Every Empress needs her men! My first creation in the Victorian Romance genre was so captivating, that it only seemed fitting to create a companion masculine Victorian era blend. Starting with the same heart notes and base notes of the original Empress Eugenie's Nosegay formula, I added oakmoss, vetiver, and agarwood to the base, and bitter almond and ho wood to the top, and viola! Kingsmen was born. The first version was called L'Empereur. Kingsmen is more refined.
Kingsmen includes floral notes very common to masculine fragrances of the Victorian era, but they aren't dominant. The agarwood is an ingredient of antiquity, with a distinctive earthy leather note that works in harmony with the oakmoss, and they balance nicely with the bold gourmand top note of bitter almond.
The pair L'Empress and Kingsmen are intended to be enjoyed for the most intimate and luxurious enjoyments. buy But to be honest, I wear Kingsmen to work as often as any of the others in the collection!
This is a very limited edition 100% natural perfume - just a few bottles of this handcrafted artisan fragrance were made from the tonka and ambrette seed tinctures I created in 2015, which I aged until they were just right.
