While each Parfum d'Empire fragrance is a call to travel, it's rare for them to transport us to the heart of Asian lands. However, this is precisely the case with the Osmanthus Interdite fragrance. It seems to have drawn inspiration from the Chinese empire. However, make no mistake, this is not about modern-day China. Osmanthus Interdite refers to the Chinese Empire of the past, specifically its ancestral wisdom. It's worth noting that drawing inspiration from ancient powers has become a true leitmotif for the brand. Osmanthus Interdite is just another way for Parfum d'Empire to immerse us in the glorious history of a people. China is viewed through a fantasized Western lens, transporting us to the heart of an imperial palace filled with flowers and fruits. The result is an absolutely enveloping scent, like a magical painting worthy of the expertise of the Parfum d'Empire brand.
OSMANTHUS INTERDITE, A FLORAL CONCENTRATE
As its name suggests, Osmanthus Interdite clearly highlights one of China's emblematic flowers: the osmanthus. However, this flower proves particularly complex and is explored from multiple perspectives. Indeed, Parfum d'Empire sought to express Chinese philosophy through it – a symbol of perpetual movement, energy, and life. Osmanthus Interdite thus combines the velvety, fruity aspect of apricot with the softness of suede. Similarly, the osmanthus releases its fragrance, slightly reminiscent of tea. This effect is further accentuated by the presence of green tea. Rose essence, meanwhile, contributes to the overall elegance. Likewise, jasmine sambac absolute envelops the whole in opulent richness. Finally, Osmanthus Interdite culminates in a true surge of sensuality residing in the velvety animality of musk. The whole displays a crystalline purity. Osmanthus Interdite is a seductive fragrance of delicate subtlety. It is similar to the secret blossoming of the plants of the Middle Kingdom. The whole seems to summarize in itself what the art of perfumery is.
