Matiere Premiere Bois d'Ébène Eau de Parfum is a richly layered woody fragrance that celebrates the depth and complexity of dark woods. Centered on the texture of ebony-inspired guaiac wood, the scent is deepened with cypriol (nagarmotha) and Indonesian patchouli, creating a smoky, resinous heart. The opening of juniper berries adds a fresh, slightly spicy lift that cuts through the intensity. Cabreuva oil from Brazil accentuates the amber character, giving a slightly malty and sweet facet to the composition. This perfume feels like walking through a dense forest at dusk, where shadows, warmth, and smoky woods linger in the air.

MATIÈRE PREMIÈRE is a French niche perfume house founded by master perfumer Aurélien Guichard around 2019, anchored in the philosophy of celebrating raw materials. The name itself — “matière première” — means “raw material,” and each fragrance is built around one central natural ingredient in a heightened concentration, allowing its textures and facets to shine. Unusually among fragrance houses, Guichard even cultivates key botanicals himself (such as roses and tuberoses in Grasse), ensuring purity, control, and ethical sourcing. The brand favors clean and modern formulations, high natural content, and a minimalist aesthetic that highlights the ingredient rather than overwhelming it. With its “ingredient-first” approach, MATIÈRE PREMIÈRE offers distinctive, memorable scents that feel both deeply natural and elegantly contemporary.
