By the editors · 2 min readEmpressa Eau de Parfum is the original Empressa with the lights turned up. Blood orange, mandarin, and bergamot open bright and a little sticky — fruit-juice citrus, not zest — and a dewberry tartness pulls the opening away from straightforward sweetness.
The heart is dense and pretty: peach and black currant against rose and neroli, with cardamom, nutmeg, and pink pepper laid across to keep the flowers from going saccharine. There is a recognizable patisserie quality, but the spices keep arguing with it. Provenzano hands the dessert one cigarette to hold.
The base goes warm and clinging — patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, and a thread of olibanum smoke — anchored by a plush musk. Long-lasting and projecting strongly for the first three hours, then settling close. Cold weather, dressed-up nights.
