Penhaligon's Empressa

Transported on the breeze of time to an era of exploration and daring adventure, Penhaligon's Trade Routes collection is infused with a variety of exotic ingredients that were brought to London's docks in the late 19th century.
The docks, known as repositories of treasures from all over the world, were filled with luxurious and fantastic riches, and the air around them was filled with a potpourri of different aromas. Tea, spices, silk, pearls, rum - all this could be found on board merchant sailing ships, which were subject to constant attacks by pirates and corsairs under the sharp gusts of tropical trade winds.
This rich collection invites you to travel to magical, distant lands.

Empressa
As one would expect from an empress, she travels in beauty: an abundance of shining pearls, mirrors and fine, elaborate silks. Like her scent, she leaves an enchanting and lasting impression, and her movements are elegant and full of grace. Flowers and fruits are exquisitely combined, and despite the sweetness, its aroma is light and unobtrusive. Middle Eastern damask rose adds a subtle touch of luxury, while sophisticated geranium and piquant pepper add brightness. The unfolding trilogy of blood orange, bergamot and ripe mandarin enchants like the attractive, radiant smile of an empress. The secret of the Empressa fragrance lies in the sensual depth of amber, patchouli bark and precious woods. She wears flawless, classic pearls and has a secret passion for luxurious silks and spicy spices. Its sensual, deep aroma impresses with its soft and elegant texture.
