The story behind the bottle.
Empyreal by Navitus Parfums is a fragrance for women and men launched in 2021. Created by Francis Kurkdjian and Jérôme di Marino, this composition balances the warmth of cacao pod with the earthiness of suede and birch tar. The Brazilian orange and plum notes lend a fruity-citrus brightness that contrasts beautifully against the woody and spicy undertones of guaiac wood and tonka bean. Empyreal is a harmonious blend of indulgence and restraint, making it a scent for those who appreciate complexity.
Apply Empyreal lightly; the rich, indulgent notes develop on skin over time. The fruity-citrus top notes are most prominent for the first hour but give way to the deeper woody and spicy base notes that persist throughout the day.
