What do reviewers say about Empire and Kuwait?
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
Bold projection and a pronounced animalic character mean this fragrance announces itself before you do. That confrontational quality is exactly the draw for those who want scent as statement.Kuwait
