About This Perfume
Think smoky incense, sweet resin, red apple hush: that is Parfum d'Empire Wazamba. It opens with incense, cypress and red apple, moves into myrrh, olibanum and labdanum and settles on resin, opoponax and sandalwood. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2009.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and smoky for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike smoky fragrances.
Around $140.

Parfum d'Empire perfumes people talk about most
Ambre Russe (2003) smells like champagne-soaked leather with smoky amber warmth; vodka and champagne open it and amber, incense and musk close it.
Cuir Ottoman (2006) is powdery leather gloves in resin incense smoke, using iris, labdanum and Egyptian jasmine, then incense, vanilla and tonka bean.
The greenest of the three, Corsica Furiosa (2014), reads as fresh cut grass with mint, lime and resinous pepper, and lists tomato leaf, mastic, hay and moss among its notes.
