Acqua Di Gio Special Bend, a more aromatic variation of its predecessors
Parfum d'Empire has the gift of taking us into unknown territory, as if to reconnect with the original meaning of perfume, with a sacred and erotic part in it. Acqua di Scandola is the name of the 20th fragrance from Parfum d'Empire. Celebrating this anniversary as it should be, this juice echoes the childhood of creator Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, taking us with him to his native Corsica.
Corsica, a place dear to Marc-Antoine Corticchiato
As his name suggests, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato has Corsican origins. Although he was born in Morocco, he spent a large part of his childhood in the Corsican maquis, in a family house located in the heart of the village of Cuttoli Corticchiato. A true native of the country, he also enjoys returning very frequently to this Mediterranean island. It is therefore all his love for this place that reappears with this perfume. Acqua di Scandola is inspired by a peninsula accessible only by sea. Nature reserve protected by Unesco, the Scandola peninsula is a preserved place in the heart of which Marc-Antoine Corticchiato likes to fish with friends, finding himself between sea and land, in a very rocky setting. The Acqua di Scandola perfume aims to revive this wild universe. It is a concentrate of maritime, natural and aquatic glow. Much more than a simple perfume, it gives us a real postcard with solar and Mediterranean accents.
The very Mediterranean breath of Acqua di Scandola
Acqua di Scandola by Parfum d'Empire dares to assemble ingredients rarely used in traditional perfumery. Its breath is at the same time iodized, aromatic and mineral. Acqua di Scandola starts off with a salty and maritime accord resulting from a unique seaweed extract, associated with notes of juniper. Immortelle, the emblematic flower of Corsica, is sublimated here with liquorice, curry and hay. An iodine scent unfolds in this composition a more herbaceous nervousness, quickly extending into a more foamy and vegetal facet. The perfumer also wanted to evoke the mineral aspect of this part of Corsica, revealing itself in particular in the base notes of the Acqua di Scandola perfume, while associating with a more animal breath. Finally, jasmine and coconut in turn contribute to giving a more solar aspect to the whole of this fragrance. As always with Parfum d'Empire, Acqua di Scandola comes in a small cylindrical 50 ml bottle. For the occasion, it is embellished with a bluish label. Sober and elegant, Acqua di Scandola intends to bring a little sunshine in your winter!
