Atelier Materi
Haute perfumery straight from France – Atelier Materi focuses entirely on the beauty of a single raw material.
Atelier Materi: Perfumes with a Breton Soul
Rugged cliffs and the sound of the sea: the raw nature of Brittany runs through the veins of perfumer, designer, and architect Véronique Le Bihan. Having grown up there, she carried memories of rolling landscapes with her until they became tangible again as the inspiration behind her fragrance house, Atelier Materi. With her multidisciplinary background, Le Bihan brought all her skills into the niche perfume brand, creating a holistic concept – from scent composition to bottle design.
At the heart of every Atelier Materi creation lies the expressive power of a single ingredient. From vanilla to oregano, the main note is placed at the center before being carefully surrounded by complementary accords. In this way, Le Bihan and her perfumer partners develop complex layers that reveal the protagonist ingredient in ever-evolving facets. The fragrances stand as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship, achievable only by the finest noses in the industry.
The bottles reflect Le Bihan’s architectural sensibility: deep blue glass with a clean, structured aesthetic reminiscent of seawater after a storm. The Eau de Parfums are finished with concrete caps, while the Extrait de Parfums feature gold-plated closures – crafted in France and Germany.
Slow Luxury: Fragrances by Atelier Materi
Atelier Materi embodies a new form of luxury: perfection shaped by time. The brand consciously moves away from fast-produced mass goods, dedicating its energy to an organic creation process. This attention to detail, to craftsmanship, and to the fragrance itself is evident in every composition – especially in these bestsellers:
- Cacao Porcelana: an exceptionally refined gourmand featuring white cocoa, rum, Indian jasmine, light tobacco, sandalwood, and tonka bean.
- Cèdre Figalia: a green ode to nature with a milky fig accord, complemented by bergamot, basil, spinach, mate, and cedarwood.
- Burgundy Oud: a modern oud composition with dark facets of blackcurrant bud absolute, magnolia essence, amyris, and leather.
