FOUGERE BENGALE | A sensuous, animal blond tobacco.
This fougère opens with a fresh English barbershop lavender note. Then the warm, dry aroma of hay carries us off to Bengal, in the tea plantations of Assam. A blond tobacco extract softened with smooth tonka bean conjures the smells of the Indian savannah.
Powerful and original, FOUGERE BENGALE is an untamed scent for adventurous travelers.
Edwardian dandies scented themselves with fougère, a classic fragrance family based on lavender, tonka bean and oak moss. FOUGERE BENGALE revisits the genre with a powerful, honeyed blond tobacco accord, and carries us off to India.
Assam tea and warm gingerbread notes blend with tobacco, whose tawny aroma conjures both English clubs and the savannah where the Bengal tiger lurks… And old-style colonial elegance gives way to the smells of the savannah, carried by the sweet aromas of hay and tonka bean extracts.
Then we dive into the Indian jungle on the trail of animalic, mossy and woody notes. Patchouli, once used to protect cashmere shawls during their trip to Europe, suffuses the scent with its woody, camphoraceous aroma; vanilla adds its silky touch. And the journey to the land of the Bengal tiger ends in the palace of a maharajah.

Parfum D'Empire
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.
