Maison fondée à Grasse · MCMXXIV
à parfums — accords composés sur mesure
Twenty-four raw essences stand in amber glass on the tiered organ of the atelier, waiting to be struck like chords. Choose two for the flight, two for the heart, two for the ground — and the accord names itself.
Pl. I — La vitrine
Three finished extraits, composed at this organ and matured six weeks in amber glass. Hover a flacon to read its pyramid; each is bottled at 30 % concentration and sealed in wax.
Agrumes · Fleurs · Muscs
The orange tree entire — blossom, leaf and twig — held over a clean musk. Worn to be forgotten, missed when gone.
Extrait · 50 ml€ 280
Épices · Résines · Cuirs
Saffron and frankincense over black leather — a procession passing through a tannery. The most asked-for extrait of the house.
Extrait · 50 ml€ 460
Verts · Fleurs · Mousses
Galbanum’s cold snap over iris and moss — the north side of the garden, bottled before the sun reaches it.
Extrait · 50 ml€ 340

Pl. II — L’instrument
The organ holds twenty-four essences in three registers, as a keyboard holds its octaves. Take at most two per register — tête, cœur, fond — and watch the accord compose itself below: a name, a pyramid, and its twelve hours on the skin.
L’orgue attend.
Choisissez jusqu’à deux essences par registre — l’accord se compose ici.

Pl. III — La commande
A bespoke accord is not bought; it is sat for, the way one sits for a portrait. Three visits, six weeks, one formula — archived in the house ledger under your name.
I.
Ninety minutes at the organ with the perfumer. You smell in registers, not in perfumes — what your skin already carries, what it refuses, what it asks for.
II.
Three maquettes are struck from your accord and worn for a fortnight, in weather and in rooms. One returns to the bench for its final correction.
III.
The chosen formula rests six weeks in amber glass, turned weekly, tasted like a cellar wine — then filtered cold and bottled under your engraved name.
