Parfum D'Empire Ruade Extrait de Parfum

Ruade | Animalic and impetuous.
Mane, hooves, neighs, gallop, jump… Ruade. A kick from the animal for a perfume that packs a punch. All the fervor of the horse is distilled in this exceptional fragrance, built around a profusion of natural oud, or agarwood.
A perfume-memory of returning to the stables after a weekend of show jumping. A discipline long practiced by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato and one which he conjures here – the adrenalin of competition, the euphoria of going back to the stables.
A perfume-universe, that of the equestrian world, when the horses have been unloaded from the truck and escorted to their stalls. Next out of the van are the tack trunks, from which emanate a mixture of strong animalic smells: leather from the harness and gaiters, saliva from the bits, perspiration from the saddle pads, pine tar for smearing on hooves, remnants of straw and hay on the blankets.
To capture the scent of opening the tack trunks, Marc-Antoine chose the most wayward material in perfumery: oud essence. Distilled since the year 1000, the fragrant resin is the result of an infection of the Aquilaria tree, after a very slow process evolving over several decades. This sumptuous liquid gold, used here in overdose, displays all its panache.
Narcissus, wild and floral, exalts the indolent character of Ruade, with its mane note and straw-like effects. Cut hay absolute lends its power to the evocation of haystacks, whose trail permeates the air and sends horses into a frenzy.
An intrepid perfume with precious materials in overdose, saturated with animality and as rebellious as the equine kick.

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.
