Parfum d'Empire Salute is a Parfum launched in 2019, created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato. Salute opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Grape Leaves, Iris, and Wine Lees, and dries down to a base of Oak, Musk, and Oakmoss. Parfum d'Empire's Salute carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one is genuinely divisive. Some find it a masterpiece, an artistic triumph of wine and vineyard notes; others think it's a muddled mess, smelling of stale wine or even dishwater. Definitely sample before you commit.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

About

Salute opens with a zesty burst of lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin, quickly leading into a unique heart where wine lees and grape leaves create a vinous, almost boozy accord. Iris adds a touch of powdery sophistication, while the base grounds everything in a rustic blend of oak, musk, and oakmoss, evoking the scent of a barrel-filled cellar or a sun-drenched vineyard.
