    What do reviewers say about Empireo and Duet?

    Powdery florals don't usually come with this much warmth. Empireo starts delicate, almost airy, then settles into vanilla and amber that feels closer to skin than room.Empireo
    Sweet enough to pull you in. Leather enough to keep you there. The vanilla-tobacco suede accord doesn't play it safe, and that's exactly the point. If you want a fragrance that smells like it has.Duet
