Beautiful long lasting scent
I can’t believe how lovely this smells, the scent is so long lasting and strong, but not to overwhelming, the smell lasts all day long. Everyone always comments how nice I smell! Even complete strangers have asked what I am wearing , if you want a long lasting scent I highly recommended this it may have a higher price but honestly it is worth the extra money
by guest
Smelt nice
I got the empressa eau de perfum to try and found it smelt nice. It has a really nice light fragrance that wasn’t over powering and seemed to last awhile. It’s not a perfume I would buy but still found it was nice
by guest
Gorgeous scent!
Absolutely love this scent! I love anything with vanilla undertones, but it’s not too sickly sweet. It also has subtle fruity scents too, making it a perfect everyday perfume. I’ve been complimented for it at work so would highly recommend!
by guest
Really lovely fragrance
I really like this scent, I chose it based on the notes of peach and vanilla, and it certainly ticks all the boxes for me. Not too overwhelming, it smells sweet but not sickly, soft but still vibrant. Highly recommend it for something out of the ordinary!
by guest
The fragrance is really elegant
It is a beautiful fragrance that is both elegant and sophisticated. The top notes of blood orange, bergamot, and mandarin are bright and refreshing, while the heart notes of jasmine, rose, and heliotrope are soft and floral. The base notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and musk add warmth and depth to the fragrance. It is perfect for special events, but it is also lovely for everyday wear

Nice Perfume
I’ve tried this perfume at first I wasn’t to Shore about it but it’s grown on me it’s not to heavy lasts all day I’ve also had people asking me what I’m wearing and saying how nice it smells I would reccomend this perfume
by guest
Nice
This is a really beautiful product. Gorgeous dark green colour, bottle and branding is all luxe and would make a great gift. It’s a nice scent but truthfully not my favourite ever. Again, it is nice - I’m not chucking the bottle away or anything but I wouldn’t say it’s a showstopper
by guest
Great Scent
Very nice scent to this Eau de Parfum, subtle but lasting, my husband really enjoyed it.I would highly recommend and definitely worth the price for the full bottle. My next christmas list item is now decided.
by guest
Musky and Sultry
What a scent! A couple of sprays of this last the whole day and remain true to scent. For me this perfume is deep, musky and sensual. Penhaligon's perfume is renowned for being high quality and unique and Empressa certainly does not disappoint.
by guest
Beautiful deep scent
It’s a really deep rich scent. It might feel bit heavy on the beginning, but it grows and reveals more delicate tones. It’s smells like a rich oriental fruit. It’s warm and hard to forget. Scent last on skin for very long, I can smell it on clothes after wash!I’ve received so many compliments since wearing it. It’s not everyone cup of tea, but if you like deep and rich scents, this is great choice
by guest
Long lasting perfume
I found this perfume very strong, rich and long lasting. I would say it was more of a night out perfume and it definitely has the lasting power. Even after having a shower I could still smell it! The smell was abit too strong for me but that's my taste, I prefer lighter, fruity and vanilla scents
by guest
Nice and fresh
This is a great day de parfum, hints of peach and vanilla. The scent lasts for a long time therefore a little goes a long way. Great as an every day, however equally would be great for any occasion. Would recommend
by guest

by guest
Lovely floral scent
Amazing new floral scent which lasted all day and gave me a lot of compliments. Not too over powering but found a few sprays would last all day and still smelt so nice. Nice brand, perfect for every day use or special occasions
by guest

by guest
Luxurious
It’s a perfume that makes a statement of power ,confidence and luxury. Makes you feel like you’re able to do anything in your life. Lasts really long time on the skin and clothes.Night time scent more likely.

Empressa ea da perfum
This is something I have tried for the first and it smells good. It’s a long lasting and you can smell it in your clothes for ages. It has a nice flowery and sweet smell it’s a brand I would look into any but for myself and as a gift.
by guest
Great fragrance
My wife tried this for the first time recently. This is a sweet and sophisticated scent. Patchouli and vanilla are in this lovely fresh fragrance. This is well worth every penny of its price. My wife hasn't smelled anything quite like this for some time. It's a head turner but it doesn't overpower, it lingers but in a light and lovely way. If you are looking for a gift, or a treat you will not go wrong with this.
by guest
Stunning
Fruity woody elegant, just the perfect scent. Perfect for any occasion, it's a scent that lasts all day. Not too overpowering I found that I only had to spray it once for a lasting smell. Lots of compliments and alot of people asking what I'm wearing, a scent that is loved by many. This would make the perfect gift, it's a very special scent.
by guest
Great scent
I have tried Empressa Eau de Parfum first time, and I can easily say that it is high-quality fragrance, and it doesn’t disappoint you. Its smell is simply unique, and long-lasting. This scent brings good vibes for the evening and a party. Highly recommended and good value of money
by guest
Beautiful and classy!
I love this! When you initially put this on you get orange peach and a slightly weaker rose. After it settles onto yohr skin it becomes less 'fruity' and with more rose on top. So it starts quite strong and fruity but becomes less sweet. I find it to be soft, feminine and very classy! Its probably a more evening out perfume but I am more than happy to wear it at any time of day or night!
by guest
Penhaligon
Wow. I wore this on a night out and got so many compliments! The perfume is beautiful. Dries down so nice. Smells amazingly fresh and clean. Lasts for hours. Definitely worth the price for the long lasting perfume. It’s one of my favourites now
by guest
Lovely scent!
This is a very beautiful fragrance. It is warm but uplifting. I love the dried down peach note. It is perfect transitional scent from summer into autumn, then party into the festive seasons. To be honest, I wasn't a fan when I first tried it but this just grew on me!
by guest
Lovely
This has a lovely scent which is very overpowering too which i love i like my fragrances strong, lasts long too all day and night, i got alot of compliments whilst wearing this scent i would recommend
by guest
Lovely smell
I really loved this perfume, its has a lovely fresh smell.i the smell stay for a long time.. I get the nice compliment when I used this , so I buy this perfume.ideal to give as a present. Good quality
by guest
Surprisingly nice!
Based on the fragrance notes, I didn't expect to enjoy this perfume as much as I actually did. There is a nice musky, woody base that pairs really well with the deep floral notes. The longevity is very good and it lasted for a decent while. It is captivating and unique, I can't think of a similar perfume to this which makes it a great signature scent. I got quite a few compliments when wearing this throughout the day. I would definitely categorise it as an evening/party fragrance though. I also get more mature vibes from this perfume so I could see it being a good gift for an older woman.
by guest
Beautiful soft scent
Smells beautiful this perfume, not too strong and subtly sweet. It's a softer scented fragrance, with a peachy/ vanilla-y smell to it. Can be worn at all times of the day as its not too overpowering. It also lasts quite a long time too so need to keep reapplying all the time.
by guest
Smells lovely
Got a sample of this perfume to try as I find that some perfumes don’t suit my skin so rather than buy the bigger one I get samples first and this one smells lovely on me it has that woody smell with citrus smells intwined with it and I love it
by guest
So rich and long lasting
I love penhaligon's products as they are high end and desirable but unfortunately this particular scent wasn't for me. But I wouldn't let this purchasing in the future as I do absolutely love their products.
by guest
empressa eau de parfum
Received from tryitsampling for honest review. nice fancy packaging very royal style colours and name very sweet smell and lasted afew hours would need a bigger sample next time to judge more better but good overall!
by guest
Beautiful!
This eau de parfum smelt fresh, fruity and floral.. As you'd expect, the perfume lasted a long time which was convenient. It's a classic perfume that can be worn equally during the day and in the evening.
by guest
Pleasant fragrance
Strong but pleasant fragrance. Quite strong when first spraying onto your skin, but it settled quite quickly amd became a light but noticeable fragrance. The scent Lingered for a while and could still be smelt, albeit subtly later on.
by guest
Lovely
Ok, so this isn’t my usual taste in perfume scents. However, this is lovely. I have had many compliments from the scent. The mix of peach and vanilla is gorgeous. I was unsure of the blood orange but it adds class to the scent. It lasts all day too!
by guest
Strong fragrance
I have recently tried this fragrance and it's lovely. It has a quite strong floral fruity scent,so you don't need much and it last a long while. It is a very sophisticated luxury fragrance. I would recommend if you like stronger long lasting perfumes.
by guest
Wow
If I could put in a bottle a mix of sexy,dirty and yet sophisticated, it would be in this one - I absolutely love the fragrance and will beg you all to try it ! It is not for the shy ones as it screams lust !
by guest
Hmmm..
This perfume isn't your everyday kind of perfume its definitely one for special occasions. The first spray I was taken back by the pungent citrus scent but once it settled I was Pleasantly pleased with the overall smell of this perfume it does remind me of another scent that is also one of my firm favourites too. I would say this perfume is long lasting scent too and I would definitely purchase this perfume as a gift.
by guest
Stunning
I really love this scent. It is a very rich scent. It has notes of citrus and is a little fruity but also has a warm, rich scent to it as well. I would say it can be a unisex scent and easily worn by both women and men. It also lasts on your skin all day without being overpowering.
by guest
Nice smell
This perfume has a nice scent but I can’t really place it. It kind of smells like a department store perfume section where all the scents have blended together. It’s not to my personal taste as smells a little old for my age demographic.
by guest
Long Lasting Beautiful
Thanks to Tryit I was able to sample this product. This perfume has a very beautiful scent it is , noticeable but not a too intrusive scent. It also very long lasting I applied a little first thing in the morning and I could still slightly smell it 6 hours later.
by guest
Sweet yet sophisticated
I have worn this perfume twice this week and can confirm the scent lasts extremely well. I can still smell it even after applying over 8 hours ago. The scent is sweet and floral but not too girly. I have received many compliments.
by guest
This is my new favourite!
Wasn't too sure when first sprayed but really enjoyed the scent after a few minutes , it has a really nice sweet feminine smell which I have fallen in love with . I would highly recommend this product for anyone to try .
by guest
Lovely smell
Really enjoyed the smell of this perfume. It’s not one I have tried before but a little goes a long way. The smell lasted well with lots of compliments. I wouldn’t use it as an everyday one - more of a night out smell.
by guest
High quality scent

by guest
Lovely fragrance
Such a lovely fragrance that I received lots of compliments on. A little goes a long way and the smell lasts all day great bonus in my eyes. Soft scent that's not to over powering il definitely buy more
by guest
Just stopping for lunch in Rome vibes!
This summoned feelings of being in my favourite city. The scent only elevates opulent vibes. Such a pretty scent but leaves an air of class and confidence. Absolutely love it. Lasted all day, little went far. Couple of compliments which always perk up your day.
by guest
Nice scent.
Initially I wasn't too sure on this scent, but the longer it stayed on my skin, the more I liked it. It has peach, vanilla and orange scents to it, but I wouldn't say its a sweet scent. Also not a musky scent either. It kept its scent all day and actually smelt more fresh as the day went on. I would use this again.
by guest
Beautiful!
A beautiful eau de parfum with a fabulous sweet, floral scent with a wonderful warm undertone of amber, musk and sandalwood. I love it and found it lasted most of the day before I needed a light top up. Suitable for day or night. Although it does have a high price tag, you do get what you pay for, and this is an amazing quality fragrance.

Eau de parfum
This perfume smells absolutely gorgeous, it has a strong presence when you spray it and it lasts for hours. I have had several comments about how gorgeous I smell and what perfume is it ? I will definitely be asking my husband for some more of this perfume as I adore it .
