{"product_id":"parfum-d-empire-iskander","title":"Iskander – Hesperidic Chypre Eau de Parfum","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIskander by Parfum d'Empire\u003c\/strong\u003e is a unisex \u003cstrong\u003earomatic chypre-hesperidic eau de parfum\u003c\/strong\u003e, created by \u003cstrong\u003eMarc-Antoine Corticchiato\u003c\/strong\u003e. The house conceives it as a journey from west to east, from Mediterranean citrus fruits to ingredients from Arabia and China.\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 house founded and composed by a single man, \u003cstrong\u003eMarc-Antoine Corticchiato\u003c\/strong\u003e: he is both its founder and nose, and creates the entire collection. Its formula 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: that of 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn opening of citron, mandarin, grapefruit and neroli\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecitron\u003c\/strong\u003e opens with a thick, bitter, and slightly green zest. The \u003cstrong\u003emandarin\u003c\/strong\u003e softens it, the \u003cstrong\u003egrapefruit\u003c\/strong\u003e adds bite, and the \u003cstrong\u003eneroli\u003c\/strong\u003e — distilled bitter orange blossom — brings its floral and slightly metallic freshness. The house summarizes the opening in one word: \u003cstrong\u003evivid and tangy\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA heart of tarragon and coriander\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarragon\u003c\/strong\u003e establishes its herbal, frank, and slightly peppery anise; the \u003cstrong\u003ecoriander\u003c\/strong\u003e — the seed, not the leaf — answers it with a dry and lemony spice. These two aromatics are what distance Iskander from cologne: the perfume turns to herbs and spices where sweetness was expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA base of oakmoss, amber and musks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eoakmoss\u003c\/strong\u003e provides the chypre structure, its green humus and dryness; the \u003cstrong\u003eamber\u003c\/strong\u003e a measured warmth, and the \u003cstrong\u003emusks\u003c\/strong\u003e a skin-like effect. It is this base that gives a hesperidic fragrance a longevity that hespéridics do not usually have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house's approach\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIskander\u003c\/strong\u003e is the name the Persians gave to \u003cstrong\u003eAlexander the Great\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the house composes this fragrance like the story of his conquests, \u003cstrong\u003efrom west to east\u003c\/strong\u003e: each ingredient refers to a stage of the historical journey, from the forests of Macedonia to the shores of Arabia and finally to ingredients of Chinese origin. The progression of the fragrance follows that of the route — Mediterranean at the opening, aromatic in the heart, oriental in the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those seeking a freshness that lasts, and a citrus that does not resemble the others. It is a spring and summer fragrance, rather for daytime, with long-lasting performance for a hesperidic and a clear sillage. Iskander Parfum d'Empire will appeal to those who want citrus without giving up structure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PARFUM D'EMPIRE","offers":[{"title":"50 ml","offer_id":54414979596552,"sku":"PROD-000516","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0315\/8024\/files\/parfum-d-empire-iskander-50ml.png?v=1786452759","url":"https:\/\/odorare.fr\/en\/products\/parfum-d-empire-iskander","provider":"Odorare Parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
