For the Extraits collection, the iconic signatures of Aurélien Guichard are reinvented in all their quintessence. The textures become even more palpable, sensations of roundness invade thanks to a stronger dosage of the main raw material. Another secret? A guest ingredient is introduced into each creation to reveal new, unsuspected facets of the note. In Falcon Leather Extrait, the rare essence of Assafi oud from Bangladesh, one of the finest in the world, enriches the composition with its dark and deep notes.
At the top, bergamot and saffron offer a luminous and spicy opening. The heart unfolds around the labdanum cistus, bringing a resinous and warm richness. The rich and noble base reveals the subtle oud. Rich in facets, it reveals itself to be perfectly balanced with smoky accents of birch bark and gourmet notes of vanilla. Two iconic leather facets of Falcon Leather are sublimated: full-grain leather, smooth and refined, and supple, deliciously velvety suede.
The bottles of the Extraits collection retain the iconic cubic and angular shape of the classic collection, but adopt a smoked glass to accentuate the intensity of this edition.
Aurélien Guichard, born in Grasse and coming from a family of perfumers for 7 generations, signed around 100 creations before creating his own brand: Matiere Premiere. Iconic ingredients of perfumery such as musk, sandalwood, incense or neroli are revisited in order to exacerbate their unexpected facets, giving birth to "radical" fragrances.
