D & G L'Imperatrice Eau de Toilette
Price:  $65 for 3.3 fl. oz.

Description: L'Imperatrice (The Empress) is part of The D & G Anthology of five Tarot-inspired fragrances. "L'Imperatrice is a confident, charismatic, boundary-shattering blend with a top of rhubarb, kiwi accord, and red currant; a heart of pink cyclamen, watermelon, and jasmine; and a base of musk, sandalwood, and grapefruit wood. The impression channels a successful, compelling character that is neither male, nor female, nor unisex, moving with dynamism to the free, edgy style that marks the D&G fashion empire. "

Review: I personally feel that this is a very feminine fragrance, as it is almost entirely a fruity/floral mix of scents. It is sweet, without any musky undertones, nor are there hints of sandalwood (I'm not a fan of either). I would probably describe it as flirty and sensual.

PROS: The scent is amazing! I've had people comment on how much they like it, including the boyfriend :) The bottle design is simple yet elegant. Decent price, although I waited to get mine until the 20% off sale at Sephora inside JC Penney's!

CONS: The scent doesn't seem to last that long on my skin. The lid isn't very cute--it doesn't seem to go with the rest of the packaging, because it looks a bit cheap.

Overall, I think this is a great fragrance. I don't mind reapplying throughout the day, and would definitely repurchase it.

I agree. I LOVE THIS SCENT!!! I find it femenine, simple yet sophisticated and I've had people (including 1 gentleman) asked me what I am wearing. I do hate that the scent does not last. At the beginning I thought it was my body chemistry but after doing some research online, I found out everyone experiences the same problem. D&G should definitively try to improve the staying power on this fabulous scent.
