Parfum d'Empire fragrances are always highly concentrated both in rich natural essences and intense emotion. But even so, Azemour stands apart. Just as Eau de Gloire was a tribute to Corsica, the homeland of Marc-Antoine Corticchiato's family, Azemour is a loving reminiscence of Morocco where he was born and grew up.

The name is taken from the ancient city of Azemmour on the Atlantic coast, near the orange groves his parents once owned. As for the scent, it is an olfactory landscape that captures the exhilarating fragrances of the orange tree, from the fruit and leaves to the flowers and bark, generously sprinkled with a blend of spices.

A glorious quality of hay absolute, oak moss and henna absolute – a typically Moroccan scent reminiscent of Argentinean maté – conjure the dry vegetation of the groves and dunes. A tiny, briny accent (no, it isn't an aquatic note) adds a touch of sea spray. Wood notes trace the undulating silhouettes of cypresses in the Atlantic wind.

And best of all, for those of us who love classic fragrance families, Azemour is a robust, vibrant, hesperidic chypre, so full-fleshed you'll feel you could bite it.

Here's what other people are saying about Azemour les Orangers...

I have owned a bottle of Musc Tonkin from the same brand perfumer for years and didn't think I really liked other scents from the line... this fragrance is simply a masterpiece and I'm not one to say that lightly... A masterpiece in the way that Mitsouko or 1000 (Patou) or Aromatics Elixir are masterpieces... Seriously that profound - it WANTS to be vintage, but doesn't go there (which is great).. it's absolutely among the best citrus, woody (leather?), chypre scents ever made... And of course everyone can wear whatever they want, but this is very masculine to me... Wow. If you like vintage chypre fragrances you absolutely need to buy a sample.. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Beautiful complex orange that almost smells hay-like, with a nice soft touch of leather and patchouli.

I made an A/B comparison of this against Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Forte and this was better. Where the Ford was a simple handful of crushed orange leaves and blossoms, Azemour had a contrasting undercurrent of oakmoss which my nose found…perhaps not completely pleasant, but certainly much more interesting. A complex citrus, if that’s what you’re looking for.

Exquisite, intriguing, cleansing to the mind and body. Oranges, tangerine and clementine always bestow cheer and deliciousness, but here they are given an entirely novel spin with exotic spices and botanicals: they are never permitted to bloom into a candylike sweetness-- pepper, hay, galbanum and geranium modulate them a thoughtful, pleasantly bitter, herbacious intrigue, all drying to a princely, intelligent chypre, kissed with pastoral hay, a ghosted patchouly and moss. Cumin is only breathed here, never "sweaty". Sophisticated, intimate, unique, multidimensional. Unisex, but will make for an outstanding masculine.

Very Realistic walk thru an orange grove. Very pleasant. I bought the Mazzolari Fleurs D'oranger instead, however, as I thought this was a better room scent than a perfume.

By Laura - Systems Engineer from Austin on 3/7/2018

Nice, mild, orangey, but a darker orange rather than bright and fresh.

By Seline - teacher from Chi on 6/26/2017

Starts with bright and inspiriting oranges and other citrus, but goes flat and acrid on me quite quickly.

By Amy - Writer and teacher from Cambridge on 5/24/2016

I bought my first bottle in 2012, and it did not run out until about two months ago, whereupon I purchased another. Luckily, there haven't been any changes to the formula and it still smells the same. I love it, it is the only perfume I use. I spray it on my clothes, my uniforms, even my sheets so I can sleep in the smell. It is strong, with great lasting power. I will continue to buy this until they stop making it, at which point I'll probably go into mourning.

Years ago I took a trip to Central Florida during the time of the year when the orange groves were past blossoming, fruit was forming but not ready for harvest. The air was redolent with the scent of the orange trees, woody and green, with the slightly tart tang of citrus. I loved it and so hoped someone would capture that moment in the life of the fruit tree with a perfume. This is it.

By teri - human resources from denver on 11/9/2015

Top note gives of the true henna which I love; it quickly dies down to a generic orange/leathery scent. It's nice, no doubt, but it's masculine, in my opinion. Not for a woman, even those who tend to go for masculine scents. Nothing out of the ordinary, either. But sure enough, it's nice. Just average.

By Claire - accounting clerk from Louisville, KY on 8/3/2012

Pleasant, orange-y scent but nothing special. Last about 20 minutes on me.

By Elle - Writer from DC on 4/20/2012

A beautiful, smooth, true leather chypre that is startingly reminiscent of horse. Easily the crown jewel of this line.
