What do reviewers say about Empire and Dolce Melodia?
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
It doesn't seduce quietly. Jasmine and gardenia lead with a creamy, almost narcotic sweetness that some find intoxicating and others find too much. That is the entire proposition, sweetness without.Dolce Melodia
