Navitus Parfums 2021 Extrait

Empyreal

by Francis Kurkdjian , Jérôme di Marino

Navitus Parfums Empyreal is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Francis Kurkdjian and Jérôme di Marino. Empyreal opens with Plum and Orange, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Suede, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, and Birch Tar. Navitus Parfums's Empyreal carries an Acquired verdict, a cacao-led wear.

A truly delectable and sophisticated gourmand for those who like their sweetness with an edge. It's divisive, with some finding it a powdery cocoa bomb, but many laud its smooth, darker chocolate-orange elegance. Not quite a clone, but definitely a strong contender in the Feve Delicieuse category.

As an extrait, Empyreal commands significant presence, making it less ideal for a strict office environment. It shines on dates and casual outings, providing a warm, inviting aura. While a touch too gourmand for very formal events, its refined woody base allows it to pass in some settings.

About

Empyreal opens with a juicy burst of orange and plum, quickly blending into a rich, powdery cacao heart. Suede and tonka bean provide a smooth, almost creamy texture, often described as cocoa butter or even baked goods. The base sinks into a refined medley of vetiver, guaiac wood, and a hint of birch tar, lending a sophisticated, slightly smoky depth to the gourmand sweetness.
