Vanilla Powder - Extrait de Parfum

Vanilla Powder Extrait reimagines vanilla through a richer and more textured lens, balancing deep gourmand warmth with an airy cloud of modern white powders. At the heart of the composition lies Madagascar Vanilla Absolute, sourced through the Fair for Life agricultural program, revealing a dark and creamy vanilla softened by luminous musks and velvety woods.

For this Extrait de Parfum, Founder and Perfumer Aurélien Guichard enriches the original composition with Tonka Bean Absolute from Venezuela as a guest ingredient. Its smooth warmth deepens the gourmand facets of the fragrance, adding a more sensual and enveloping dimension to the vanilla. Palo Santo and coconut powder bring structure and softness, while Helvetolide musk creates a radiant skin-like trail that lingers with remarkable 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.
