Additional information
Skin warmed by the sun. Warming white flowers.
Gardenia, champaca, ylang — sensual, milky, deeply luminous.
Some perfumes tell a story of a season — and some tell a story of a precise moment within a season. Un Bel Amour d'Été by Parfum d'Empire belongs to the second category. Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, independent perfumer and doctor in plant chemistry, founder of Parfum d'Empire, delivers here his most solar and carnally floral composition — an exploration of grand white flowers in their most summery and sensual dimension, in contrast to his dense orientals and animal musks. Un Bel Amour d'Été is the perfume for those who want summer to linger on their skin even when it's over.
In this Eau de Parfum concentration, the composition opens with a delicate floral and slightly fruity lightness. Magnolia brings a soft, slightly fruity freshness — neither too floral nor too green, a precise in-between that prepares for the floral depth that follows. Gardenia arrives at the heart in a creamy and slightly milky floral material of remarkable solar sensuality — gardenia, one of perfumery's most carnal flowers, with its facets that are at once floral, slightly milky, and slightly vanilla, immediately evoking sun-warmed skin. This is the heart of the composition — generous, solar, slightly excessive in a good way. Champaca, ylang-ylang, Madagascar vanilla, sandalwood, and ambrette settle in the base in a warm and creamy material of exceptional softness and persistence. Champaca — the flower of the Michelia champaca tree, used for centuries in Indian perfumery — brings its slightly fruity and slightly tea-like floral facets that amplify the gardenia in an exotic and golden direction. Ylang-ylang adds a slightly spicy and slightly musky floral dimension. Madagascar vanilla and sandalwood create a creamy and warm base, ambrette lingering on the skin with an organic musky softness. Un Bel Amour d'Été is a solar skin perfume — the one you wear when you want to feel the summer you've lived.
Un Bel Amour d'Été is the perfume for those who know that the most beautiful seasons never truly end — they linger on the skin.

A word from Maison Diaphane
Un Bel Amour d'Été is the Parfum d'Empire fragrance we recommend for summer or for those looking for a warm and sensual floral without excessive intensity. The gardenia at its heart is remarkably generous and solar. The champaca in the base is the note that distinguishes this composition from conventional summer florals — this slightly exotic and slightly tea-like dimension prevents the sweetness from ever seeming mundane.

Un Bel Amour d'Été Eau de Parfum by Parfum d'Empire is a floral fragrance with a feminine leaning created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato — an independent perfumer, doctor in plant chemistry, and founder of Parfum d'Empire. It explores grand white flowers in their most solar and carnal dimension — magnolia, gardenia, champaca, ylang-ylang, and Madagascar vanilla in a warm and enveloping floral composition. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer in Angers, for €143. Free delivery from €100 (in France).
Its olfactory pyramid is structured around a creamy, milky, and solar gardenia heart of remarkable floral generosity, preceded by a soft and slightly fruity magnolia opening, and extended by a warm, exotic, and persistent champaca-ylang-ylang-vanilla-sandalwood-ambrette base. As an Eau de Parfum, the composition unfolds its full solar floral sensuality and lasts for 6 to 8 hours.
Un Bel Amour d'Été is a solar and sensual floral fragrance with carnal softness and a present sillage, ideal for spring and summer, with a feminine leaning.
What is champaca and how does it differ from other base florals?
Champaca — Michelia champaca — is a tropical tree whose flower is one of the most precious raw materials in Indian and Asian perfumery. Its facets are at once floral, slightly fruity, slightly tea-like, and slightly exotic — different from all other white flowers and immediately recognizable. It is used in the base to bring an exotic floral warmth that extends the gardenia in a different direction. In Un Bel Amour d'Été, it is what prevents the composition from adhering to the codes of conventional white florals.
Is gardenia a true natural material or a synthetic accord?
Gardenia cannot be directly extracted in perfumery — the flower does not yield its fragrance through traditional extraction methods. Perfumers recreate its scent from an accord of natural and synthetic materials that capture its creamy, milky, and slightly vanilla facets. Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, with his background in plant chemistry, crafts this accord with a precision and texture that give the heart of Un Bel Amour d'Été a remarkable carnal and solar quality.
Is Un Bel Amour d'Été wearable all year round?
Its creamy floral warmth and vanilla-sandalwood base give it certain versatility — it can be elegantly worn in mild autumn and on winter evenings. But it is fundamentally a fragrance of summer warmth and light, and it expresses itself best in this context. In the dead of winter, other compositions from the house — Aziyadé, Ambre Russe — would be preferred for their density.
What season is Un Bel Amour d'Été made for?
Spring and summer — it is the most floral and carnal summer composition in the Parfum d'Empire catalog. Its creamy softness, present sillage, and solar warmth flourish with light and warmth. It is a fragrance for a summer day, an evening on the terrace, bare skin, and prolonged sun.
