Thanks to Lifestyle Perfumes, you can have the force with you in lightsaber-inspired bottles that house three different scents — two men’s colognes and a women’s perfume. The colognes are named “Empire” and “Jedi;” “Empire” is [for the bad boys](http://time.com/4129579/adam-driver-masters-dark-side-star-wars-the-force-awakens/) of the galaxy, supposedly evoking “an aura of masculinity and power” as well as the “dark side of the Force” while “Jedi” captures “swaggering, fearless flair” with “sensual notes of musk and sandalwood.” The women’s perfume is called “Amidala” and was inspired by the Queen of Naboo’s “royal elegance as well as her strong indomitable will,” and like any galactic woman will appreciate, the fragrance has a “sovereign seductive aura for any situation by day and by night.” Unfortunately the perfumes are only available in Europe, so unless you’re planning on hopping the pond, you can satisfy yourself with reading about the fragrances (and their very detailed descriptions) on the [Lifestyle site](http://lifestyleperfumes.eu/en/news-2.html). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4368362/star-wars-lightsaber-fragrances/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4368362/star-wars-lightsaber-fragrances/"},"headline":"This Star Wars Perfume Will Let You Smell Like Queen Amidala","datePublished":"2016-06-14T16:35:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:44:39.559Z","description":"Also available in Jedi and Empire scents","url":"https://time.com/4368362/star-wars-lightsaber-fragrances/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","beauty","Star Wars"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4368362/star-wars-lightsaber-fragrances/","name":"This Star Wars Perfume Will Let You Smell Like Queen Amidala"}}]}] ```
