She is amazing! It's one of those perfumes where the notes are very well blended together, and you can't pick them apart too much, you can tell what's what, especially once you read out the notes, but once you smell it, it forms a life of its own. Personally, I perceive gourmand as something more literally foody and sweeter, so I wouldn't call Empress gourmand, but she is definitely a boss girl fragrance!
I am usually very sensitive to patchouli but it doesn't bother me at all here. The custom cap is very pretty too.
Summer beauty! Fresh green coconut with some fruitiness. I don't detect the mango by itself most of the time, but the coconut always has a mango fruity note with slight sweetness, like if you were to make a coconut + mango cocktail. And then the green from the palm leaves makes me think of drinking that cocktail on the beach. 10/10
At first when I got my sample I wasn't fully in love with it even though I liked it, but it really grew on me with time. I never smelled anything like it. Fresh, fruity, juice and green. Stunning!
Smells just like peppermint candy and I love the jar too. I like the other 2 more but I love this one too. That is totally personal preference since this one is more fresh, and the other 2 are more sweet, so of course my biases would lie there
I think this is my most favorite citrus fragrance I ever smelled. It is fresh but not sharp, and it is citrusy but creamy at the same time, and most of all - the citrus truly lasts. Gorgeous creation!
