A sensuous iris and leather oriental
Leather rubbed with powdery iris, warmed with cistus and burnt styrax, dipped in a heady oriental base of Tolu balsam, benzoin resin and incense tears… Egyptian jasmine brings opulence to the heart. Powerful and refined.
The Story - Cuir Ottoman
Though the leather note is appreciated by connoisseurs, it is so assertive it is seldom featured in perfumery. But it is one of Marc-Antoine Corticchiato’s favourite and he built his personal interpretation of it on the smoky effluvia of burnt styrax and birch.
From there, he set off for the Ottoman Empire, inspired by the secular tradition of leatherwork in Anatolia – up to the 19th century Turkish leather was the most highly coveted in Europe. He added iris, which already presents leathery facets, after learning that its powdery notes were often used to soften the smell of the finest skins.
In keeping with his theme, he steeped his iris and leather accord in incense tears and benzoin, whose balsamic accents called for vanilla – which is, along with cistus, the core of oriental perfumes. Tonka bean brings its gourmand touch: its tobacco facet intensifies the leather accord and conjures the lazy smoke of the hookah. To make this oriental leather even headier, it is wrapped in narcotic Egyptian jasmine, as white-fleshed and opulent as the odalisques painted by Delacroix, Ingres and Matisse…
je suis un homme et je l'utilise sans complexe car je le trouve viril ; ma femme trouve qu'il va mieux à un homme (sic)

Cuiré raffiné, bonne tenue comme la plupart des parfums de la Maison Parfums d'Empire !
Ma madeleine de proust inexplicable ce parfum est envoûtant
Un parfum de caractère qui laisse une empreinte inédite
me rappelle la Turquie où j'ai vécu.
C'est mon parfum depuis plusieurs années, découverte chez un nez a Paris, il me ressemble et j'adore le porter l'hiver. Surtout, c'est un parfum de niche que l'on retrouve sur personne....
