Oh you mighty empress! I love your melons!

I have known this perfume for a very long time, but I only fell in love with it NOW!

My first contact was about 10 years ago when I saw this beautiful bottle in the duty-free shop at the airport in Vienna. I chose it totally spontaneously for my flight and eagerly sprayed it on myself.

Flight, Virgin Mary, vacation, escaping everyday life - these became my very first associations with it.

After that, every few years, I would sniff it here and there when I was in a store, but I never had it in my own collection.

Now, 10 years later, I see it again in the store. Once again, like a curious child, I sprayed it on myself and the feeling of Virgin Mary and the airport came back to mind. This time, however, I took the scent home with me. Okay, not quite, I ordered it.

The scent is fruity, cheerful, sensual, fresh, and it awakens the empress in me. Yes, I may not wear it at the airport like back then, but I wear it when I want to feel truly alive, dynamic, energetic, and take off!

I don’t know how, but this scent awakens my energy reserves. After a tiring night with our 2 little ones (2 years and 7 months), I spray it on myself 2-3 times, put both in the sibling stroller, and off we go jogging! Yes, I think we have the decision every day, what do we want to get out of our day?! Does the whole day have to be sluggish just because the night was too?

Scents can have such an incredible impact on our mood. At least for me, a lot. (Yes, I’m crazy enough to wear perfume while jogging. lol)

The scent is zesty and colorful like a fruit salad, which some have already described here. Big juicy melon, fresh rhubarb, exotic kiwi, oh God, it’s amazing! I can already see summer!!!!! Pure energy and zest for life.

And the longevity is not to be underestimated; even though it is a fresh-fruity scent, my sports clothes still smelled of it the next day.

In my opinion, the price-performance ratio is just right.

The bottle is simple and straightforward but still somehow powerful & hefty. That’s exactly what I like so much.

For me, it’s the ultimate spring and summer scent!

Empress, you are wonderful. You bring out my best side. I shine, no matter how exhausting that night was again. I make the best of it, just as you make the best of my mood.

Thank you, Empress.

Are there people who jog WITHOUT perfume?? That's kinda funny.

From one mom to another, you speak to my soul with every word! I also love this scent. I spray it on every day, even if it's just for me and my child at home. Wishing you lots of energy and joy with your two ❤️

Ah, I always wear a fragrance everywhere. Of course, one that's suitable for the occasion, but without? Nope.
