3 Fleurs

Flowers are the very embodiment of perfumery. Indeed, they have been used in fragrances since ancient times. In fact, even Queen Cleopatra used rose petals to enhance her baths. It would seem that it is precisely to this feminine raw material that the house of Parfum d’Empire decided to pay tribute. As the name of this fragrance suggests, 3 Fleurs is conceived as an enormous bouquet of flowers. It is a fragrance with a romantic character, the kind one likes to imagine in the most beautiful fairy tales.

The rose of Parfum d’Empire

Rose is considered by many to be the queen of perfumery. Appreciated for millennia for its beauty as well as its delicate scent, it has been celebrated by numerous artists and continues to fascinate. Dante Florentin evoked paradise through it. Likewise, Persian poetry employed the figure of the rose to embody love. Pierre de Ronsard said: the rose is the bouquet of love, the rose is the perfume of the gods. This plant, at once powerful and discreet, opens the composition of 3 Fleurs. Although rose is a plant that is both romantic and armed with sharp thorns, here it is offered in its purest and most feminine facet.

The romantic jasmine of 3 Fleurs

Jasmine, for its part, unveils itself in a second phase. Here it embodies the image of romantic love. Moreover, for Westerners, white jasmine is the symbol of eternal love and sensuality. It is commonly said to be a flower to offer to a loved one. Likewise, jasmine is used in India to pay tribute to the gods. It is an ideal flower for offerings, symbolizing hope and spirituality. Jasmine embodies a sun-kissed love lived in broad daylight, while at the same time evoking the thousand and one nights of Scheherazade. Here, it develops a warmth that is soft, fruity and animalic. As such, it proves particularly addictive and tempting.

The tuberose of the Parfum d’Empire trio

Tuberose finally closes this floral trio. It embodies desire and voluptuousness while charging this symbolism with forbidden love. Its character is penetrating, and this is what earned it a reputation of being feared by young women of the Italian Renaissance. Indeed, they were forbidden from walking in tuberose gardens, for fear that they might succumb to the sin of the flesh, so provocative and arousing is the character of this flower. Tuberose is in fact also called the sinner in white. As the embodiment of ultimate temptation, it releases ample and enigmatic effluvia here. It thus reveals the full voluptuousness of 3 Fleurs, making it more carnal than ever and almost elusive. 3 Fleurs thus concludes on a surge of desire.
