Ambre Russe
Ambre Russe is organized around birch — specifically birch tar, the dark, medicinal, smoke-adjacent note that defines traditional Russian leather and gives Russian imperial scent culture its particular character.

Cuir Ottoman
Cuir Ottoman opens unusually: labdanum and iris in the top note position means the fragrance arrives at skin as balsamic and powdery before the leather developments begin.

Azemour les Orangers
Azemour les Orangers opens with the sharp clarity of citrus peel still wet from the tree—grapefruit and orange lifted by pink pepper's gentle rasp.
Azemour Les Orangers Parfum d'Empire
Azemour Les Orangers opens with the electric brightness of citrus peel pressed against wood—grapefruit and bitter orange cutting through green galbanum.
Eau de Gloire Cologne Parfum d'Empire
Un Bel Amour D’été Parfum d'Empire
Tabac Tabou Parfum d'Empire
Tobacco leaf appears almost immediately—green and slightly damp, more botanical than sweetened.
Aziyade
The opening is all ripe fruit and marzipan—pomegranate juice staining almond paste, with a soft plum sweetness that feels more Ottoman confectionery than modern gourmand.
Aziyade Parfum d'Empire
Aziyade opens with pomegranate, plum, and orange — ripe, dark fruit sweetened by almond's marzipan note, a rich entrance that positions the fragrance immediately in oriental territory.
Le Cri de la Lumiere
Le Cri de la Lumière opens with a burst of raspberry and bergamot — tart, sheer, and bright, almost transparent in the way it arrives.
Le Cri de la Lumière Parfum d'Empire
Le Cri de la Lumière — the cry of light — reads more like a quiet declaration than anything dramatic.
Corsica Furiosa Parfum d'Empire
Eau de Gloire
Eau de Gloire Parfum d'Empire
Wazamba
Wazamba opens with dense, resinous incense—not the pale wisp of church smoke, but something darker and more opaque, as if the coals are still glowing beneath.
Wazamba Parfum d'Empire
The first impression is pure ceremony: a thick billow of church incense that feels both solemn and slightly wild, as if burned in a clearing rather than a cathedral.
Fougere Bengale
The opening sparks like a match struck in a humid forest—ginger flares beside cool mint and lavender, but there's already a smokiness threading through, hinting at what's below.
Fougere Bengale Parfum d'Empire
Fougère Bengale arrives with a jolt of fresh ginger and mint that quickly settles into something darker and more layered.
Ruade Parfum d'Empire
Immortelle Corse
Immortelle Corse Parfum d'Empire
Equistrius
Equistrius opens with the powdery elegance of iris and violet, a soft floral dusting that feels more like fine suede than garden blooms.
Equistrius Parfum d'Empire
The opening is a soft collision of iris and violet, powdery but not sweet, like crushed petals pressed between old book pages.
Acqua di Scandola
Acqua di Scandola Parfum d'Empire
Eau Suave
Eau Suave Parfum d'Empire
Eau Suave opens with saffron's warm, slightly honeyed depth alongside rose — a classically rich pairing that suggests more weight than the name implies.
Osmanthus Interdite
Osmanthus Interdite Parfum d'Empire
Iskander
Iskander Parfum d'Empire
Mal Aime
Mal-Aimé Parfum d'Empire
Musc Tonkin Parfum d'Empire
The opening feels warm and almost edible—a honeyed sweetness layered with cocoa and something faintly medicinal, like old apothecary wood.
