Matiere Premiere, which in French means "raw material", is a perfume brand that revolves around a central natural ingredient, used in its highest dosage. Founder and perfumer Aurélien Guichard, between Paris and Grasse, creates contemporary, direct and understandable fragrances that reveal the unique texture and the most beautiful facets of each central ingredient. The brand's approach is focused on excellence and quality, favouring ethical and organic production methods.
The fragrances of Matiere Premiere are composed to offer an unrivalled emotional impression, a sillage that will never fade. The brand pays particular attention to each stage of the ageing process, from maturation to maceration, to guarantee unique quality. The fragrances contain between 85% and 92% natural ingredients and are vegan, phthalate-free and dye-free.
In 2016, Aurélien Guichard founded an organic farm in Grasse, where he grows thousands of Centifolia Roses and Tuberoses in an exceptional terroir recognised as an Immaterial Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2018. The flowers are used to produce the Tuberose Absolute and Enfleurage, the heart of their French Flower fragrance. Each year, harvesting takes place for 30 days in May, and the flowers are picked every morning and taken immediately to a nearby factory to produce the Absolute of Rose Centifolia, the main ingredient in Radical Rose. "Growing our flowers is a way to reconnect with the essence of a perfumer's work: creating the fragrance itself, but also supervising the quality and production methods of the raw material," says Aurélien Guichard.
The fragrances of Matiere Premiere offer a unique approach to perfumery, with a particular focus on natural ingredients, unparalleled quality and ethical production methods. From the central natural ingredient used in each fragrance to the careful ageing process, every step is taken to ensure a unique and exceptional fragrance experience.
