A decant shows how that range works in your weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Lime, Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Tropical Fruits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Sicilian Orange, Ginger, Jasmine, Coconut Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Patchouli, White Musk, Tonka Bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA four-citrus opening\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLime, bergamot, mandarin orange and tropical fruits start Empire. That puts the citrus family in front, with a tropical edge from the fruits. Because all four seasons are listed, the first minutes are worth judging both on a warm day and a cold one, since air temperature changes citrus the most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrange, ginger and coconut water\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart brings Sicilian orange, ginger, jasmine and coconut water. A second orange, a spice and a light coconut note sit around a white flower. Coconut water is a gentler idea than coconut cream, and this is the stretch to watch if you usually avoid coconut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePatchouli, white musk and tonka\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatchouli, white musk and tonka bean make up the base. Patchouli gives the earth, white musk the clean cushion and tonka a soft sweetness. The tags call the whole perfume woody, so this is where that label comes from, and it is the part to set against the bright start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear one spray on bare skin and note the lime and bergamot first. Come back after a while for the ginger and coconut water, then at the end of the day for the patchouli and musk. Empire is tagged for daily, evening and sport use, so try it in at least two of those settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is listed as unisex and moderate, for daily wear, evenings and sport in every season. It suits people who like a clean, citrus-led perfume with a gentle tropical side and a woody base. If you look for a perfume with a clear gourmand or floral centre, the balance here may feel more aquatic than you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Mykonos Empire as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA perfume meant for all seasons has to prove itself in more than one kind of weather, and a decant lets you do that. Wear Empire through a few different days before you consider the 100 ml bottle. Each season brings out a different side of citrus, ginger and coconut water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Empire an aquatic perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tags list aquatic, citrus and woody, and the notes include coconut water and several citrus fruits.
