Empressa Eau de Parfum

Empressa Eau de Parfum, composed by Christian Provenzano for Penhaligon's in 2018, is a feminine fragrance in which spice and sweetness share the lead, with most people also noting flowers and citrus, and smaller groups wood and amber.

The opening is bright and fruity: mandarin orange, blood orange, bergamot and neroli give a juicy citrus, while peach, dewberry and black currant add soft, tart fruit. Pink pepper, black pepper, cardamom and nutmeg bring a lively, warm spice. The heart includes rose and geranium for a soft floral note. The base is rich and sweet: cocoa and cacao pod give a chocolate-like depth, vanilla and maltol a caramel sweetness, frankincense a light smoke, and sandalwood, patchouli and amber a warm finish.

Empressa suits autumn and winter, evenings and special occasions, for a woman who enjoys spiced, fruity gourmands with a regal, warm character.
