Été Immortel - A journey to Corsica
The island of beauty, where summers never fade
Close your eyes. Imagine the warmth of the Corsican sun on your skin, the whisper of the wind through the wild grasses, the intoxicating scent of the maquis dried by the summer heat. Welcome to Corsica, the island that captures your heart and never lets go.
This is exactly the journey that Poécile wanted to capture in its new fragrance: Été Immortel. An aromatic and sun-kissed fragrance, born from the landscapes of the island of beauty, created for those who want to escape without even moving.
The Corsican maquis, an olfactory treasure
To understand Été Immortel, you first have to understand the Corsican maquis. It is not simply vegetation: it is an identity. A wild and generous landscape covering a large part of the island, made up of aromatic plants that the sun transforms every summer into true olfactory treasures.
Thyme growing between the rocks. Wild mint lining the paths. Chamomile blooming in spring and drying under the July heat. And above all, Corsican immortelle, this one-of-a-kind golden flower, the emblem of the island, which withstands everything and never fades.
It is this living, sun-drenched and captivating maquis that can be found at the heart of Été Immortel. A rare and precious ingredient, faithfully recreated by perfumer Patrice Revillard.
Été Immortel: a breakdown of the notes
Été Immortel is a unisex aromatic fragrance, concentrated at 18%. It evolves beautifully on the skin and tells a different story throughout the day.
Top notes: the freshness of Corsican citrus fruits
The first impression is bright and sparkling. Bergamot and clementine burst forth with the first spray. It evokes a summer morning in the hills of the island, with citrus trees growing on terraces and filling the air with their fresh scent. A joyful and invigorating opening that instantly makes you want to escape.
Heart notes: immortelle and the maquis
The heart of the fragrance is where you truly feel transported to the island. Immortelle takes centre stage: honeyed, slightly spicy and incredibly complex. It is surrounded by the herbs of the maquis: mint, thyme and chamomile. A wild and authentic aromatic trio that gives Été Immortel its unique and instantly recognisable character.
This is where the magic happens. Close your eyes and you are lying in the maquis, the sun warming your face, the hot herbs beneath your fingers. Time stands still.
Base notes: the power of Corsican nature
Cistus resin, juniper wood and mineral notes anchor the fragrance in something deeper and more earthy. It evokes sun-warmed rocks, resins flowing from tree trunks and stone after the rain. A woody and mineral base that lingers on the skin and recalls the quiet strength of the island.
Corsican immortelle, the note that never fades
If Été Immortel carries this name, it is of course because of immortelle. This golden-yellow flower that grows wild in the Corsican maquis is one of the rarest and most precious notes in perfumery.
Its scent is difficult to describe because it is so unique: honeyed, spicy, slightly curry-like and deeply floral. Corsicans call it the flower that never dies because it keeps its colours and shape long after being picked.
In perfumery, immortelle is a distinctive note, one that brings depth and character to a fragrance. It is what makes Été Immortel unlike any other perfume. It is what gives it its soul.
How to wear Été Immortel?
Été Immortel is a unisex, versatile and generous fragrance. Here are a few tips to enjoy it to the fullest.
Spray on well-moisturised skin for better longevity. Focus on warm areas such as wrists, neck and the inside of your elbows, and let the fragrance develop naturally without rubbing it in. Concentrated at 18%, it offers excellent staying power and an elegant trail from morning to evening.
This summer, Corsica invites itself onto your skin. All that is left is to close your eyes and escape.
