Vanilla Powder - Eau de Parfum

Vanilla Powder explores the contrast between dark, textured vanilla and the luminous dryness of Palo Santo wood. Built around Vanilla Absolute from Madagascar, sourced through the Fair for Life agricultural program, the fragrance reveals vanilla in a richer and more contemporary form—less sugary, more creamy, woody, and enveloping.

Palo Santo Oil from Ecuador introduces a smooth mineral clarity that gives the composition structure and lift, balancing the depth of the vanilla with an airy elegance. Coconut powder softens the fragrance with a velvety addictive warmth, while white musks wrap the entire composition in a radiant, skin-like softness. Sensual yet transparent, Vanilla Powder transforms gourmand notes into something modern and refined.

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.
