PARFUM D'EMPIRE Vetiver Bourbon EDP 50 ml Vetiver Bourbon by Parfum d'Empire is a material perfume that enhances the wild nature of the precious essence. Here, vetiver takes on its innate strength and virility. Although it has long characterized men's fragrances, in an educated, urban and softened form, in Vétiver Bourbon, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato frees it, bringing it back to its original elegance. That of a material that, in its raw state, is a perfume in itself, unique and contrasting. Vétiver Bourbon enhances the earthy nature of this essence, here dosed to the maximum, intertwining it with that of two roots. Angelica, herbaceous, musky, peppery, dotted with cloves from Madagascar. And the delicately woody Iris, enriched by the clarity of ambrette seeds. Top notes: Angelica, Ambrette Heart notes: Iris Butter, Vetiver Base notes: Vetiver EDP 50 ml

PARFUM D'EMPIRE Mal-Aimé EDP 50 ml Mal-Aimé by Parfum d'Empire, from the French means “unloved” referring to the mauvaises herbes the weeds. Spontaneous plants, carefree, perennial, untamable. Despised and banned in perfumery. Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, drawing from his deepest emotions gives voice to one of the most common plants in Corsica but also one of the rarest because it is totally new to the world of perfumery: the Inula Odorosa. Inula graveolens for botanists – widespread throughout the Corsican scrub, it is characterized by its yellow flowers. Its essential oil, as the hours pass, unfolds wildly generous facets with herbaceous scents, but also sweet like honey. A sunny perfume like the color of its flowers, but also woody, salty, musky like the surrounding nature. Around this beautiful and unknown rebel, there is a retinue of all the unloved – thistles, nettles, brambles and roots – that Marc-Antoine Corticchiato calls upon to celebrate, once again, his native Corsica. Mal-Aimé by Parfum D'Empire is a disruptive, avant-garde, never-before-smelled fragrance… naturally noble. Unquestionably iconoclastic. A perfume like no other.

PARFUM D'EMPIRE Azemour Les Oranges EDP 50 ml This fresh and timeless chypre plays on the different facets of the orange: the sparkling peel and the sunny pulp of the fruit, the dark green of the leaves, the honeyed sweetness of the flowers, the strength of the wood. But the word “amour” that nestles in AZEMOUR also expresses the perfumer's deep love for the land where he was born and this fragrance is an evocation of the landscapes of Morocco, with its dunes, green expanses and orange groves... The golden light of the Moroccan Atlantic coast pervades the top notes of AZEMOUR, a blend of sparkling citrus dominated by orange peel and pulp, immersed in tangerines, mandarins, grapefruits and citrus fruits. Coriander, cumin, black pepper and rose add vibrant notes to this explosion of fragrances, while blackcurrant and galbanum embrace it to form a nest of dark green leaves. The heart notes of AZEMOUR, instead, disclose the freshness of neroli, made intense by geranium, enriched by the honeyed fragrance of orange blossom essential oil and the delicately spicy aroma of rose. The extracts of hay, musk and henna evoke the scent of dry grass that recalls the heat of the day among the orange groves. The woody notes draw the wavy profile of cypress trees moved by a breath of Atlantic wind. A light nuance with a salty taste evokes the dunes shaped by the ocean spray... AZEMOUR, timeless elegance in the Kingdom of Morocco... What Marc-Antoine Corticchiato expresses in the fragrance of paradise is the love for the land where his family planted their roots. A paradise lost and found through the alchemy of perfumery... A tribute to Azemmour, one of the oldest cities in the Kingdom of Morocco, a place of Muslim and Jewish pilgrimage. A tribute to his parents' orange groves and his long horseback rides, through a land that extends along the Wadi Oum Er-Rbia, to the ocean... AZEMOUR, the scent of a landscape, generous and sunny like the land that inspired it. Top Notes: Orange, Mandarin, Mandarin, Grapefruit, Coriander, Cumin, Black Pepper, Rose. Heart Notes: Neroli, Geranium, Orange Blossom Essential Oil, Rose. Base Notes: Hay Extracts, Musk and Henna. EDP 50 ml

PARFUM D'EMPIRE Salute! EDP 50 ml Salute, as they toast on the island, pays homage to the Corsican vineyards with a fresh eau that combines grape marc extract with citrus fruits and volatile musks. Sparkling and intoxicating. The story... Salute! A tribute to the sunny wines of Corsica, to the generosity of this land and the welcome of its winemakers, Salute! takes its name from the traditional toast of the island. More than a literal illustration of wine and grapes, we find here all the spirit of a gathering of friends in the shade of the vineyards that Marc-Antoine Corticchiato distils in this summer fragrance. Essences of Corsican citrus fruits - lemon, grapefruit and mandarin - warm and inebriate the spirits like the first invigorating sip of a Mediterranean wine served chilled. Then a fig leaf accord reveals the rosé and eaux-de-vie facets of a grape marc extract, grape skin - perhaps the highest percentage of this precious material ever used in a perfume. Hints of terroir, the smell of a cellar with oak barrels lined up to age and hints of iris and powdery musk in the angels' share, SALUTE! celebrates the earth and its fruits. A mirage... A celebration. To be used immoderately! Top notes: Lemon, Mandarin and Grapefruit Heart notes: Wine Lees, Vine Leaves and Iris Base notes: Musk, Oak and Oakmoss EDP 50 ml

MARC ANTOINE BARROIS Encelade EDP 100 ml “A radical, committed and flamboyant perfume” Encelade is another imaginary world of Marc-Antoine Barrois. A mythological dream... the illusion that the lava of a volcano has exploded into a lush and benevolent jungle from the underworld; the vertigo of a man who, after having glimpsed the abyss of the Earth, is suddenly enlightened by a new hope, transporting himself from the world of night to life. Encelade is inspired by the discovery of Enceladus (written Encelade in French), a natural satellite of Saturn, discovered in 1789. This planet, covered with snow, ice and fresh water but with a heated inner core, gives rise to the idea that one day Enceladus could be covered with green jungle offering a new future, a new planet, a new universe. ENCELADE is also inspired by the mythological figure of Enceladus, son of Gaia (the Earth) and Uranus (the Sky), whose strength and power was overthrown by Athena, worshipped Goddess of Wisdom and War. Legend has it that Encelade is buried under the lands of Sicily and that it still breathes through the fumes and eruptions of the Etna volcano. The mythological figure embodies power, rebellion, character and the satellite instead embodies freshness, softness and purity. Olfactory: Rhubarb, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Cedarwood.

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.
