EGOCENTRIQUE

Egocentrique is the unisex eau de parfum by Coreterno, the Italian house conceived in Rome in 2015 and launched in New York under the artistic direction of Michelangelo Brancato, signed by perfumer Ashley Santiago and launched in 2026. A dark-souled amber woody fragrance built on the contrast between citrus light and vanilla depth, for those who are the centre of their own universe.

The Fragrance

Coreterno defines it as "a manifesto of radical self-love, a collision of opposites where brightness cuts through the dark". Egocentrique is a journey from emotional rupture to self-rediscovery, a passage from shadow to light: a fragrance that proudly claims the right to take centre stage, with the rock and underground energy that sets the house apart.

How It Evolves on Skin

Egocentrique opens with the powerful spark of yuzu, fused with the vibrant energy of green mandarin and bergamot: a blade of golden light slicing through the shadows. The heart pulses with hypnotic magnetism: the spicy soul of akigalawood and the creamy one of Dominican Republic amyris are softened by the powdery whisper of heliotrope. The base reveals the most tactile, sensual side of the composition: a textured black vanilla, slightly smoky and leathery, dances with the ancient warmth of labdanum and musk.

Who We Recommend Egocentrique To

We recommend Egocentrique to those who love vanilla and woody ambers but want a luminous opening that makes them more vibrant, and to those looking for a self-assured fragrance that moves from light to shadow. It is perfect in autumn and winter, in the evening and on every occasion when you want to take centre stage. Unisex, it looks great on both him and her.

Our Opinion

Egocentrique has a name that promises character and delivers it all the way: it is bold, magnetic and knows exactly what it wants. We love how it manages to be luminous and deep at the same time, leaving a feeling of confidence that is hard to find elsewhere.
