Dolce & Gabbana L'Imperatrice 3 Eau de Toilette

Dolce & Gabbana L'Imperatrice 3 is a prominent floral aquatic fragrance that debuted in 2009 as part of the D&G Anthology collection. Originally inspired by tarot cards—specifically The Empress—the scent is characterized by vibrant notes of kiwi, watermelon, and pink cyclamen. Historically, the brand's beauty licenses were managed by external giants such as P&G Prestige and later Shiseido.

However, in a significant strategic shift that concluded in early 2023, Dolce & Gabbana brought its beauty operations entirely in-house. This move led to the creation of Dolce & Gabbana Beauty S.r.l., allowing the Italian fashion house to maintain direct control over product development and creative direction. While the fragrance has traditionally been manufactured in France, the brand has increasingly shifted focus toward "Made in Italy" production for its newer beauty lines and relaunches to align with its core heritage. As of 2026, the brand remains independently owned by its original founders through their consolidated holding structure, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining the label's Italian identity and luxury positioning.
