Aurélien Guichard has crafted the scent of each Hand and Body lotion based on his own fragrance formulations. MATIERE PREMIERE moisturising lotions offer a textured, natural and silky finish that prolongs the scent on the skin.
A moisturising lotion born of exceptional perfumery
At MATIERE PREMIERE, the Hand and Body lotion prolongs the fragrance. Aurélien Guichard, the Maison’s Founder and Perfumer, has specifically developed each scent of the moisturising lotions around an overdose of a central natural ingredient – the same one that forms the backbone of his eaux de parfum. The result: a moisturising body lotion that leaves a fragrance on the skin that complements that of the bottle, with a longevity and sillage that accompany you throughout the day. This moisturising body lotion hydrates the hands and the whole body in a single step.
The range of hand and body lotions features the Maison’s most iconic fragrance signatures. Vanilla Powder, Radical Rose, Crystal Saffron, Parisian Musc, French Flower, Santal Austral, Encens Suave, Cologne Cédrat, Metal Lavender, Falcon Leather: each body lotion embodies the character of its eau de parfum, without compromise, yet adapted to the natural, silky texture. Each hand and body moisturising lotion contains between 85% and 92% ingredients of natural origin. The entire collection is vegan and formulated without phthalates, colourants, parabens, silicones or mineral oils.
Why choose a scented hand and body lotion?
A moisturising hand and body lotion with a high concentration of natural ingredients leaves a silky veil on the skin every day. The texture of the moisturising lotion absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue. The lotion moisturises, scents the skin and leaves it feeling soft from the moment it is applied.
What sets MATIERE PREMIERE Hand and Body Lotions apart is that the act of applying them is never just a routine. Every application also leaves a trail of scent. The hand and body moisturising lotion becomes an olfactory experience in its own right, a step in the daily ritual that prolongs the fragrance on the skin.
The MATIERE PREMIERE Hand and Body Lotion offers a recognisable olfactory signature. The lotion’s texture melts into the skin, leaving a silky film; it is quickly absorbed, and the scent lingers for a long time. This moisturising lotion transforms the daily routine into an olfactory experience. The trend in body care is towards transparency in formulations, and MATIERE PREMIERE has been practising this from day one. The body lotion is a direct illustration of this.
A vegan formula, free from phthalates and colourants
Each moisturising body lotion is developed to a strict formulation: free from phthalates, colourants, parabens, silicones, mineral oils and petrolatum. The formula is vegan. From adolescence onwards, the whole family can incorporate this Hand and Body Lotion into their daily routine, using it on their hands and all over the body.
This rigorous approach to ingredient selection reflects Aurélien Guichard’s vision. Quality is non-negotiable. Ingredients are chosen for their ability to carry the fragrance onto the skin and moisturise the body in a single step, without any artificial additives. Each body milk follows the same approach as his fragrances: raw, cultivated ingredients, chosen for their potency, with nothing superfluous. The Hand and Body Lotion perfumes and nourishes in a single step.
Ingredients cultivated and selected to the highest standards
Aurélien Guichard is the only Perfumer in the world to cultivate his own raw materials. In Grasse, on his Ecocert-certified land, he cultivates Centifolia rose, tuberose and lavandin, which feature in abundance at the heart of the Radical Rose, French Flower and Metal Lavender fragrances and Body and Hand care collections. This approach guarantees full traceability, from field to bottle, and is reflected in the texture, scent and sillage of each lotion.
Each Hand and Body lotion contains ingredients whose origin is clearly identified: vanilla from Madagascar, Centifolia rose from Grasse, saffron from Greece, sandalwood from Australia, frankincense from Oman, and tuberose from Grasse. It is these very ingredients, cultivated or selected by the Maison’s perfumer, that give the lotion its olfactory depth and its melt-in-the-skin comfort.
How to apply your moisturising lotion to prolong the scent
The MATIERE PREMIERE Hand and Body Lotion comes in a 300 ml bottle with a pump. This size allows you to dispense the desired amount, and the fluid, silky texture makes it easy to apply the lotion all over your body and hands.
After showering, whilst your skin is still slightly damp, the moisturising body lotion absorbs in a matter of seconds. Your skin becomes silky smooth, the scent unfolds as soon as it is applied, and a sense of comfort envelops your body. The moisturising body lotion can also be used at any time of day to rediscover the notes and soft texture of each fragrance and prolong the scent on your skin.
Here are a few tips for a layering routine: first, use the cleansing gel with the same fragrance signature in the shower, then apply the moisturising body lotion to the skin, followed by the perfume. This layering technique creates a scent that lasts all day long. The scented hair perfume completes this routine for a sensory experience that extends from the body to the hair.
A gender-neutral body care product
MATIERE PREMIERE does not define its products by gender. Each body moisturising lotion, like every eau de parfum from the brand, is designed without a predefined gender. It is the ingredients that speak, not a label. From adolescence onwards, the whole family can use the lotion every day, on their hands and body.
The formula of each body moisturiser is designed for everyday use. A sensation of softness, suppleness and comfort sets in from the very first application of the moisturiser to the skin. A beauty ritual and a fragrant moment become one. The MATIERE PREMIERE body range transforms the act of skincare into an olfactory ritual, enhanced by an exceptional fragrance and natural ingredients that moisturise in a single step.
