A REMARKABLE JOURNEY

Aurélien Guichard — The Material at the Heart

Aurélien Guichard places a material at the center of a fragrance and builds a considered composition around it. His work for Matière Première offers a particularly clear expression of that approach, where the identity of the chosen subject gives the perfume its starting point.

Creation and Cultivation

Raised in the Grasse region, Guichard comes from a family connected with fragrant flowers and perfume. Matière Première describes his cultivation of rose, tuberose and lavandin, linking the creative process with a direct relationship to certain natural materials.

Distinct Material Portraits

Radical Rose, Santal Austral and Encens Suave provide three different paths into his world. Each takes a recognizable material direction and gives it structure and atmosphere. The contrast makes these compositions a useful introduction to his artistry within the RichandLuxe selection.
