Aurélien Guichard, heir to a line of perfumers going back seven generations and founder of Matiere Premiere, embodies a unique approach by highlighting the intrinsic beauty of each raw material. His modern, refined and authentic creations pay homage to the main ingredient, capturing the purity and essence of the material.

In the Extraits collection, the house's signatures are reinvented with more intense textures thanks to an increased concentration of the raw material. A “guest” ingredient reveals new facets of each note.

For Crystal Saffron Extrait, it is myrrh, described as “luminous black”, which illuminates the composition.

Amber, an iconic note in perfumery, is explored in Encens Suave Extrait to enrich the warm and addictive notes of the classic version.

In Santal Austral Extrait, cardamom is introduced, infusing the fragrance with a woody, amber and spicy warmth.

For Radical Rose Extrait, the perfumer revisits the centifolia rose while enhancing it with Croatian immortelle absolute.

Finally, Falcon Leather Extrait is adorned with the rare essence of oud Assafi from Bangladesh, one of the most refined in the world, which enriches the fragrance with its dark and deep notes.
