MATIERE PREMIERE introduces a collection of five new Extraits de Parfum creations, inspired by Crystal Saffron, Santal Austral, Radical Rose, Encens Suave and Falcon Leather.

“With this collection of MATIERE PREMIERE Extraits de Parfum, I wanted to reach a balance between olfactive richness and edginess. More palpable textures, profound quality, deeper comfort.”

Aurélien Guichard, Founder and Creative Perfumer

One common creative approach for all the Extraits de Parfum:

– a higher perfume concentration

– a higher dosage of the central main ingredient

– the addition of a guest ingredient to bring a new facet to the note

CRYSTAL SAFFRON
Extrait de Parfum

Main ingredient: Saffron Oil Greece

Guest Ingredient: Myrrh Oil Somalia

“Myrrh is a textured note, often used to bring an ambery aspect to compositions. I see myrrh as a luminous black color. It brings a round richness to the radiant, vibrant aspects of Crystal Saffron.”

Aurélien Guichard, Founder and Creative Perfumer

SANTAL AUSTRAL
Extrait de Parfum

Main ingredient: Organic Sandalwood Oil Australia

Guest Ingredient: Black Cardamom Absolute Nepal

“I’ve used a Black Cardamom Absolute that was exclusively developed for MATIERE PREMIERE. It brings a unique intensity, both smoky and woody. It takes Santal Austral to more spicy and vibrant territories.”

Aurélien Guichard, Founder and Creative Perfumer

RADICAL ROSE
Extrait de Parfum

Main ingredient: Rose Centifolia Absolute France, extracted from roses organically grown by MATIERE PREMIERE

Guest Ingredient: Immortelle Absolute Croatia

“I chose Immortelle for its very pronounced character, between salt and flower. It highlights a deeper, more robust side of the rose note, adding a darker, more mineral aspect to Radical Rose.”

Aurélien Guichard, Founder and Creative Perfumer

ENCENS SUAVE
Extrait de Parfum

Main ingredient: Resin Incense Somalia

Guest Ingredient: Amber

“I love the ambery, gold and brown hues of an incense rock. With this amber note made of resins, a classic in French Perfumery, I wanted to amplify the impression of warm richness in Encens Suave.”

Aurélien Guichard, Founder and Creative Perfumer

FALCON LEATHER
Extrait de parfum

Main ingredient: Birch Tar Finland

Guest Ingredient: Oud Assafi Oil Bangladesh

“This particular Oud, considered as one of the most qualitative in the world, is incredibly deep, dark and rich. It brings warmth, while emphasizing the literal, sleek-side and suede-side leathery aspect in Falcon Leather.”
