What do reviewers say about Empressa and Mon Guerlain?
This is the fragrance for someone who's stopped apologizing for wanting to smell good. It's fruity, it's floral, it's unapologetically lush, and if you think that's a flaw.Empressa
Not another sweet vanilla. Mon Guerlain earns its sweetness from lavender's coolness cutting through the warmth, the herbaceous bite that keeps the vanilla from going flat.Mon Guerlain
