Description Twenty years of physical, intrepid, baroque perfumes. Twenty years of a personal, radical style; Marc-Antoine Corticchiato’s stance against the puritanism of the puny, normative juices of our times.
Twenty years… That’s quite a feat in the young sector of niche perfumery! A saga initiated in 2003 with a single perfume: for two years, Eau de Gloire was the only fragrance offered by Parfum d’Empire.
Over the past 20 years, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato has created 22 perfumes. First by exploring the major themes of perfumery (amber, florals, leather, fougères), from the East to the West. Then, more personal stories were added to the collection, from Azemour les oranges, an evocation of the perfumer’s lost childhood paradise, to the L’Héritage Corse collection, a tribute to his Corsican roots.
As a common thread, his desire to reconnect with the original truth of perfume: the erotic and the sacred. Love conquest, spiritual conquest, self-conquest… With Parfum d’Empire, no fragrance is created without passion, without a story. That is the freedom of a house in which the perfumer is the sole master of his lab.
