Details

The perfumer’s new tribute to his homeland was inspired by the moving scent that greets the returning traveler: the green, intense, facetted fragrance of lentiscus, a shrub that grows on the sunny slopes of Corsica, from the highlands to the Mediterranean seaside. A green landscape from top to bottom and in every shade, its sillage carries the smells of the mountain maquis. 

Furioso: the term, used as a direction in music, means to be played rapidly and with passion. Because Corsica, where Marc- Antoine Corticchiato has his roots, propels your eyes, your nose, your heart into overdrive. So when you’re close to bursting with sensations and emotions, you take to the serenity of the maquis.

Lentiscus is peppery, fruity, and aromatic, then earthy with mushroom overtones. It thrusts itself into the heart of Corsica Furiosa. Then the absolute takes over with the aromas of hay, blond tobacco, honey and straw accents, darkened with a tinge of licorice. A unique type of extraction, obtained through a special technique, adds wafts of resin, spices and leather that draw you deeper into the mountain

Why we're addicted: The vibrant greenery, energizing and impetuous, is a verdant burst built around lentiscus, an evergreen botanical that recalls the dramatic landscape of Corsica.

Brand Info:
Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, the nose and owner of Parfum d’Empire, believes that perfume is a quest, an exploration... of the emotional soul, the cerebral mind, the physical body and the unbridaled spirit. With a Ph.D. in the chemistry of perfume plants, his lab is his artistic medium and he has the rare privilege of total creative freedom.

His dream for Parfum d’Empire is that it is an invitation to conquer the realm of the senses. Combining an exuberant use of the finest precious ingredients with the feeling of balance that characterizes classic, grand French perfumery, he has developed The Scents of Conquest. To achieve this powerful idea, he goes back to the original sense of scent, from the earliest historical references and in every culture - seduction and sacred spirituality. Parfum d’Empire emphatically pushes the boundaries to excess to create this masterfully-crafted collection that leaves a vibrating impact.
