Encens Oman - Candle

In the vast stillness of Oman’s desert, where heat shimmers above stone and sand, frankincense begins its slow metamorphosis—drops of resin hardening under the sun, releasing an aroma that feels ancient, alive, and almost ceremonial.

Encens Oman channels this raw, elemental power. Perfumer Aurélien Guichard distills the essence of Omani incense into a candle that speaks in resinous, smoky, mineral tones. It is not a perfume in disguise, but an ode to the unadorned material itself—dense, luminous, and textured with the quiet mystery of ritual.

As it burns, the candle unveils a deep, meditative presence: wood, smoke, stone, heat. A scent that settles into the room like a sacred breath, inviting stillness, reflection, and a sense of the eternal.

Pure incense. Pure landscape. Pure intensity.

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 an 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, which illuminate 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.
