Peach and plum brighten with citrus before generous gardenia and rose. Raspberry and vanilla bring a soft sweetness, supported by woods and patchouli.
Perfumer: Christian Provenzano
Empire
Soft peach and plum meet the brightness of Sicilian mandarin and bergamot in this generous floral fragrance. Pink pepper gives the sweetness a little definition before gardenia, magnolia, May rose and jasmine sambac unfold. The combination brings rounded fruit and full white flowers together.
A Floral Reading of Empire
The name connects to Queen Boadicea's stand against the Roman Empire, with the house imagining her strength as a flower blooming within the conflict. Its comparison to pavlova filled with vanilla cream captures the composition's lush, almost dessert-like sweetness. Raspberry and vanilla soften a foundation of patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver, while amber and white musk give the finish a gentler texture.
Bottle
The rounded 100 mL bottle has a golden-toned frosted surface, paired with a gold-coloured cap and shield. Intricate woven metalwork echoes the abundant layering of fruit and flowers in the scent.
