AMBRE RUSSE | AMBRE RUSSE’s luxurious ambergris expresses the unbridled magnificence of the Russian empire in the days of the last tsars. A baroque, splendorous setting, studded with golden bubbles that catch light even as it goes out. In the flamboyant world of AMBRE RUSSE, nothing is done in half-measures: parties are as intoxicating and sparkling as the champagne that flowed in Imperial Russia, but they can end in the white brutality of an icy shot of vodka. In dachas, Russian tea laced with cinnamon and coriander is brewed all day long in samovars. Its slightly smoky aroma melds with those of the birch and juniper tar rubbed into the legendary Russian leather. At last, the golden facets of AMBRE RUSSE are burnished by the incense of the Orthodox Church, before melting into a cloud of musk… And so the celebration ends in mystical rapture.

Marc-Antoine Corticchiato has a unique profile as a perfumer and scientist. He is passionate about the noblest raw materials and their cultural history, which has driven him to explore the mysterious world of perfume. Born in Morocco and raised between Corsican citrus groves, he was a competition rider before studying chemistry and completing his training at the École Internationale de Parfumerie de Versailles. Marc-Antoine dissected natural raw materials and acquired in-depth knowledge of them while working in a research laboratory focused on the analysis of aromatic plants and extraction methods. He teaches at ISIPCA and has set up a production unit for essential oils in Madagascar.
After several years of research, Marc-Antoine joined a Parisian perfume laboratory to express his creativity more fully before founding Parfum d'Empire. His blends, originally intended for aromatherapy, taught him to work under both therapeutic and olfactory constraints. With his passion for natural plant extracts, he has developed a personal style that leaves a unique imprint, combining an exuberant use of rich materials with the sense of balance that characterizes the Grand French manner. Parfum d'Empire invites people to conquer the realm of the senses through resonant, tempting, and penetrating scents.
