The Conquest of an Empire
Sawalef's 2018 Empire isn’t built on gimmicks. It is an autumn-warm, spicy seduction of an Eau de Parfum—phantom notes of apple and cinnamon, nutmeg, orange blossom, vanilla, patchouli, labdanum—all wrapped up in peeling white packaging that screams “I am Middle Eastern treasure.”
The scent itself may be somewhat linear in development and moderate in longevity and sillage but its charm is anything but flat and uninteresting. Each spritz of Empire is a day ticket to an addictive opening of florals and spices in a hug, and a dry down that mellows into woody, vanilla sweetness.
Though Empire hums of autumn and winter, one could wear it year-round with reckless abandon—it falls into the 'Khamrah' category. Just adjust your spray count and carry on conquering.
