What do reviewers say about Empire and Alchimie?
A fruity-floral that doesn't apologize for being fruity-floral. The peach stays ripe and unapologetic throughout, never getting sanitized into 'fresh' or 'clean'.Empire
Alchimie is the fragrance equivalent of a couture ballgown. Unapologetically feminine, with a fruity opening that quickly surrenders to powdery florals and a sweet, woody finish.Alchimie
