3 Best Matière Première Perfumes
As the name suggests, Matiere Premiere‘s primary dedication is to precious raw materials from around the world. They are at the heart of the work of Aurélien Guichard, 7th Generation perfumer, who offers a contemporary approach towards the art of French high-end perfumes and his contribution to the perfume industry is worthy of recognition.
Aurelien Guichard is responsible for the fragrances produced by Tagasako. Matiere Premiere, or 'raw materials', is his personal perfume line which consists of eight genderless fragrances for both women and men. The foundation of each fragrance are notes squeezed out of the nature. The main characters of sensual perfumes are: coffee, vanilla, labdanum, ambrettolide or orange blossom, entangled in enigmatic, lascivious variations.
