The not-quite-daily lemming
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.

That’s Parfum d’Empire Immortelle Corse in a nutshell.
Maybe comparing the fragrance to a Broadway number is going too far, since it’s more sun-kissed peasant1 than Liza Minelli, but you get the idea…
