House Parfum d'Empire
Perfumer Marc-Antoine Corticchiato
Notes orange, lime, grapefruit, resins, quince

Description This vividly colored flower, native to Southern countries, gives off a surprising scent, green and fruity, sparkling and tart. Lantana Camara unfolds playful facets of orange, lime, and grapefruits, sap effects, and a gourmand note of quince.

With these candles, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato tells strikingly natural vegetal stories. These are true perfumes, wafting strongly from the wax even when the wick isn't burning. Parfum d'Empire's candles are exceptional creations, bursting with natural raw materials, and that is the technical challenge of their composition: for these ingredients to express themselves in wax, they must be handled with flawless precision. Their development required peerless craftmanship over entire days. Dedicated to Corsica, the décor of Parfum d'Empire's candles is adorned with a map of clouds scintillating with the house's obsessions: the Island of Beauty, the horse, the vine leaf, the sea with algae, the citrus fruit.

A noble, surprising, deeply personal collection.

Customer Reviews (4.9 / 5 · 13 reviews)

Hazel ★★★★★

The grapefruit and lime opening is so zesty it instantly wakes up the room, and that quince note underneath keeps it from being just another citrus candle. It burns evenly and the scent lingers nicely for hours after I blow it out.

Charlotte U. ★★★★★

The citrus top notes hit bright and sharp when lit, but the quince and resin warmth sneaks in after about twenty minutes, making the whole room feel sun-baked. Burned it during a rainy afternoon and it genuinely lifted the mood.

Kevin C. ★★★★★

The resinous base really anchors those bright citrus notes, so the quince comes through warm rather than sharp on the burn. I lit it in the kitchen and the whole room smelled like a Mediterranean garden for hours.
