Parfum d'Empire Aziyade is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato. Aziyade opens with Date, Orange, Almond, and Plum, settles into a heart of Caraway, Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tobacco. Parfum d'Empire's Aziyade carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Aziyade by Parfum d'Empire is a seriously divisive scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans adoring its spicy, fruity complexity and others recoiling from its notorious cumin note that smells like body odour. Definitely not a blind buy.

Its bold, long-lasting nature and the significant cumin element make it potentially too provocative for office wear. However, its deeply sensual and exotic profile makes it perfect for date nights and special occasions where a unique, confident statement is desired.

About

Exploding with a fizzy, cola-like sweetness from plump dates, pomegranate, and orange, Aziyade quickly morphs into an intoxicating heart of warm ginger, cardamom, and a pronounced, often polarising cumin. The drydown settles into a rich, sensual base of sweet vanilla, smoky incense, and earthy patchouli, creating an alluringly complex aroma that's equal parts sweet, spicy, and subtly animalic.
