The not-quite-daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 24 May 2023 6 Comments

Parfum d’Empire celebrates their 20th anniversary with a limited edition bottle of their first fragrance, in Cologne concentration: Eau de Gloire. "To celebrate Parfum d’Empire’s 20th anniversary, what could be more logical than to go back to the house’s first iconic fragrance? Inspired by Eau de Gloire, this new creation captures the radiance of citrus fruits prized for their freshness and brilliance. Sparkling, soaring, bright, EAU DE GLOIRE COLOGNE is gorged with citrus essences of such a precious quality that no other house would dare to use them in such lavish amounts. An overdose of bitter orange, but also bergamot, mandarin… Laurel, a nod to Parfum d’Empire horseshoe-shaped laurel crown, blends with incense, a symbol of glory, and the aromatic freshness of myrtle to evoke the Corsican maquis." In 100 ml, €162.

    I’m more in dubio. I wonder how different this would be from the way the eau de parfum version smells. That one ends in a Chypre for me where the oak moss dominates for too long which I find tiring. In that regard, I’d be very interested to try this cologne version. However, I’m not sure if you’d be able to try this somewhere without going blind on a full bottle. So unsure in the end.

    Maybe a late addition to the split meet? I am traveling in a couple weeks, so I can’t add hosting it to my plate, but if someone else hosted, I would certainly sign up for 10 mls!
