Aziyade - eau de parfum

orientalsk, very sexy, fantastisk duft

I love all the scents of Parfum d ’empire that I have tried so far. Yet I find Aziyade a very special scent. Warm spicy but not too sweet and intrusive. And this great incense scent that comes on after a while and lingers for a long time. I can't get enough of that. Moreover, super service! Everything nicely packed and delivered quickly with a personal message. The next one on my list is Ambre Russe.

Corticchiato's perfumes have been part of my favorites collection for some time. After discovering Cuir Ottoman, Iskander, and Fougère Bengale, Aziyadé followed. Recently, Tabac Tabou entered the stage, and made a smashing impression on me like the worlds of Cuir de Russie, Wild Oud and Fracas are brought together in a new men's or unisex perfume] yet Aziyadé remains my number 1. It is a different universe, also quite heavy like Tabac Tabou, but with an alluring edge that contrasts with the gravity of the base note; I partly smell Azemour [Orange] but also the lighter touch of Patchouli in the version of Etro di Milano; to me it is like walking on the Damascus souk in 2008 [when all the horrors were not yet reality] and being dragged from dates and figs to citrus and cotton, from sweat to olive oil, from lavender to dark chocolate. A kaleidoscope of Eastern impressions that are packed together in a strong perfume, recognizable for the connoisseur, but totally out-of-the-box and unique for the outsider, it touched my senses and became part of my identity.
