Un Bel Amour d'Été

Parfum d’Empire launched Un Bel Amour d’Été in the spring of 2024 as an eau de parfum. It was composed by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, the house’s founder and perfumer, who filled it with the natural materials he favors.

The fragrance begins with a memory. While working on a gardenia and magnolia accord, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato felt the scent of his own summer love resurface, a story that lasted only one season and whose scent, he says, has never left him.

Four strokes of the heart

The house tells the fragrance in four movements: love at first sight, a crush, a rush of flowers, a touch of sun. It stages a beach romance, the blue sea, the warm sand and tanned skin exhaling a scent of white flowers with animalic nuances.

It presents Un Bel Amour d’Été as the archetype of the seaside summer fragrance, enriched with sumptuous natural materials, and sums it up in two words: carnal and solar.

The formats

At launch, Un Bel Amour d’Été was sold as an eau de parfum in 50 and 100 ml. The house now offers it in three sizes, 30, 50 and 100 ml, within its Collection Signature.
