ACQUA DI SCANDOLA | SALINE AND SOLAR: THE SEA, DIFFERENTLY | WITH ACQUA DI SCANDOLA, MARC-ANTOINE CORTICCHIATO SET HIMSELF A CHALLENGE: TO OFFER A DIFFERENT EXPRESSION OF THE SEA IN PERFUMERY. IODIC, AROMATIC AND MINERAL. PURELY MEDITERRANEAN. EXCLUSIVELY CORSICAN.
A scent-scape as surprising as the place that inspired it: the peninsula of Scandola, in western Corsica. A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, this nature reserve can only be reached by boat. A streamlined fragrance, reflecting three elements:
• The sea, distilled in a very special algae extract with facets as clear and salty as the turquoise water.
• Untamed nature, translated by the aromatic vibrancy of juniper and the spicy aroma of immortelle.
• The moss-covered, velvety rocks. As ochre as warm sand or as sea-salted, sun-kissed skin…
A WORD FROM MARC-ANTOINE CORTICCHIATO | The sea is in my blood, and Scandola is a magical place where I keep coming back with fishermen friends who know each rock, each corner of it. Whatever the hour or the season, its colors keep changing on land and sea. Those flashes of color inspire me as a perfumer. As a part of my current quest for naturality and clarity, I wanted to express the marine accord without resorting to the cliché of artificial aquatic molecules. I found the key in a gorgeous algae extract, customized specifically to reflect my vision of Scandola’s breathtaking beauty.

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.
