Sean "Diddy" Combs launches a new women's perfume under his Sean John fragrance collection in 2011. Empress is the female equivalent of the I Am King fragrance from 2008.
„I created Empress for the woman who is powerful beyond all others. She is greater than a queen; she is the ruler of her universe", said Sean to wwd.
Created by IFF perfumers, Empress is designed as a crisp floral scent. The top notes are key lime pie accord, mandarin, star fruit and cranberry. The heart consists of raspberry, peony, passion flower, cardamom and ambrette seed, followed by notes of vanilla, sandalwood, crystallized caramel and second skin accord in the base.
The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml EDP and 200 ml scented body lotion.

I sampled this today and loved the opening, which was a fresh citrus after you peel the rind with a floral like bend to it. Different. The middle I could have done without- it became a little on the confectionary sweet side and I thought,"Oh no. Another Mariah Carey meets Curious." Fortunately the sweetness mellows out somewhat and it turns a little woodsy in the base.
I don't believe the promo for it, but then again I don't buy into that kind of thing anyway as this did not make me feel like I would rule the universe. Samsara and Opium-Yes. Empress-No.

I sampled this yesterday and to my surprise liked it quite a bit. Perhaps I should say that I wasn't impressed with Sean John's any other offerings for women so this was a pleasant surprise. Bottle, while nice looking, is rather masculine so I guess I was expecting something more masculine as well. It really isn't. I sprayed one pump on my hand and thought it was rather citrusy. After about a minute, zesty note went away and I was hit with key lime pie. Mmmm, nice. At that point, I was really liking it. It continued to develop into sweet lime pie scent with some caramel at the base notes.
I would have never guessed that this has so many floral notes because it doesn't smell floral at all, neither I don't get anything remotely masculine about this scent, unlike other reviewers. I also don't see this as unisex scent all
Key Lime pie with some cream and mandarins on top is what I get. Lasting power was about an hour so I will have to sample it again to see whether the lasting power improves.

wanted to love this so much but kinda came off smelling a little like a household cleaner :-( but I still think Sean John makes great scents.

I am a bit perplexed with empress. Its very unique! I can see the connection with cool water for women and with a "mens cologne". I would never guess a celebrity would put something out like this. It fresh, zingy, masculine, feminine, and so much more. I DO NOT like masculine scents on myself, yet i find myself craving a bottle of empress...maybe at a good price:) very well done!

Didn't wanna like this - since I'm not a fan of Puffy - but it's nice. I get the citrus, wood, and powder notes.

I sniffed this from the bottle and sprayed it on paper. To me, it's very cologne like and extremely musky.

The scent is not what I expected. I imagined Empress to smell dynamic and diva-like, but suprisingly encountered a sweet orange, citrus fragrance with a dry down that smelled remarkably similar to Davidoff's Cool Water for women.
Its effervescent fragrance smells like something you would wear to a beach party.

I am obsessed with I AM KING & Unforgivable. I just saw an advertisment for this & had no idea he was releasing a new fragrance. I need to smell this ASAP

Smelled this at Macy's today and it smells just like I AM KING by Sean John. I dunno if that means I Am King is really femminine or Empress is really masculine. It smelles like a tad lemony or orangeish like I AM KING. Both are sweet citrus scents. Putting them both on 1 arm I don't think I could really tell the difference
