Corsican Heritage
Parfum D'Empire Eau de Gloire, part of the Corsican Heritage line, this fragrance was probably the first release from the house as an homage to the beautiful island of Corsica and its flavors. It was a late discovery for me. I don't know why it took me so long to try it. Maybe because of the name, while also not being mentioned a lot. It is, however, one of my favorites from the house. I think of it as an agrestic and aromatic leather-chypre. If you like perfumes like Bel Ami and more modern takes on that theme like Puredistance M, you'll find much to enjoy here. It takes that DNA and brings something unique to it. Apparently, Marc-Antoine put together not only the most "Corsican" aromas in this composition but also the flavors that supposedly were favored by the most legendary figure the small island has given us, Napoleon Bonaparte. And yes, I can totally see him wearing something like this.

The mix of notes and accords is rather bizarre and somehow feels familiar. It is a very complex and unique-smelling perfume. The opening is juicy, intensely spicy, and aromatic. Zesty clementines, lots of piquant plants and herbs, of which I strongly pick up the rosemary and myrtle. Loads of anise that pairs brilliantly with a subtle tea accord. It smells like a countryside kitchen in full action. I don't pick up the lavender, although listed, but I get the immortelle with soft tobacco and hay-like facets. The base goes strongly into the Bel Ami territory with leather and moss, a surprisingly high dose of frankincense, faint cistus, and musks. It is such a ride from the beginning, and while certain aspects of it feel familiar, at not one point does it feel repetitive. It does its own thing and stays true to its origin.

I feel this perfume is Marc-Antoine Corticchiato bottled. The very soul of Parfum D'Empire. While not my favorite from the house, I think it is the most representative and intricate among them.
And one last thing. For people who are still mourning after Œillères, I would give this one a try. From everything I have tried, to me it feels like the closest thing to the discontinued Roberto Greco scent.
A terribly underrated perfume.

Well mannered
Eau de Gloire is a spicy cologne that goes from green-aromatic to dry woody-tobacco. It cleverly bypasses the usual over-the-top masculinity and other clichés of the cologne genre, but also does not really push any boundaries.

The spicy notes are pleasant and interesting, but a little edging to culinary flavors. A bit like cumin without the sweaty effect. The tea and tobacco notes keep the scent on the dry woody side and faintly smoky. Longevity is good for a cologne; for a cologne with EDP concentration? Still okay. From the start the sillage is medium to low, I'd say.

A top quality cologne with modesty and good manners. Recommended for casual and evening wear in spring/summer.

Eau de Gloire
This fragrance opens with medicinal green notes on a base of aromatic woods and light spices. The overall effect reminds me of the central accord found in Chanel N19, even though this Parfums d’Empire is built around the idea of military rather than couture. Despite this, the scent loses its stern and sombre quality as it progresses towards the dry down: at first it morphs into a softer woodsy-aromatic fragrance, to finally become a warm, creamy woodsy base accord with light touches of citrus.

Sage-infused Light Leather
For some reason the various and sundry components of Parfum d'Empire EAU DE GLOIRE add up to sage and light leather to my nose. I would describe this creation as fairly herbal and a bit earthy. Although I do detect leather, it's a mild version, not a hard-hitting one as in this house's AMBRE RUSSE. When I first donned EAU DE GLOIRE, it seemed obviously to be a men's cologne, although not as brash as some of them are.

EAU DE GLOIRE smells much simpler than its pyramidal note line-up would lead one to expect. On my skin, it is rather linear and really does smell much more like sage and leather than any of the other usually readily identifiable notes: lavender, rosemary, oakmoss, etc. I like this low-key, natural-smelling composition, which has a bit of a chypre vibe, although it's somehow more gray than green.

Core PdE DNA. Wish lasted longer — rather understated. What to wear when a tad uncertain and not feeling too sweet.

Something between Caron 3ème homme without clove and Bel Ami without vetiver. It's reminiscent of the good old days, but lack the catch.

Very similar to Bel Ami but softer, more herbacious yet also inferior in every regard. Can't see myself ever reaching for this over Bel Ami.

For me PdE style in one word would be ’correct’. This one is mossy, aromatic, slightly leathery. Super weak though, did 6 sprays on chest.

More herbal and aromatic than citrusy. Lots of rosemary up top. Great longevity thanks to the oakmoss, which lends a balanced bitterness.
