Metal Lavender - Eau de Parfum

Metal Lavender reimagines lavender through contrast, transforming a familiar note into something strikingly modern and unexpectedly magnetic. Created by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, the composition pairs two distinct expressions of lavender: a vibrant lavandin from MATIERE PREMIERE’s own Ecocert-certified fields in Grasse, revealing cool metallic facets, alongside an organic lavender from Haute Provence with a softer, floral sweetness.

Amplified by musks and Cashmeran, the composition expands into a luminous, enveloping trail that feels both clean and textured. Familiar yet unconventional, Metal Lavender presents lavender through a sharper, more contemporary lens.

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.
