Equistrius

It reveals here the full complexity of its olfactory facets, offering a powdery veil accentuated by other addictive ingredients such as suede or chocolate.

The conquering spirit of Parfum d'Empire

Parfum d'Empire is a house created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato. As a Mediterranean man, he chose to establish a perfumery in his own image, at once physical, intrepid and baroque. Equistrius is thus regarded as a fragrance blending eroticism and the sacred. Like each of the house's fragrances, it seems to reconnect with the original meaning of perfume, which once served to create a kind of invisible link between man and the gods. Nothing less than the use of one of the most prestigious flowers in perfumery was needed to pay homage to the olfactory art. With Equistrius, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato has once again given free rein to his imagination, reigning as sole master of his laboratory of scented plants. He seems to have made full use of his artistic autonomy to deliver a product of great beauty. Equistrius perfectly embodies his personal style, capturing consumers' senses from its very first breath.

The opulent nobility of Equistrius

Beyond evoking the sacred meaning of perfumery, Equistrius also echoes one of the disciplines dearest to Marc-Antoine Corticchiato: horseback riding. Indeed, before becoming a perfumer, he intended to become a rider. The horse that gave him his finest victories was named Equistrius. In its image, this fragrance is full of spirit and temperament. It embodies the desire for victory, an athletic spirit, and conquest. Iris, messenger of the gods, unfolds here in all its grandeur, with its floral and opulent character. An emblematic flower of perfumery, it has elevated the finest essences since Antiquity. Moreover, apothecaries also credit it with soothing properties. Indeed, it was not without reason that this flower once scented the wigs of aristocrats. Equistrius thus resonates as the fragrance of the great figures of this world. Its powdery facets are here combined with woodier tones. Its base, in turn, rests on ambrette butter, both fruity and musky. Sandalwood, for its part, wraps the whole in a milkier sensation. Amber merely completes this addictive ensemble with a certain sensuality. Finally, for added gourmand character, a note of chocolate has also nestled at its heart, for a result as surprising as it is appealing.
