10 perfumes in similar style to D&G Anthology L'Imperatrice 3 by Dolce&Gabbana

A delectable perfume inspired by oriental blends infused with flowers and spices. Musky leathery osmanthus and magnolia are blended into the dark background of black tea. There is also a candied lemon spark which is refreshing and sweet at the same time.

Silky citrus.

A particularly silky fragrance, where Pierre Guillaume transforms citrus acidity into a scented caress.

The kumquat-sandalwood accord seems infused with sunlight and bestows on the skin the charms of a melting creaminess, soft and fresh.

The Sniff on Sunsuality:
"[it] opens with a delicate white floral note, bolstered with a smooth citrus undertone. It doesn’t really matter if it is lemon blossom, or lemon and blossoms, either way the scent opens light, breezy, and expansive. It’s a transparent scent that conjures up images of white muslin curtains billowing in a Mediterranean breeze, all gauzy and floaty. The floral nuances are sweet, delicate, almost naive, whilst the lemon is sharper, sourer but never very aggressive."

Moonlight was commissioned by Brocard to Bertrand Duchaufour. It is the brand’s first experiment with an approach to perfume making as conceptual art and luxury.

To understand this perfume you need to ponder on the nature of monlight and the fact that it is only sunlight reflected off the lifeless satellite.

The perfume feels even more tender, a bit like the Moon’s reflection in a pond. The formula is a uniform gentle flow of cool spices, splashes of freesia, mimosa and iris interlaced with oakmoss and musk. It stays close to skin as if designed to be a to be a secret known only by the wearer.

The bottle deserves a separate mention, it's heavy crystal with exactly 57 facets, the same number you have in the classic diamond cut, the perfect number to capture light inside the crystal and to make it pulse within. 

You can actually spin the bottle (the base has been cut in a special way) to admire the play of light inside the moonstone coloured tincture.

The Mediterranean freshness of the essence, whose citrus notes are accompanied by the sensuality of damask rose, sublimating in sinuous oriental echoes, is inspired by the colour that has made the frescoes of Pompeian domes famous and unmistakable all over the world.

The pigment obtained from the mineral cinnabar, Rossopompeiano, emblem of a part of the history the perfumer Agatho’s city, becomes a perfume.

Perfumer: Marine Ipert

This perfume story is part of Brocard's fairy tale queens and princesses series.

King Princess would be a female character wielding a sword and wearing chain mail, doing everything a king would have done (winning wars, leading her army, being a wise ruler, etc.).

How do you reflect such a character in a perfume story? With firery spices, forged metal rose and glowing amber background. There is a soft vanilla touch through.

Rich, musky and powdery Besos (Spanish for kisses) has a big spicy jasmine sambac heart. The volatile carefree flower is anchored with earthy powdery iris  absolu and ambery benzoin.

Perfumer: Shyamala Maisondieu, the nose behind perfumes such as Velvet Orchid (Tom Ford), Incognito (Rouge Bunny Rouge), Terre de Lumiere (L`Occitane) among others.

The Sniff on Besos:

"... the heart of Besos is delicately and pleasantly floral. It has shades of both carnation and strawberry milkshake at times but it is never overpowering or too sweet. As it opens fully it becomes dry, powdery and almost a little old-fashioned. One can imagine a beautifully coiffed Edwardian lady smelling like this."

An aromatic, dreamy citrus scent inspired by the sumptuous Andalusician city of Marbella. With rose, amber and peach this perfume is fresh, floral and sophisticated.

A gentle transparent blend dedictated to the first virgin blooms waking up in spring - cherry blossom.

Perfumer: Olivier Cresp

A delicious, shimmering floral from a Maître Olivier.

The perfume is luminous and hypnotic like the moon reflected in the Mediterranean Sea.

Magnolia is resting on velvety woods.

An intense and bewitching velvety fragrance inspired by the precious and captivating damask rose.

Named after the Umayyad dynasty, Rose Omeyyade tells of the grandeur of the lavishly decorated Levant palaces. A resounding ode to sensuality and refinement that was once captured in 19th century orientalist paintings.

The woody and amber accords mark a unique and elegant creation.
