"All MATIERE PREMIERE fragrances are built around the 'overdose' of a single key natural ingredient. My goal in perfumery is to express the true beauty of the raw material without compromising or diminishing it in any way.
The aim of the Extrait de Parfum collection is to balance intensity and richness. I pursued both the clarity of the ingredients' texture and a pleasant depth."
—— Brand founder and perfumer Aurélien Guichard
