What do reviewers say about Empressa and Baccarat Rouge 540?
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
This fragrance generates polarized reactions. The saffron note is polarizing on its own, but the ambergris and ambroxan combination creates a warm, almost hyperreal quality that some find synthetic.Baccarat Rouge 540
