Empire 5 ml — ADN Paris
Empire is an alcohol-free perfume extract by ADN Paris, a French house founded in 2010 and devoted to alcohol-free scents. It comes in a 5 ml roll-on bottle with a silver cap, in a black box illustrated with a city at night. The brand designs it for men and describes it as a modern fragrance with gourmand and fruity accents.
Fragrance pyramid
- Top notes: vermouth, red berries
- Heart notes: bitter orange, lemon, sage, cedar
- Base notes: tonka bean, coumarin, caramel
How it unfolds
The start pairs the bitterness of vermouth with the roundness of red berries. The heart gains freshness with bitter orange, lemon and sage, which a touch of cedar makes drier. The base turns gourmand: tonka bean and coumarin wrap around a caramel. Being alcohol-free, the extract evolves slowly and stays close to the skin.
Who it is for, and when
ADN Paris recommends it for men; its gourmand notes will also appeal to fans of sweet woody scents. Its citrus notes suit the daytime, its caramel and tonka base evenings and the cold months.
How to use
Roll the ball over the wrists or neck, in one or two touches, without rubbing. Avoid direct contact with light-coloured fabrics and leather. Close the cap tightly after use.

Frequently asked questions
How does it differ from an eau de parfum? Being alcohol-free, the extract does not evaporate on contact with air: it develops more slowly on the skin, with a discreet trail. ADN Paris also sells Empire as an eau de parfum, under a different reference.
Can it be worn in summer? Yes, in a single touch: bitter orange, lemon and sage lighten its caramel base.
