Donald Trump Empire EDT in detail
Empire EDT is made by Donald Trump. Its strength is Eau de Toilette.
Its style
The strongest accord is green (100%), followed by amber and white floral. You will probably like it if you enjoy green and amber smells and notes like apple and musk. Less obvious notes include orange blossom and tonka bean. Perfume fans rate it 3.42 out of 5.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Roja Dove Roja Isola Blu is a lighter match.
Empire through the year
It is at its best in spring. It is less suited to winter. From best to least suited, the seasons are spring, fall, summer and winter.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Roja Dove Roja Isola Blu and Lancôme Variety last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and tonka are the part that stays longest on the skin.
What Empire costs
In Europe it costs about €33, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Roja Dove Roja Isola Blu and Roja Dove Roja Parfums Elysium Eau Intense.
