Empressa - Eau de parfum Chypré

Long lasting and very subtle

All time favourite, brought already twice

Gives me nostalgic vibes

This is quite a mature fragrance. There’s only a slight powdery sweetness on me and the rest is warm, woody and almost spicy. Despite those notes I can pick out on my skin, it’s still a very feminine fragrance. I think this is because of the floral. Though on me it doesn’t pull too rosy/floral. I like it though. I get a vintage feel when I wear it and there’s definitely something familiar about it. I feel like my mum might have worn something similar in the 90s. It smells like the perfume section of an airport when I was a child. (Probably me spraying everything) but in a good way. Yes, it’s definitely not a modern/young fragrance, but if you want to smell “grown up” then this is a great one. I think gone are the days where I would spray myself in Britney Spears “Fantasy” perfumes - far too sweet for me. Haha.
