Tiddly peashooter
Honestly, when I sprayed the fragrance, the top note catapulted me back to my youth in the middle of the night. I loved to crack pea pods and stuff the innocent little peas from the pod straight into my mouth. Pod after pod - crunch, stuff That's the top note here, straight up. Don't let Eucc tell you otherwise I can smell mint after a few minutes, but not much. I wish I could have been more, with that ultimate summer scent.
Also the further development remains green, but not fresh-citric, but rather green-milky, but velvety from oak moss.
Holiday in Småland, maybe even Bullerbü?
If there isn't...
Michel would have eaten the fermented cherries Don't get the wrong idea: There's no cherry or any other escada-like fruit in here. I was just thinking of the alcohol that Michel has ingested with the cherries.
Because that's the twist here: An alcoholic note, clear and fresh, like vodka!
The base has quite a lot in the cloisters, you can only sink down to the oak moss bed and admire the furious nature of Corsica.
Unusual, good!

Minty mastic
Just like Mal-Aimé, also from the Corsican Heritage line, this is ultra leafy-green. While Mal-Aimé is roadside weeds all the way, Corsica Furiosa feels a bit more composed. Overall I get a vegetale green impression with a minty-peppery sharpness, against a light mossy-resin background.

With Corsica Furiosa, Parfum d'Empire created another unique scent of very decent quality, that much is sure. But somehow both Mal-Aimé and Corsica Furiosa leave me completely indifferent, while I consider myself a fanatic for aromatic green and herbaceous scents.

Perfume as a piece of art
This is a 10/10 fragrance that received the Fragrance of the Year award 2015 by the Fragrace Foundation. This fragrance is the true meaning of niche and it is one of the best gates to the world of (REAL) niche fragrance. This is a perfume that is created for its own artistic purpose, not for marketing, mass-pleasing, or any other purpose.

The fragrance was created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato who grew up on a beautiful island named "Corsica". I am sure this perfume is very meaningful for its' creator and it is a bridge to the emotional world of his childhood.

I am not going to talk about the scent because you should feel the scent yourself. The only thing I can say is that the perfumer did not mess up the great scent of his creation by adding fruity and floral notes because of the marketing purposes. This is for professionals who understand the scent and respect it.

Between the Mediterranean sea and the Maquis, while the Mistral is blowing
Corsica Furiosa has a truly amazing tomato plant and grass opening - one the like of which i never experienced before. It's harsh, and yet it's not - it's not as bitter as one would expect, and it doesn't get the unpleasant rancid/sour notes that sometimes joins grassy/tomato leaf scents after a while. It smells incredibly natural and fresh and remains that way.

The greenness fades stays but slowly makes more room for lime (green lemon) and something that reminds me of balsamic vinegar (maybe the lentisque, I never smelled any "in the wild"). There is a tiny hint of pepper, honey and mint as well.

Despite all those Italian salad ingredients, it doesn't make one smell like food - it's too green for that.

I can't pinpoint it on any note, and this might be due to my own associations and memories of tons of tomato salads on holiday in the Mediterranean, but this also reminds me of the air in the Maquis - a mix of salty, windswept earth and summer-dried aromatic herbs.

It's a wonderous, amazing scent. It projects heavenly as well.

I'm still hesitating to buy a full bottle because of wearability concerns. Usually I can predict how other people will react pretty well, but I'm not sure how other people will perceive this one. But it sure is amazing to wear.

Summer garden
Loudly, unapologetically, fresh-vegetal-green. Zero sugar. Almost a photorealistic scent of crushing Delosperma plants underfoot, staining the concrete green as the sun belts down in the high dry afternoon.

This almost isn't a fragrance so much as it is a snapshot of a heated summer garden. Probably not something that I personally want to wear on a regular basis, but I've deeply enjoyed the visit!

Beautiful mastic solinote. Green, like galbanum without the bite. Terpenic, like cooling conifers. Slight chewy texture from the resins.
