Spicy honey

I like the fragrance, but I can understand that it polarizes. My wife, for example, unfortunately does not like him at all. Starts very sweet, reminiscent of spicy honey. Lemon and apricot I can not perceive as such, but a slight fruity freshness is definitely there. Kind of elegant, in a very unique way. As it goes on, it gets more tart, immortelle and oakmoss come through. Reminiscent of a walk in a dry, Mediterranean landscape in the process. Very lively and somehow also nostalgic. For me, a fascinating fragrance, even if there are few occasions when I actually like to wear it.

I have tested the fragrance as part of the Sommelier des Parfums tasting set "aromatic".

Simply delightfull

Parfum d'empire has a very dear place in my heart, one of the very first niche brand that I heard of and probably one of my absolute favorite house.

I ordered the whole sample pack and hardly could find anything that would stand out as everything was so original, artistic and well made.

But this one really grabbed my attention.

Every summer since even before I could walk I go to an island in the french atlantic coast where you can find the so called everlasting flower growing everywhere in the dunes.
That's the smell that strike you immediatly when you get out of the car for the first time and last time you had fresh air it was the polluted one of the city or that of the highway station.

So the smell has always held a special place in my memory even before I could attach it to flower where it comes from.

This is not exactly the dry and spicy immortelle from the beach, this would be Sable by Goutal.

This is every facet of this complex flower with addition of Apricot lemon and oakmoss.

M.A Cortichiatto said that he had the idea of lemon and apricot to complete the picture after discussing with a cook who told him that going with ingredient the same color was an easy to find good associations.

To be honest I don't get lemon at all, this is not a citrus fragrance, this is heavy from the start.

The opening has something very boozy like a very strong eau de vie.
It's also very leathery and of course spicy, you get the curry like aspect eventhough it's not that dominant compared with other immortelle essence I had smellt before.
Some people see this as a Chypre and I can see why.

With the apricot and oakmoss this could be a more masculine heavy and spicy Mitsouko.

This is very rich so don't wear this when going to the beach please.

Anyway I find this to be an absolute masterpiece and will probably get myself a bottle in a near future : )

Detour IV

What a line-up: the 'official' Corsican perfumer, one of the most 'Corsican' of all ingredients, in a perfume with an 'official' immortelle name! Corticchiato's Fougère Bengale - is for me already one of the most beautiful perfumes around this note but a combination with saffron and apricot didn't really seem to be my thing, at least in words, but, voila, the mixture does it and Immortelle Corse is coherent as it is delicious. The last time I saw an apricot taking over right from the start was Jeux de peau, but here the fruit is drier, desweet and at the same time liqueur-like and spicy, perhaps by means of saffron? No industrial dried fruit, but materia prima of first-class fruits, where the warm climate is almost to taste, similar to the excellent Portuguese dried fruits from Elvas. The whole thing drifts into an immortelle phase in high-definition slow motion. This is realistic, also largely devoid of sweetness, yet very reminiscent of the hand in the plant. Later on, fortunately for me, I keep thinking of Sabels (1985) - the 'oldest' perfume that stormed my private Olympus just over 10 years ago. That reference is more boisterous, brutalistic and eccentric; Immortelle Corse is more delicate, subtle and realistic, and has a brilliant, long finish with highly integrated oakmoss. Concentration as an extrait de parfum here means persistence and detail, not immediate intensity. As with other Parfum d'Empire releases of the last six years, a few choice ingredients are negotiated here, dynamism is present, especially in the microtonal range. For those interested in Helichrysum, a focused as well as modern option.
