T stands for tuberose and tobacco, botanical compatriots, fond of diffusing intoxicating fragrance.
There’s an otherworldly quality to night-time Moscow, an eerie landscape of light and shadows, of sweeping towers and imposing facades — a black and white empire not built to human scale. Its dramatic character is reflected in Empire T, a fragrance straight from a noir film, conjured up from night air and cigarette ash.
A tobacco floral to find your way in the dark, lit up by Stéphanie Bakouche.
‘Imagine an elegant woman wearing furs and smoking a cigarette on a terrace of one of the Seven Sisters, Moscow’s iconic skyscrapers, in the 1980s. There’s a glitzy private party going on behind her back, under the stucco ceilings, but she’s on her own, listening in to the night and the quiet hissing of champagne in her glass; this latter note, icy and sparkling and fruity, is what the ashy, smoky tuberose of Empire T starts with. Working with Nose Republic means being able to use the finest ingredients, so let me tell you one secret of this champagne accord: it opens on a bright yet earthy, spicy yet musky ambrette seed extract.”
