Empress in Bloom

Empress in Bloom is inspired by the extraordinary story of Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history. Born into a modest family with a merchant father, she rose through sheer determination and unparalleled ability, breaking the barriers of a male-dominated society. Her legacy left an indelible mark on history, including the revolutionary implementation of the imperial examination system, which shifted the selection of officials from hereditary succession to merit-based opportunities for the talented common people. The scent of Empress in Bloom is designed to embody Wu Zetian's beauty, strength, and profound depth. It begins with the sweet and delicate notes of Honeysuckle, reminiscent of her eloquence and sharp intellect, blended with the brightness of Sweet Orange and Peach, symbolizing youthful ambition and energy. At its heart lies the majestic Peony, her favorite flower, representing her grace and regal splendor. This is paired with Osmanthus, a flower that signifies good fortune and virtue in Chinese culture, and Orange Blossom, which adds a radiant, hopeful touch. The fragrance concludes with the warmth and depth of Mate and Amyris, evoking her steadfast resilience, complemented by the soft yet enduring essence of Oakmoss and Musk, symbolizing the harmonious balance of gentleness and authority Top: Honeysuckle, Sweet Orange, Peach Heart: Peony, Osmanthus, Orange Blossom Base: Mate, Amyris, Oakmoss, Musk
