How to choose a fragrance for a first date
A first date is like a little performance where every detail matters. Clothes, tone of voice, glance...
The world first encountered Mal-Aimé by Parfum d'Empire in 2021. A unisex fragrance belonging to the green and gourmet families. Perfumer Marc-Antoine Corticchiato left a distinct mark on this composition. The fragrance is presented as eau de parfum.
Produced in France, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Mal-Aimé Parfum d'Empire unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Mal-Aimé is shaped as an expressive line of development, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Parfum d'Empire is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Gourmet, Floral, Drinks and Citrus. The palette also extends to Aromatic, Fairy, Earthy / Mossy and Green. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Gourmet and Green.
As soon as the fragrance opens you catch caramel-milky first notes: Blackberry Syrup, Datura, Gin and Lemon.
In the middle phase you meet Datura, Nettle and Thistle keeping a lavender-sage direction. At the foundation the structure settles through Datura and Iris, reinforcing a warm petal trail.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Powdery and Alcoholic with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
In summary Mal-Aimé holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.
