Imagine a spotlight trained on a woman at the center of a dark stage. Music starts \u2014 something melodic and gentle \u2014 and the performer sways in her diaphanous gown. After this dreamy introduction, burlesque horns kick in, and, in a move you\u2019ve seen a hundred times, the woman rips away her evening dress to reveal a strapless sequinned get-up. That\u2019s Parfum d’Empire<\/a> Immortelle Corse in a nutshell.<\/p>\n Maybe comparing the fragrance to a Broadway number is going too far, since it\u2019s more sun-kissed peasant1<\/sup> than Liza Minelli, but you get the idea. Getting to know Immortelle Corse is to take a ride. Marc Antoine Corticchiato is the founder of Parfum d\u2019Empire and the nose behind Immortelle Corse. Its notes include saffron, apricot, lemon, immortelle and oak moss.<\/p>\n Fresh on skin, Immortelle Corse is all sueded apricot, gentle and smooth. At this point, I\u2019d call it a leather perfume. It\u2019s tougher than Serge Lutens Daim Blond<\/a>, for instance, but still mousse-like in texture with a close sillage. Unlike many fragrances whose phase one vanishes in minutes, Immortelle Corse hangs on to this persona for a solid hour.<\/p>\n Then, once you\u2019ve settled into apricot skin and suede gloves, you look up from your desk and realize someone else has entered the room: immortelle. And has it ever. Immortelle Corse never gets bossy or loud, but it steps forward with both feet and firmly asserts its signature herbal blend of brandy, orange marmalade, artemisia and body odor.<\/p>\n Not everyone\u2019s a fan of immortelle. If you don\u2019t like it at all \u2014 if, say, Etat Libre d\u2019Orange The Afternoon of a Faun<\/a> is too much for you and Serge Lutens Participe Pass\u00e9<\/a> raises nausea \u2014 you\u2019ll want to give Immortelle Corse a pass. But, if immortelle intrigues you at all, and if you appreciate a classically structured fragrance, you need to sample this one.<\/p>\n Once Immortelle Corse\u2019s song fades, the immortelle candies and a woody-mossy base cradles it, reminding me of boulders in an August field with an open jar of spicy apricot jam nearby. The fragrance has terrific lasting power. On my skin, half a sample vial applied before breakfast lasts until my evening bath. At last, the spotlight on Immortelle Corse yellows, then clicks off, leaving only muted warmth.<\/p>\n Parfum d\u2019Empire Immortelle Corse Extrait is $175 for 50 ml.
