Parfum d'Empire

The year 2016 sounds like a true consecration for the Parfum d’Empire house. Indeed, on Thursday, April 14, the famous Fifi Awards of the Fragrance Foundation France took place, an event rewarding creation and innovation in the very closed world of perfumery. This time, it was the fragrance Tabac Tabou that was elected best olfactory creation in the niche perfume category, standing out among 340 competitors! This certainly deserved a moment's attention to the history of this house and its finest creations...

A house founded by Marc Antoine Corticchiato

Parfum d’Empire is a house that was created by Marc Antoine Corticchiato. This renowned creator was born in Morocco and grew up amid sun-drenched citrus groves. He also often visited a family home in Corsica. A rider since the age of eight, he initially pursued a career in equestrianism. Nevertheless, he was also eager to understand the composition of plants and studied chemistry. Little by little, he climbed the ranks in this field until earning a doctorate. He then completed his training with a perfumer's diploma at the renowned perfumery school of Versailles, ISIPCA. He began his professional activity in a laboratory, analyzing perfume plants and their extraction methods. His work thus consisted of dissecting natural raw materials. In other words, Marc Antoine Corticchiato is an excellent technician. At the same time, he became interested in aromatherapy and taught courses at ISIPCA. Nevertheless, wishing to draw closer to the sacred notion of perfume, he decided to found his own company. This is how Parfum d’Empire was created, in 2002.

The Parfum d’Empire house

When Marc Antoine Corticchiato founded Parfum d’Empire, it allowed him to fully express his style. Indeed, he works there in total autonomy and can thus let his creativity express itself fully. Parfum d’Empire is a house that reconnects with the original meaning of perfume, making it somewhat esoteric and sacred, as it was once perceived in ancient cultures. To achieve this, Marc Antoine Corticchiato uses very noble raw materials pushed to excess. Thus, his fragrances are perfumes of conquest, whether of romantic, spiritual, or inner conquest. Marc Antoine Corticchiato thus enjoys working alone. He is at once the director of his house, creator, nose, and doctor of chemistry. In other words, he possesses true artistic autonomy. His style is therefore very personal, and his freedom is indomitable and powerful.

Today, Parfum d’Empire offers a wide collection of perfumes. Moreover, the house has also expanded its range to include the creation of scented candles.
