Matiere Premiere

MATIERE PREMIERE/ FABIEN SARAZIN

“Gifting fragrance creates a special moment for us to eternally imprint the scent of someone we love in our memory,” says Aurélien Guichard, Co-Founder and Master Perfumer of the award-winning luxury fragrance house Matiere Premiere. He kept his family’s perfumery techniques alive by replanting the family’s fields of Domaine de Chautard in 2016 (which had been dormant since the 1980s) with 12,000 Rose Centifolia plant

It’s always been Guichard’s passion to keep the legacy and history alive while also being a steward of the environment, particularly with the region’s fertile soil. In 2019, he launched his perfume house with a focus on central raw material and quality, and a high concentration of Absolute (which is the aforementioned Rose Centifolia plant). Aurélien is the only perfumer in the world to own, plant, grow, harvest and use his own ingredients in his own brand’s fragrances. With that in mind, give the gift of passion, history and aroma with the brand’s Eau De Parfum Discovery Set ($180) which includes six 0.2 fl. oz. bestsellers such as Parisian Mus and Radical Rose. The brand ships to the the USA from their website, and it’s also available to buy from Saks.

Olfactory NYC

OLFACTORY NYC

This brand offers bespoke perfumes, all based on your mood and preferences. Based in Nolita, NYC, their Scent Studio uses high-quality ingredients sourced from the world’s top perfumers. From there, they bottle and blend in-house through the guidance of their scent mixologists. The whole experience is about tapping into your playfulness and creativity—ultimately creating something tailored just for you and/or loved one.

If you cannot make it in-store, their fun at-home customization experience ($85) allows the recipient to tinker and create their own unique set of scents. They first get an ”explorer box”—samples of Olfactory NYC’s core fragrances. Then with a supplied gift card, they order a ”tinkerer box” —a series of custom blended samples of their favorite core scent to layer. Lastly, the recipient can order a full-size version of their personalized scent (using the remainder of their gift card balance and a discount code included in the box). Otherwise, if you know your sweetie just wants to wear the fragrance and let the company do all the legwork, they offer a roster of pre-made Fragrance Sampler sets which include their aforementioned Explorer Box that you can buy separately ($25, nine scents and 3ml each); and Scent Family Sample Box ($35, allows you to recreate your favorite scent that’s been discontinued elsewhere).
