Aziyadé

Aziyadé by Parfum d'Empire, an elixir of sensuality

Aziyadé is the 10th fragrance created by the brand Parfum d'Empire. As such, it simply could not go unnoticed. The house called upon its official perfumer, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, to craft a juice that is both sensual and carnal while remaining particularly provocative. Aziyadé is thus perceived as an olfactory interpretation of opulent, feminine flesh. It draws its inspiration from an oriental source and evokes, at the same time, the apex of ancient civilisations. In that era, wealth was constantly entwined with licentiousness. It is precisely this luxurious debauchery that lies at the heart of the perfume Aziyadé. Moreover, this essence takes its name from an eponymous novel written by Pierre Loti, which tells a languid tale set on the eve of the birth of the Ottoman Empire. As you will have gathered, Aziyadé is a carnal fragrance ideally conceived for men and women who crave seduction and fear nothing. It is an aphrodisiac concentrate drawn from diverse cultures, a true carnal elixir brimming with sensuality.

The carnal excess of Aziyadé

But how to paint the image of Aziyadé, heroine of the eponymous novel living within the heart of a harem at the twilight of the Ottoman Empire? Well, it seems that Parfum d'Empire chose, first and foremost, to depict this image through the Pomegranate, a fruit that, according to legend, was born from the blood of Dionysus, God of intoxication. It is then associated with a host of typically oriental ingredients such as candied dates, oranges and prunes. What is more, the whole is further warmed by spices such as Egyptian cardamom, Ceylon cinnamon, Chinese ginger, Egyptian cumin and rosemary. These ingredients, and most particularly cumin, were highly prized in Antiquity during sacred prostitution rituals. Such is the sensual and aphrodisiac connotation of this fragrance! Likewise, tobacco leaves and Indian patchouli are also associated with this composition. Indeed, they too were used in ancient times to kindle sexual desire. The vanilla absolute, an aphrodisiac for the Aztecs, softens the whole. The intoxication of Aziyadé is further heightened by the presence of Arabian incense and carob pods. Finally, Tonkin musk and Moroccan cistus absolute lend the composition a deeper, more resinous trail.

The Eau de Parfum Aziyadé by Parfum d'Empire

Pomegranate, candied dates, almonds and oranges.

Aziyadé by Parfum d'Empire takes us to the heart of the feasts of ancient Egypt.

The aphrodisiac spices — cardamom, cinnamon, ginger — lend it its carnal, almost animal character.

In the base note, musk and cistus absolute draw us into a luxurious oriental dance.

As in all fragrances by creator Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, each scent is deep, complete and bears witness to the value of its origin.

Oriental, spicy and fruity, Aziyadé opens on a striking pomegranate accord before releasing the liqueur-like notes of candied dates, oranges and prunes. The aphrodisiac spices plunge us into the heart of oriental nights where anything is possible. Incense tears mingle with musks, cistus and carob. An excessive and carnal creation, Aziyadé overflows with sensuality.

A concentrate of carnal pleasures and the excesses of great civilisations.

With Aziyadé, the 10th creation from Parfum d'Empire, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato signs his most provocative fragrance. The very quintessence of eroticism, it plunges us into the heart of bodily union. Setting the most precious raw materials vibrating, it evokes the apex of civilisations, when cultural wealth went hand in hand with licentiousness and ecstasy. Eroticism vies with indulgence: more than a perfume, Aziyadé is a flavour. That of opulent flesh. It all begins with fruit...

Aziyadé - A liqueur-like and fruity elixir

A carnal and venomous fragrance, Aziyadé places aphrodisiac spices centre stage. Guatemalan cardamom expresses the warm flavour of the sweets of ancient Egypt, where the kiss is an art. An essential feature of erotic feasts, Ceylon cinnamon, with its sweet accents, is consecrated by the Romans in the temples of Venus Libentina. Chinese ginger projects its violent fire into the heart of Aziyadé; in the Middle Kingdom, its rhizome is used to stimulate the mucous membranes. Finally, Egyptian cumin, already prized in the Sumerian Empire during sacred prostitution rituals, contributes its powerful note.

Aziyadé - An oriental and animal trail of all excesses

Aziyadé overflows with sensuality. It plunges us back into the smoky atmospheres of celebration. The evocation of tobacco leaves is achieved through raw patchouli from India, used in magic to kindle sexual desire. Vanilla is the foremost aphrodisiac of the Aztec Empire. Lascivious, the blonde vanilla absolute from Madagascar exhales its wild accords, while carob pods round out the fragrance with their unctuous notes. Arabian incense tears escape from the Palaces of the Orient and sink into the sacred intoxication of love: does the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut not offer her naked body, anointed with incense, to admiring eyes in honour of the god Amon?

Aziyadé - Drunk on luxury and pleasure

Aziyadé is endlessly sensual. The animal accord recreates the penetrating scent of the famous Tonkin musk, while a languorous Moroccan cistus absolute unfolds its resinous and deep facets.

Aziyadé, the main character of Pierre Loti's eponymous novel, tells the languid story of a harem at the twilight of the Ottoman Empire. It was later revealed that the author had transformed his hero into a heroine, making her forever the emblematic figure of love.

Overdosed and reinforced, the subtle materials of Aziyadé require a slow maceration to develop this naturally coloured nectar. More than a trail, Aziyadé leaves an imprint.
