Matiere Premiere Fragrances

Matière Première is a French niche perfume house founded by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, who builds each fragrance around an emphasized central material. Guichard also cultivates centifolia rose, tuberose, and lavandin in the Grasse region, giving the house a direct connection to several of its ingredients. Radical Rose surrounds rose with saffron and patchouli, while Falcon Leather contrasts birch tar with saffron and labdanum. Encens Suave, Parisian Musc, Santal Austral, and Vanilla Powder explore incense, ambrette, sandalwood, vanilla, woods, resins, and modern gourmand textures. Matière Première suits those seeking focused genderless perfumes with clear structures, strong diffusion, and familiar materials presented in a direct contemporary style.
