While going over the list of fragrances out of this house,I see that there’s no mention of Eau De Gloire edc limited edition on this list. While I’ve never smelled the edt juice,I can say that I have really been enjoying the edc for winter formula a great deal. The edt sounds like a hit from the reviews read in comment section. Maybe one day I will find a sample of the edt for comparing. A2!

Herbal and green at the start but it gets better with time as the strong herbal smell fades and the leather note comes in the front. I would rather spray this in my gloves and just leave it there. The leather note here reminds me a bit of Je Suis Un Homme. But it is a quite unique scent I must admit. Do not blind buy it!

On the mouillette this is Bel Ami d’Hermes variation Moschino pour Homme. Almost Totally. On my skin this is more soapy, smoky, peppery, canphor, sort of virgin bag leather, fresh made leather I mean
A sweetish leather in little green little spicy little aromatic dress and fresh shoes.
gromcik – :
Simply beautiful, pleasant and sophisticated. Very nice and calm fragrance

Beautiful aerial overture,fresh and relaxing.Remind me Corsica Furiosa,its herbal nuances.But after an hour on my skin I can detect only a dry leather,masculine and bitter.What a pity.
embankiweem – :
Smells rather herbal and medicinal. Definitely a witch crushing mysterious ingredients from the forest with a mortar and pestle, in order to make a potion that will cure melancholy, or maybe cause it. Anise, lavender, moss, rosemary, and bergamot. Drink up, my pretty. I promise it isn’t poison…

ادكلني با رايحه گياهي – ادويه اي – صمغي
در ابتدا ، رايحه اي گياهي و ادویه ای و مرکباتی آبدار و شاداب و كمي پودری ، با حسي کاملا مردانه هست. حس نسبتا شيرين گياهي ، از لاوندر ( اسطوخودوس ) كه بيشترين نقش رو از ابتدا تا انتهاي عمر عطر بازي ميكنه و حس پودري ، از وجود ادويه ها و حس مركباتي ، از برگاموت و ليمو و نارنگي و مخصوصا شكوفه بهار نارنج ( نرولي ) هست . در مرحله بعدي شيريني خاكي انيس و شيرين بيان ، بیشترین رایحه و نقش رو در تغيير نتهاي اين ادكلن داره وسپس به مقدار جزئی هم بوی با طراوت گل دگمه ای و همچنين رایحه ضعیفی از مرکبات از نت اول وجود خواهند داشت . در مرحله بعد رايحه نتها ، تاریک وكمي سنگين و كمي تلخ ميشن كه ناشي از وجود نتهاي چرم و تنباکو و همچنين گل لادن و نتهای قوی رزینی و بالساميكي كه از كندر ناشي ميشه ، هست . در اواخر اين مرحله رایحه ای معطر گیاهی کاملا تاریک و کمی پودری داريم كه كاملا حس خاكي داره .
بطور كلي ميشه گفت رايحه غالب اين ادكلن وقتي كه با مقداري فاصله ، استشمام بشه ، شبيه بوي ادكلنهاي نفيس و عالي است و به محض اينكه از نزديكتر بو كنيم ، به وضوح عمق و حس تاريكي رو بطور نه چندان سنگين ، حس خواهيم داد.اين ادكلن ، از نوع مديترانه اي با حسي خاكي اورينتال هست و رايحه هاي اون ، حقيقتا ، ظريف و خلاقانه و تر و تازه ، طراحي شده. همچنين رايحه ها ، كاملا روشن و شفاف و تميز حس ميشن و ساخت دقيق و خلاقانه اون ، از نظر بالانس رايحه نتها ، فوق العاده هست ، طوري كه باعث خلق كيفيتي بسيار بالا شده است.
پخش رایحه این ادکلن ، بيشتر از متوسط و موندگاری آن خوب است.

Beautiful fragrance retro style, very Mediterranean court, which reminds me a bit to the old eaux de toilettes that put me every day my mother when I was child, this has much to do as citrus, lavender and oak moss.
Admission is soft, very fresh with a floral point and another point very aromatic maintained for almost the whole evolution of the fragrance, this balance is very well managed. Rounding is very good, to achieve Corticchiato makes all this mixture becomes more complex: the anis, tea and snuff rounded stockings and leather notes kept at bay oak moss.
The aroma is not very powerful or burdensome, and very aggressive but if it is very delicate and elegant, perfect for daytime use and warm days for their soft and beautiful trail.
Rating: 7.5

Of course it has been discontinued, why wouldn’t it when I love it so much?
Apparently I bought the last sample of it from LS. When I returned for a bottle I saw that it is discontinued. I found a decant on The Perfumed Court and bought the remaining precious drops. Sigh.
It is simply the best fresh/spicy/incense/green fragrance I have smelled. Sensuous even, and somewhat animalic on me. Bergamot is soft, not screaming and blended to perfection with other notes, drying down to a worn suede jacket steeped in light smoke of incense. Beautiful for year-round wear and worth it to buy one of the bottles left on ebay. Which I will.
PdE is a master perfumer.

This fragrance is a lazy stroll through the woods on a warm spring day after a night of light rain. The woods are filled with various plants, herbs and flowers that add to the aroma of the walk. I stumble upon an old leather satchel filled with citrus and licorice. Taking the bag with me, I walk for hours until the woods turn into an expansive herb garden with incense softly blowing over the field. This is the vibe I get out of Eau De Glorie. A beautifully balanced, well blended and a very natural scent.
EDG starts off as a clean, green, tea, moss, citrus scent with whiffs of floral and licorice on my skin. Soon a powdery note enters, quickly followed by a soft leather mixed with fresh tobacco notes that help to add to the earthy vibe. In the dry-down I get a very herbal scent with an incense top.
Overall this is a soft scent, but present, not a skin scent. It is has a fresh spicy feel that is both refined and elegant, but more a casual fragrance than a suit fragrance IMO.
Although this is listed as Unisex, I find it more masculine than feminine to my nose.
Bottom line: This is not a ground breaking scent, but it is beautifully one. It is a great all round scent, good for almost any occasion. You should try a sample of this.

“Eau Chyprée” ***
Another good one from PdE.
I love eaux…and when there is something different like in this one, it becomes much more appealing! The anisé touch and the suede note do it for me.
Neither the best leathery cologne, that remains ELdO’s Je Suis Un Homme, nor the best with immortelle, being Dior’s Eau Noire my choice.
Nevertheless, Eau de Gloire has some character with its chypré twist.
Schmied85 – :
L’Eau de Gloire : before trying it, I thought it was something complex and sophisticated, something to wear in great society.
You may, but not only!
Pyramid is complex but it results a simple, evident, elegant and fresh fragrance.
With this one, imagine yourself alone in an aromatic landscape, “le maquis”, opening an “eau de vie” bottle, let’s say a “chartreuse”:
“Mon verre est plein d’un vin trembleur comme une flamme”
Guillaume Apollinaire, Nuit rhénane,Alcools.
Take time. A contemplative one, 8/10

Opens medicinal, spicy, quite masculine (lavender) and a bit powdery, mixed with citrus notes. Soon the notes mellow down into a powdery blend of spices and herbs. Star anise is the strongest, with a hint of immortelle and clove and a tiny bit of citrus. Then darker notes appear, tobacco, leather and strong resinous notes. The scent mellows down into a herbal aromatic scent, quite dark and a bit powdery. The tea notes also show up in this phase. The drydown reminds me of a bundle of various dried herbs, with earthy notes as well. It is a bit dusty and smoky, with liquorice and fresh citrus on top.
Sillage moderate to heavy, longevity moderate.
This is a quite dark and heavy scent, very masculine (not sure if I can pull this off). Very earthy. The leather turns into some sort of earthy dusty note on my skin, like dried soil that you are crumbling between your fingers. Quite pleasant, but maybe a wee bit too masculine for me to wear. I would however very much like to smell this on someone else and use the bottle occasionally!

Chemical plant let-down. No notes, just odors of the synthetic variety.

This is by far the most effortlessly elegant fragrance i own so far. Not an elegance of high heels and long gowns, but the “sporty”, casual natural elegance of simple yet well made, high quality things. Simply stunning.
Inspired in Napoleon and old school perfumery, this wonderful EDT opens with a very herbal blast of sweet lavender with some citrus notes on top. Lavender is the main player in this perfume, but as it warms up in the skin the depth of it’ base composed with leather, tobacco (both very noticeable), clove, a tiny bit of sirupy immortelle and resins starts to be very apparent. The over all effect is similar to an exquisite cologne smelt from some distance, but as you come closer you can clearly detect it’s depth, and “dark side”, but never feeling heavy, it pretty much stays very herbal (quite an intensive herbal feel..almost effervescent to the nose at first even tho it calms down to a smoother creamier base), “naturally clean” (not soapy at all) but keeping the sweetness of the lavender from beginning to the end.
In it’s final stages the dense resinous base turns into the mail player, but still holds some herbal sweetness from the lavender, and the scent stays closer to the skin in a warm, cozy layer. it also turns slightly more animalic, rather than naturally herbal clean.
A masterpiece perfectly blended, hidden under it’s “simple elegance” appearance. But make no mistake, there’s depth there and there’s a very skilled hand behind the creation of this perfume.
10/10 and this line consolidating more and more in my top 3 fav houses. Amazing quality for it’s price (even for the new prizes)

FRESH SOUR LEMON
There is nothing artificial about this – very natural smelling.
I did not get any leather notes (could that be the sour?)
I’m not a big citrus fan – they tend to sour on my skin.
But this fragrance’s ‘sour’ note is intentional. It smells ‘real’ – not a deterioration of some note with my own skin’s chemistry.
This could be a nice find for someone looking for a unique fresh citrus fragrance.
hatunzew – :
Las notas de: lavanda, musgo de roble bergamota y anis estrellado, la hace muy aromática. Me parece muy completa para ser unisex.
También tiene su toque de historia ya que fué creada por Marc-Antoine Corticchiato en homenaje a Napoleón.
xrumerre – :
Fresh but not too citric like many summer/spring fragrances nowadays. For me ‘Eau de Gloire’ is an excellent fresh, aromatic, slightly sweet warm weather fragrance. On my skin I can smell sweet amber (I know it is not listed as a note… might be the mixture of other ingredients that reminds me of amber), light tobacco, smooth leather. They all blend together perfectly. Interestingly it smells rather spicy and fougere on me. The price is also affordable, compared to other niche fragrances. Sillage and longevity is moderate. I can only recommend this.
SDren – :
OK, it can’t be a coincidence. This is at least the 3rd time that a PdE scent has reignited my passion for perfume after I lost interest.
Eau de Gloire is exquisite. It’s actually a two-in-one fragrance. During the first phase it’s a very fine lavender and leather cologne, elegant, sophisticated, piquant-sour, with a hint of tobacco. Nothing groundbreaking so far, but unusually well done, of very high quality, the citruses, the herbs, the spices, all top-notch. That alone makes it stand out from the rest these days.
Nothing suggests what’s about to come. A couple of hours after application the scent morphs into a rich, resinous, ambery brew with a jammy-dried fruit vibe, sweet, full-bodied, warm. Lutens sends his greetings at this point. It stays like this for hours. Before it fades away, the leather note reappears to remind you of the remarkable progress this scent has made during the wear.
Sillage and lasting power are both excellent.

Parfum d’Empire, Eau de Gloire. I am sitting opposite my father, he wears this scent today, and I smell a mix of a soft fougere and a mesmerizing smokey, ambery, tobacco scent.
k0s777 – :
Herbal yet crispy, refreshing, rich and spicy at the same time. Love from the first sniff, maybe a masterpiece? 🙂 Even if it’s a man’s fragrance, I think everyone should try it out, the anise and lavender are so good together.
UsalBoroloart – :
For some reason the various and sundry components of Parfum d’Empire EAU DE GLOIRE add up to sage and light leather to my nose. I would describe this creation as fairly herbal and a bit earthy. Although I do detect leather, it’s a mild version, not a hard-hitting one as in this house’s AMBRE RUSSE. When I first donned EAU DE GLOIRE, it seemed obviously to be a men’s cologne, although not as brash as some of them are.
EAU DE GLOIRE smells much simpler than its pyramidal note line-up would lead one to expect. On my skin, it is rather linear and really does smell much more like sage and leather than any of the other usually readily identifiable notes: lavender, rosemary, oakmoss, etc. I like this low-key, natural-smelling composition, which has a bit of a chypre vibe, although it’s somehow more gray than green.
lerik-valerik17 – :
To id : in fact, it’s a false EDT and a real EDP ! The perfumer told me that it was his first fragrance for Parfum d’Empire, and at that time his colleagues recommended him to call it EDT, in spite of its EDP concentration. Because it was more usual at that time for a mixt fragrance, I suppose. Afterwards, he asserted himself and called EDP all his other creations.
Kapantese – :
The opening reminds me of Zig Zag by Dana because of prominent lavender and anise notes. The difference comes only after but still it is not worth the money. I was expecting leather and tobacco but all I got was, as tessture already mentioned, only tobacco dust and no trace of leather at least on my skin. Alas. Longevity is good considering this is EDT.
dobid – :
For me, there is no problem of remanence, it stays all day long, and very faithfully to the first minutes’ olfactive image ; so it’s not very “progressive” on my skin, just deliciously fresh, aromatic and quite syrupy. It reminds me of sweet liqueurs such as the french Chartreuse. We should point out the presence of everlasting flower (immortelle), which play an important part in that Corsican inspired fragrance. The nose Marc-Antoine Corticchiato is Corsican himself, and maybe you can feel that this composition really tells a true-life story.
irishk.78 – :
To me this smells like woody oriental fragrance, starting off with quite a lot of bergamot (which I adore, when it’s done well), lavender, some licorice and a leathery background. About fifteen minutes in, I can smell mainly leather, a lot of tobacco and some incense, and I find it very nice, up to the point of considering a purchase. It’s mildly sweet, well rounded and completely wearable for a girl. Doesn’t last that long, but it lingers on your skin for some time.
ImmidePiesy – :
Could I say that this eau de toilette has a particular character? I think it has the character that we want to take, leading to the memory of an important moment of our lives. In my case this scent takes me to decisions, to distant places, but not for its components but by what it makes me feel. There is an olfactory journey, it is rather an introspective journey through an olfactory pathway.
Баронесса – :
I bought a sample of this and I really like this scent. It doesn’t last too long but I like it enough to consider buying a larger size.
selen13 – :
Listed notes are: Lemon, orange, bergamot, lavender and Neroli, leather, sweet tobacco and olibanum. Starts bright and fresh,a lovely summery scent, but dry down turns dusty on me, as if it burned out all that lovely olfactory sunshine in the first two hours then had nothing left to give but a faint residue of tobacco dust and the gray soft dust you find on books when the library really needs attention. A shame. Hopefully it works better on others: The onset is very refreshing and light.
