Bois d'Ebene - Eau de Parfum

Bois d’Ebene is a dark and textured composition where smoky woods and warm amber facets unfold with quiet intensity. Built around guaiac wood from Paraguay, the fragrance reveals a deep, resinous character softened by a subtle veil of warmth and spice.

Indonesian patchouli and cypriol oil from India add an earthy, almost leathery depth, while cabreuva oil from Brazil amplifies the composition’s ambered sensuality. Juniper berries introduce a crisp aromatic opening that cuts through the richness, giving the fragrance a modern clarity beneath its shadowy woods. Bois d’Ebene is both enveloping and refined, balancing darkness with a smooth, luminous elegance.

ABOUT MATIERE PREMIERE

Matière Première—French for “raw material”—is built on a simple yet radical idea: each fragrance is composed around one central natural ingredient, used in its highest possible concentration. From Paris to Grasse, Founder and Perfumer Aurélien Guichard reveals the purest expression of these raw materials, sculpting their texture, nuance, and radiance into modern, immediately readable compositions.

Excellence is at the core of the house. Ingredients are sourced from the finest ethical and organic producers around the world, and each formula is crafted to deliver exceptional sillage—an emotional signature that lingers long after the moment has passed. The meticulous ageing process, from maturation to maceration, ensures depth, clarity, and unmistakable quality.

Matière Première fragrances contain 85–92% natural ingredients, and are entirely vegan, phthalate-free, and free of colorants.

Uniquely, Aurélien Guichard is the only master perfumer to grow his own ingredients: on his family farm in Grasse, he cultivates thousands of tuberose and centifolia rose plants, illuminating creations such as Radical Rose and French Flower.

Matière Première stands at the intersection of innovation and authenticity—contemporary French perfumery devoted to the beauty of a single, extraordinary raw material.
