Murice Imperiale – Extrait de Parfum - Petrichor, seaweed, and ambergris

Murice Imperiale – Tuberose in a Saline Embrace

Where light bends beneath the surface of the sea, a fragrance begins that crosses boundaries. Murice Imperiale by Cristian Cavagna is a floral marine scent of striking presence – wild, sensual, and infused with salt. It is the third chapter in the collection La Tuberosa secondo me, a tribute to tuberose beyond convention.

Crafted by master perfumer Arturetto Landi, this Extrait de Parfum lifts the tuberose from its tropical greenhouse and sets it adrift on the tide – between waves, rock, and the memory of disappearing shorelines.

The Opening – Sea Air and Green Fruit

The fragrance opens with the juicy, lush note of banana leaf and the bittersweet green twist of rhubarb – a rare fruit in perfumery, here delivering bright acidity. Ginger adds a sharp, vibrant touch, like sea air stirring against sun-warmed skin. Everything is alive – mineralic, fresh, and radiant.

The Heart – A Sculpture of Salt and Flower

At its core lies tuberose – opulent, white, and radiant, yet never excessive. It is surrounded by a coral accord that blends aquatic coolness with stony depth. The rare note of petrichor, the scent of wet earth after rain, evokes calm and memory. This heart pulses like a floral sculpture shaped by saltwater and silence.

The Base – Depth, Warmth, and Memory

The sea opens in the base. Ambergris brings soft, salty warmth. Red algae and sea moss encircle the creamy tuberose with a bracing marine breeze. Anchored by tuberose absolute, the fragrance remains close, rich, and resonant. A long-lasting extrait de parfum – never loud, but impossible to forget.

The Essence – Purple, Power, and Skin

The name Murice Imperiale refers to the murex shell – the ancient sea creature whose secreted purple dye was once reserved for emperors. Cavagna reimagines this legacy not as reference but as an idea: dignity, magnetism, and primal power. A fragrance that binds body and myth – intellectual, sensual, organic.

Cristian Cavagna – A Floral Reimagining

Cristian Cavagna, born in Italy in 1970, is a fragrance critic, collector, and visionary. With La Tuberosa secondo me, he builds a collection where each scent explores a different facet of the same bloom. Murice Imperiale is its maritime expression – complex, timeless, and entirely unique.
