ATELIER MATERI

Sacred tree, sandalwood is a peculiar exotic wood. Once distilled, powerful velvety, creamy notes with smoky undertones are unleashed. In SANTAL BLOND, the perfumer Lucas Sieuzac selects an exceptional natural sandalwood from Australia and chooses to reveal its luminous facets. After a fresh and spicy opening carried by the cardamom, the perfumer pairs the sandalwood with rich floral jasmine notes and warm Tonka bean accents.

In CÈDRE FIGALIA, perfumer Céline Perdriel selects three varieties of cedar, each bringing nuance and character to the fragrance. Cedar Virginia, with its subtle and elegant notes, Cedar Alaska, for its invigorating freshness, and Cedar Atlas, for its warm and enveloping aura. Masterpiece of balance and elegance, the combination of those three varieties blends harmoniously with the fig, meticulously crafted here in its entirety to capture the refreshing essence of its foliage as well as the delightful milky sweetness of its fruit. The fragrance opens with uplifting notes of bergamot and basil, sparked by the spicy and woody facets of Jamaica pepper. In the middle, the vegetal notes of spinach and maté blend perfectly with the crisp and milky accords of the fig. All majestically carried by a sturdy, yet delicate base of cedar essence, bringing earthy depth and woody warmth to that sparkling vegetal blend.

Patchouli, a classic perfumery ingredient also known as Nilam in Indonesia, is reinvented in this Haute Couture composition. The fragrance opens with fresh and sophisticated notes of violet leaves. In its heart, the nobility of rose meets the impertinence of leather. Finally, the patchouli’s depth blends with intoxicating notes of tobacco, creating a sensual trail. CUIR NILAM, a patchouli dressed in a leather perfecto with typically Parisian elegance.

A rare variety, this white cocoa grows in the heart of the oldest plantations, in Piura, north-west Peru. Extracted by hand from the pods, the beans are fermented before being sun-dried and roasted. In order to capture the most beautiful facets of this white cocoa, the perfumer collaborated with a French Maître Chocolatier to obtain the perfect roasting, thus revealing sensual nutty and milky notes, with Tonka bean undertone. After a sweet rum opening, the perfumer Marie Hugentobler unveils the addictive bitterness of the cocoa, comforted by powdery and woody notes. A dry down of light tobacco, patchouli and sandalwood follows, giving CACAO PORCELANA its sensual and unique signature.
