PARFUM D'EMPIRE Musc Tonkin Extrait de Parfum 50 ml An erotic, powerful, addictive call... a warm, feline, vaguely leathery scent. This elixir reinvents in a new and contemporary style the sweetest note in perfumery, revered for millennia: Tonkin musk. More than a simple fragrance, a footprint... The Chinese have appreciated it since ancient times for its aphrodisiac virtues. Its scent is considered celestial by Islam, so much so that it was mixed into the mortar of some mosques that would exhale it into the air. It was so penetrating that ships loaded with tea refused to transport it for fear that it would impregnate their cargo... Tonkin musk, produced by a Himalayan deer, was one of the most precious ingredients available to the perfumer: it introduced a sensual aura into his mixtures that fixed and exalted every other essence. Abandoned for ethical reasons, natural musk continues to obsess perfumers because nothing has ever managed to replace it perfectly. It is to capture this fascinating ghost that Musc Tonkin reinvents it by mixing the most precious raw materials to evoke its infinite facets. Their names do not matter: like the mysterious magnetism of certain people who drag us in their wake, Musc Tonkin should be experienced more than described. Vibrant, multifaceted, surprising, both nocturnal and sunny, this aphrodisiac potion is different on each skin, to better enhance it. A pinch of salt to give flavor to the skin. An inebriating floral breath to remind us that perfume unites our body to the erotic call of nature. A liqueur-like fluid, of cooked fruit that contrasts with a light and delicate veil of face powder... Sticky like honey, melting and malleable like the most precious leather. Musc Tonkin, to rediscover the centuries-old tradition of love elixirs. To reinvent natural musk, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato used a secret and particularly complex blend that features, among others, a surprising extract of African stone* but also flowers with animalic nuances such as tuberose, osmanthus, ylang ylang... *African stone absolute, an extraordinary extract Stones, also called hyraceum, are natural and semi-fossil, of both organic and mineral origin. Since ancient times, they have been used as such or in the form of extracts and their use has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries (the ancient Egyptians already used it in the Pharaonic Era). African stone absolute resinoid is a brown or brown-amber solid paste. Its very intense scent is reminiscent of castoreum and is slightly phenolic. The note animale It is very persistent. This product can therefore be used in perfumery as a fixative. * Taken from the publication “L'absolue de pierre d'Afrique”, S. Lavoine, N. Baldovini, X. Fernandez, L.
