Le Cri de la Lumière

To set no limit on his overflowing imagination, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato decided to found his own perfume brand in 2002. Parfum d’Empire is a house intended for knowledgeable fragrance consumers. Parfum d’Empire juices display a unique style, almost charged with dreaminess and spirituality. This is precisely what is at stake in the fragrance Le Cri de la Lumière.

Parfum d’Empire, a highly spiritual olfactory house

Parfum d’Empire is a perfume house synonymous with conquest. Parfum d’Empire is all of these at once: amorous conquest, spiritual conquest, conquest of self... Here, however, this exploration leads us further toward the spiritual and sacred meaning of perfume. Through Le Cri de la Lumière, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato seems to want to reconnect with the sacred meaning of perfumery. Indeed, originally, perfume was mainly used as offerings to draw closer to the gods. Its name comes from the Latin per fumum, meaning by smoke. Parfum d’Empire strives, through its compositions, to deliver the full power of the noblest raw materials pushed to their peak. It is precisely to grant himself total freedom that Marc-Antoine Corticchiato chose to found his own brand and work in complete autonomy. Here, he chose to pay homage to a universal symbol of life and hope: light. Le Cri de la Lumière is a fragrance of universal reach. It is described by the house as a luminous halo and an exhilarating rise toward daybreak.

The floral and airy scent of the perfume Le Cri de la Lumière

While Le Cri de la Lumière is a very luminous and sun-kissed perfume, it remains no less opulent. Its composition revolves around three main ingredients. The first is ambrette. It is a small bean-shaped seed from Indian hibiscus flowers. Its scent is appreciated for its multitude of facets. Indeed, ambrette is at once musky, floral, animalic and powdery. It immediately asserts the full richness of Le Cri de la Lumière. Then, refinement takes over and this perfume is enriched with one of the noblest ingredients in the entire perfumer's palette: iris. This raw material, reserved exclusively for fine perfumery, releases a powdery breath here. Finally, all the femininity and romanticism of Le Cri de la Lumière take over. This composition ends with the floral, fruity and sweet presence of Turkish rose.
