Crystal Saffron - Extrait de Parfum

Crystal Saffron Extrait deepens the luminous signature of the original Eau de Parfum, revealing a richer and more textured interpretation of saffron. Built around exceptional saffron oil from Kozani, Greece, the composition preserves the crystalline brightness of the original while expanding it into something warmer, smoother, and more enveloping.

For this Extrait de Parfum, perfumer Aurélien Guichard introduces myrrh oil from Somalia as a guest ingredient. Its resinous amber facets melt seamlessly into the radiance of the saffron, amplifying both depth and diffusion without obscuring the fragrance’s luminous clarity. Habanolide musk and ambroxan create a soft addictive aura, while Somali incense oil sharpens the composition with a subtle mineral glow. More concentrated and sensual, Crystal Saffron Extrait feels both powerful and weightless.

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.
