History
Parfum d'Empire is presented as an independent perfume house. Its founder, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, chose a physical, intrepid and baroque perfume. He is described as simultaneously creative nose, master of his house, sovereign in his laboratory, and a doctor in the chemistry of fragrant plants, elements that give him genuine artistic autonomy. The house states that it is recognizable by its overflow of materials and, paradoxically, by the balance proper to the Grand Goût Français, with a radical and personal style. Marc-Antoine Corticchiato won the 2015 Fifi Awards for best niche brand perfume for his creation Corsica Furiosa, and the 2016 Fifi Awards for best niche brand perfume for his creation Tabac Tabou.
