extraits naturels de plantes, il met en place une unitĂ© de production dâhuiles essentielles Ă Madagascar. A travers ses crĂ©ations, il interprĂšte des moments fugaces dâĂ©motion qui nous permettent de pĂ©nĂ©trer au cĆur de belles matiĂšres premiĂšres naturelles convoitĂ©es depuis des siĂšcles pour leur raffinement. «Avec Parfum dâEmpire, explique Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, jâai dĂ©sirĂ© renouer avec le sens premier du parfum, celui que lâon retrouve dans toutes les cultures: lâĂ©rotisme et le sacrĂ©. Car de tout temps sĂ©duction et spiritualitĂ© constituent le sens le plus profond du parfum, sa vĂ©ritĂ© originelle. ConquĂȘte amoureuse, conquĂȘte spirituelle, conquĂȘte de soi⊠le parfum est conquĂȘte, le parfum est exploration. Pour donner Ă cette tradition une expression contemporaine, je fais appel Ă mes propres Ă©motions, Ă mon intuition, car rien nâest plus universel que lâintime⊠Câest donc une parfumerie dâauteur, personnelle et artisanale, crĂ©Ă©e Ă partir des matiĂšres premiĂšres les plus nobles, que je veux offrir. Souffle des dieux, Ă©moi des corps⊠Pour partir Ă la conquĂȘte du plus complexe et du plus mystĂ©rieux des empires: lâempire des sens.»
extracts, he has set up a production unit for essential oils in Madagascar. Through his perfumes, he expresses the fleeting moments of emotion conjured by blends of the most beautiful raw materials, coveted for centuries for their refinement.â From time immemorial and in every culture, explains Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, perfume has been about seduction and spirituality. With Parfum dâEmpire, I wanted to bring it back its original meaning, its erotic and sacred origins. Amorous conquest, spiritual conquest, self-conquest: perfume is a conquest, perfume is an exploration. To give a contemporary expression to this tradition, I draw on the noblest of raw materials, but also on my emotions and on my intuition, because nothing is more universal than what is most intimate. The breath of the gods and the emotion of the f lesh⊠My scents are an invitation to explore the most complex and mysterious of empires: the realm of the senses.â
