D&G Anthology L'Empereur 4 is a masculine eau de parfum from Dolce & Gabbana, launched in 2009. It opens with Iris, Bergamot and Amalfi Lemon.

Scent story
This is an emperor in a linen shirt. Iris, bergamot and Amalfi lemon open powdery and bright — refined, almost austere — and then Virginia cedar and water notes cool it down, like a palace with the windows open to the sea. It smells like power that doesn't need to raise its voice. Tobacco, sandalwood and musk dry it down warm and smooth, the tobacco a whisper of something richer underneath. It's regal but relaxed. The most understated thing Dolce & Gabbana ever made. Beginner-friendly.
