Raw material of the perfume, the seed of ambrette, unique vegetal musk, is revisited here to sublimate its woody facet. Aurélien Guichard associates it with the essence of Virginia cedar wood. The fragrance's vegetal and fruity touch is brought by the discreet presence of fig. Finally, the musky side is amplified by ambrettolide and ambrox in the base. The fragrance, composed of both urban and vegetal ingredients, is both sweet and deeply woody.
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.
