Immortelle Corse
by Parfum d'Empire
Immortelle Corse opens with a bright, fleeting burst of apricot and lemon, quickly giving way to a rich, dusty core of sun-baked immortelle. The scent unfolds with a warm, herbal-earthy quality, underscored by saffron's spicy, leathery depth and oakmoss's damp, mossy backbone. Over time, it settles into a soft, linear profile—broad and somewhat subdued—revealing layers of dry, sweet immortelle with a smoky tobacco undertone. It evolves gently from a slightly sweet opening to a dry, earthy finale, marked by a sour-leaning dryness. The fragrance feels most balanced and authentic on skin, where it projects moderately and lasts at length. Its emotional depth and connection to place—evoking late summer sunsets and coastal Mediterranean soil—makes it deeply evocative and memorable.
