Almost good enough to drink!
L'Imperatrice is one of my absolute favorites for hot summer days. It's so fruity and refreshing, it feels almost thirst-quenching. I don't usually want to drink my perfumes, but this one tempts me.
The first blast is sweet watermelon, then rhubarb and kiwi join quickly. Those three fruit notes are the main notes of the fragrance. It's refreshing summer cocktail with a hint of sourness from the rubarb and a watery melon note, sweet and tart.
I love the fruit they chose for this one, as I love watermelon and rhubarb in general, and kiwi is somewhat original, not as overused as other fruits in perfumery. A very interesting mix.
The drydown consists of clean musk and a slight woody note plus the fruits. It kind of does smell like skin after showering with a high quality fruity body wash, but it's much better than your average shampoo/shower gel scent. Definitely doesn't smell like Fructis to me.
As usual for light and fruity scents that are more focused on the top notes, it's not the greatest performer ever. I don't mind all that much though. With these kinds of scents, respraying once or twice a day for a burst of freshness feels fun.
