It evokes the sea through a \u003cstrong\u003eseaweed extract\u003c\/strong\u003e, rather than synthetic aquatic molecules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA perfumer's house, and a return to Corsica\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParfum d'Empire\u003c\/strong\u003e is a French perfume house founded and run by a single man, \u003cstrong\u003eMarc-Antoine Corticchiato\u003c\/strong\u003e: he is both its founder and nose, and creates the entire collection. Its philosophy can be summed up in one sentence — \u003cstrong\u003eperfume is a quest, perfume is an exploration\u003c\/strong\u003e — and the house claims a return to the true meaning of perfume: seduction and spirituality. The collection is divided into two: the \u003cstrong\u003eSignature Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003el'Héritage Corse Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e, which brings the house back to the perfumer's home island, from the seaside to the maquis and the mountains. The bottles in this collection feature a \u003cstrong\u003estylized Genoese tower\u003c\/strong\u003e, like those that have lined the Corsican coast since the Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn opening of juniper and aromatic notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuniper\u003c\/strong\u003e opens on a resinous, dry, and lively scent, that of the sun-heated maquis. Green \u003cstrong\u003earomatic notes\u003c\/strong\u003e accompany it. It is the land that speaks first, not the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA heart of seaweed extract, immortelle, and a salty marine accord\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeaweed extract\u003c\/strong\u003e is the central ingredient: the house says it has \u003cstrong\u003especially reworked it\u003c\/strong\u003e to bring out clear and salty facets. The \u003cstrong\u003esalty marine accord\u003c\/strong\u003e extends it, while \u003cstrong\u003eimmortelle\u003c\/strong\u003e — the yellow flower of the maquis — brings its spicy aroma. Water and land stand on equal footing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA base of oakmoss and mineral facets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOakmoss\u003c\/strong\u003e brings its green humus, \u003cstrong\u003ewoody notes\u003c\/strong\u003e provide structure, and \u003cstrong\u003emineral facets\u003c\/strong\u003e evoke the smell of rock. The house describes this base as moss-covered rocks, ochre like warm sand and like skin salted by the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house's approach\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe perfumer set himself an explicit constraint: \u003cstrong\u003eto express the sea in a way other than through synthetic aquatic molecules\u003c\/strong\u003e, which he considers overexploited today. His answer is a \u003cstrong\u003eseaweed extract\u003c\/strong\u003e, a plant-based rather than mineral ingredient, which provides a genuine saltiness rather than a fresh effect. The location is real: the \u003cstrong\u003eScandola\u003c\/strong\u003e peninsula, in western Corsica, is a nature reserve \u003cstrong\u003elisted as a UNESCO World Heritage site\u003c\/strong\u003e, accessible only by boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, and for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those seeking a true smell of the sea rather than a synthetic marine accord, and for those who love landscape perfumes. It is a spring and summer fragrance, more suited to daytime, with good longevity and a refined sillage. Acqua di Scandola Parfum d'Empire will appeal to those who prefer place to seduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PARFUM D'EMPIRE","offers":[{"title":"50 ml","offer_id":54414978777352,"sku":"PROD-000500","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0315\/8024\/files\/parfum-d-empire-acqua-di-scandola-50ml.png?v=1786452761","url":"https:\/\/odorare.fr\/en\/products\/parfum-d-empire-acqua-di-scandola","provider":"Odorare Parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
