Parfum d'Empire - Un Bel Amour d’Été

Eternal love. The feeling of having met the love of your life. Crazy passion against a backdrop of blue waves, hot, glistening skin embracing on warm sand, exuding the scent of white flowers and their animal notes.

Eternal summer. How do you capture the intense power of this sun-kissed idyll in a bottle? How do you translate a season of beachtime pleasures that engage all the senses? Marc-Antoine Corticchiato has created the ultimate beach fragrance, infusing it with the exquisite natural ingredients he so masterfully combines in his compositions.

Eternal blossoms. Delicate flower crowns exude sensual scents that blend skin and petals, imbued with sun-kissed eroticism. The round, milky gardenia is at the heart of the fragrance. It is accompanied by a radiant magnolia blossom essence with apricot nuances and the golden languor of ylang-ylang absolute.

 

Eternal sun. The rare and exotic tropical cousin of magnolia, champaca, lends this floral mirage the balsamic, jasmine-like and oily opulence of its absolute. Blonde vanilla from Madagascar conjures up golden skin. The essence of Indian sandalwood intensifies the creamy feel of the bouquet. Precious ambrette, a plant-based musk, casts its light on silky sand. The perfume blossoms on the skin in a sensual evocation of an unforgettable, beautiful summer love.

In the words of the perfumer

"First love, secret love, forbidden love... As I was working on a gardenia and magnolia accord, the scent of my most beautiful summer love suddenly came back to me. I thought I had lost her, but even though my love story only lasted one summer, her scent had left a lasting impression on me.

So I immersed myself in this smooth, sun-kissed note and imagined a summer of love on the beach. Moments of passion, as intensely crazy as they can be when you're young. When you have the incredible luxury of being carefree. When you feel that anything is possible, that there are no limits. Before you realise much later that what you experienced was un amour d'été, a beautiful summer love." – Marc-Antoine Corticchiato

Mehr über Parfum d'Empire

Parfum d'Empire was founded in 2003 by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, a Corsican who is both the owner and perfumer of the company.


Corticchiato was born in Morocco and spent his entire childhood and youth between the lemon fields of the Moroccan countryside and the Corsican forests near Cuttoli Corticchiato, where his family lives. He developed a passion for fragrances and aromas at an early age, and only his enthusiasm for horse riding could have seriously jeopardised his career as a perfumer.


Although a career as a competitive rider seemed almost inevitable, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato decided to study chemistry, graduating with a PhD (doctorate). But that wasn't enough: he went on to study at the renowned ISIPCA in Versailles, the place where the best perfume makers are trained. With this perfect starting point for a career as a perfumer, the foundation was laid for his own perfume house, Parfum d'Empire.


The bottle is a reference to the long, round container created in 1804 by Jean Marie Farina, which is suitable for storage in the shaft of a military boot. The glass is heavy and a laurel wreath shines on the golden cap. Corticchiato spent years conducting archival research to trace the scents of bygone eras. The resulting concept for his historically inspired perfumes was awarded a prize by the French Ministry of Research.
