- Fresh on freshEmpressa Eau de Parfum brings citrus; Love the way you Taste brings green and aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadCitrus, fresh spicy, woody and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Empressa Eau de Parfum in spring and Love the way you Taste in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Empressa Eau de Parfum is moderate on both, Love the way you Taste moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEmpressa Eau de Parfum first, then Love the way you Taste over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
