Immortelle Corse by Parfum d’Empire opens with cheerful ingredients such as saffron, lemon, and juicy apricot. This forms the velvety texture for immortelle in the heart, that is accompanied by spices. This aromatic fragrance is devoted to Corsica, the homeland of Marc-Antoine Corticchiato and is an intense fragrance as extrait de parfum.
Quote from the perfumer:
“Immortelle fascinates me. It is all around my place in the Corsican maquis, where I spend as much time as possible. I wanted its radiance during the summer solstice when it is gorged with the sun. It was a chef friend of mine who unwittingly gave me the key to the composition: associating ingredients that have the same color. “It always works”, he claimed. As soon as I’d found my saffron – apricot – lemon accord, I knew I had the starting point of my story. Since I wanted a velvety texture, I chose a natural, juicy apricot, which also brings a soft orange light. This is one of my shortest formulas. I wanted it to be impactful, obvious while remaining elegant.”
