3 FleursAnimalic Floral Eau de Parfum

3 Fleurs by Parfum d'Empire is a floral animalic musk eau de parfum, unisex, created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato. Three flowers on the same level, and nothing else in the heart.

A perfumer's house, and a return to Corsica

Parfum d'Empire is a French house founded and composed by a single man, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato: he is both its founder and nose, and signs the entire catalog. Its formula can be summed up in one sentence — perfume is a quest, perfume is an exploration — and the house claims a return to the primary meaning of perfume, that of seduction and spirituality. The catalog is divided into two: the Signature Collection and the l'Héritage Corse Collection, which brings the house back to the perfumer's island of origin.

An opening of galbanum and mint leaf

The galbanum opens with a sap green, bitter and sharp, that of a snapped stem. The mint leaf adds a clean freshness. Two green materials, and not a flower: the entrance does not look at all like what follows.

A heart of rose, jasmine and tuberose

The three flowers arrive together. The rose opens the bouquet with a pure and high note; the jasmine, picked at dawn, unfolds its fruity and animalic facets; the tuberose brings its intoxicating power. The house gives each of them a role: passionate love, romantic love, forbidden love.

A base of white musks

A single accord closes the perfume: a cocktail of white musks, clean, powdery and close to the skin. Nothing else — no wood, no resin, no vanilla to thicken.

The house's gesture

A great floral usually piles up six or eight flowers to compose a bouquet. 3 Fleurs poses exactly three, all on the same level, and frames them with the minimum: two green materials at the head, musks in the base. The perfume therefore has neither transition nor decor — we hear the three flowers against each other, which the house compares to three voices telling three stories.

For whom, for what occasions?

For those who love frank white flowers and are looking for a floral without sugar or wood. It is a spring and summer perfume, wearable day or night, with good longevity and a wide sillage. 3 Fleurs Parfum d'Empire will appeal to those who want flowers and nothing else.
