Parfum d'Empire Acqua di Scandola is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato. Acqua di Scandola opens with Lemon, Basil, Artemisia, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Green Notes, Water Accord, Geranium, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Hyraceum. Parfum d'Empire's Acqua di Scandola carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly unique aquatic that splits opinion: some hail it as a masterpiece, while others are left cold by its salty, green funk. Not a safe blind buy, but worth exploring for a sophisticated take on the sea.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate performance makes it suitable for most settings, though some find its 'funky' marine quality too distinctive for formal or office wear. It truly shines in casual warm-weather scenarios, evoking a Mediterranean coastline.

About

Acqua di Scandola opens with a vivid burst of tart lemon and aldehydic sparkle, quickly joined by the aromatic greenness of basil and artemisia. As it settles, a complex aquatic heart emerges, blending cool water notes with intriguing hints of juniper and subtle, earthy seaweed. The drydown reveals a mineralic, slightly animalic depth from immortelle and hyraceum, grounded by a classic oakmoss and patchouli foundation.
