About the brand Matiere Premiere

Matiere Premiere is a French niche fragrance brand born from a bold vision: to celebrate the raw beauty of natural materials by placing them at the very centre of each fragrance. Founded by master perfumer Aurélien Guichard, the brand develops direct, expressive scents built around a single dominant ingredient used in high concentration, allowing the true character of that material to shine through without compromise or artifice.

At the core of Matiere Premiere’s philosophy is a deep respect for nature and craftsmanship. Each creation begins with the careful selection of a raw material and, in some cases, Guichard even grows key ingredients himself on fields dedicated exclusively to perfume production. This farm-to-fragrance ethos gives the house a distinctive voice in contemporary perfumery, emphasising authenticity and sensory impact over complexity.

Among the brand’s standout scents are Matiere Premiere Radical Rose Eau de Parfum, Matiere Premiere Encens Suave Extrait de Parfum, and Matiere Premiere Vanilla Powder Eau de Parfum – each offering a modern interpretation of classic scent profiles through the brand’s signature minimalist yet powerful style. Together, these compositions reflect the house’s commitment to exceptional raw materials, thoughtful creation, and memorable olfactory experiences that appeal to both niche enthusiasts and lovers of elegant fragrance.
