy and smooth. It felt more elegant the longer I wore it. Now I actually enjoy it a lot. It’s one of those perfumes that needs time to settle, so don’t judge it too quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the sun first came out of the sprayer, I thought it smelled a little old lady, but then I took a second to let it absorb to my pH and realize that it’s a very elevated and mature scent. So don’t let that deter you. I like the look of the packaging, it looks very expensive and it is very expensive and I feel like I felt regal wearing this perfume all day. It really does last all day. I got several compliments from people at work when I wore it to work a few times.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a complementary sample from Influenster. It smells heavenly and the scent does last all day. I did receive several compliments on the product. The scent last all day. It has a unique scent that I’ve never smelled before. The only problem was the sample was so small that I was only able to wear for maybe 2 days. A definite add to my collection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review - all opinions are my own. Surprisingly, I find Empressa to lean heavily towards unisex - it doesn’t come across as feminine to me and my immediate impression is of a light and fresh men’s fragrance. The patchouli notes are pleasantly subtle and I get the bergamot along with a tiny hint of vanilla, but peach is nowhere to be found for me. I tend to prefer scents that are considered traditionally feminine, so this one isn’t quite for me, but it is a lovely well balanced scent and would probably well great on just about anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To start off the design of the packaging is beautifully done. It gives luxury, elegance and sexiness in one. The presentation of the sample gives high end so I really appreciate that. The reason I have it 3 stars is because I am not a fan of the notes but if you appreciate bergamot and mandarin this is define for you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore this scent for a few days before writing a review. It has good staying power, not the entire day though. It has a strong scent with a lot of layers,but it mellows nicely. It's a little musky, vanilla, and floral all at once. It smells like a high end expensive perfume and it is overall a lovely fragrance!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent of royalty! Opens with a rose and fruit and lingers with a powdery patchouli and bergamot. Last for probably 5/6 hours with two spray. It's definitely a big scent in a small package. If i could envision what it smells like to be a wealthy queen, this is it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scent is very unique. It gives Arabic vibes but it’s not too sweet because usually I can’t wear a Arabic perfume because it’s too sweet, but this one is sweet enough, but you don’t feel bad and I actually like it.
