III L'Impressio

I bought it last month and have it sit for few weeks. Upon the package arrival, I sprayed it on my wrist and I immediately got a floral burst, light, bright, and enjoyable smell. I can't stop smelling my wrist for the next hour. But then after macerated it for few weeks, the scent has shifted a bit. Now it's more fruity floral, with a fresh watermelon in the opening then turned into kinda rosey, watermelony infused water. Refreshing floral aquatic scent!! It's now become my go-to fragrance for the office or any daytime occasion. Living in a tropical climate, I've noticed it doesn't last long on my skin due to the humidity, so I have to respray it every 2-3 hours as it fades away quickly on my skin. However, it lingers well on clothes, which is why I prefer to spray it there. Its projection is moderate, but still can leave a bit trail as you walk by (note: only during 1st hour tho). Overall, I'm okay with the weak longevity and reapply it 2-3x a day, it's so cheap anyway!

Absolutely amazing! I was reading the other reviews saying how similar it is to the original. I had it in my cart for a long long time. I told myself that it was worth giving it a try. I wasn't going to try a dupe for the original because at this point the price really isn't that bad. You can pick up a bottle for under $50. But I bit the bullet. So so so glad that I did! It smells exactly like the original. I dare to say it smells a little better? Almost like this is what the original was trying to be. Nonetheless, I will be buying another bottle or two just to have in my stash. This is one of my go-to scents. I also don't understand the notes, strawberry and watermelon. It really does give me grapefruit feel. But maybe it's just me.

When I got this it wasn’t bc of its inspiration, it was bc of another fragrance in this scent profile I had gotten. I have several with this profile bc I love them. This was perfect in our 90+ humidity. I left a trail and it was never cloying. I wore to Summer day parties, it lasted all day. I wore out for the night, she lasted until morning. The fruits last throughout the wear, they blend so beautifully with the florals, and then out of no where the soft smell of smoke sneaks a peak. The performance was pretty good out of the box, but now she is like that steady friend you can always depend on. A very easy reach that can carry work, casual, or a night out. I smile a lot while wearing this when I catch a whiff, ahh😊 20/10

Wow! I wore this on one arm and the current version of the OG at Sephora and could not detect any difference over the entire wear. Both are long lasting for a fragrance like this- about 7 hours. I think this one started to fade maybe an hour before the OG, but I don’t know for sure that I sprayed equal amounts. Like someone said earlier, the OG is reasonably priced so I almost didn’t get this, but I needed to add something small for free shipping. So glad I did! If you love D&G L’Imperatrice, you will love this. Reviews that are calling the new latafdah fragrance a dupe are incorrect - they are nothing alike after the opening. Get this one!

Nose Note #1004 I'm comparing this to Fragrance World 3 L'Emperesse. If you don't compare them side by side it's as if there's no difference. And from memory they both smell identical to the OG. But among the two I like L'Impressio better, because it has a noticeably fruitier base, whereas L'Emperesse is more ozonic and soapy. That's all I have to say. You still get the same experience as with the OG, and the performance on all three is about the same, i.e. not fantastic, but OK for a summer fragrance. I guess Tamima is still the best choice because you get the same with but with absolutely immaculate presentation. 7.8/10, I love the OG
