“Matière première” means “raw material” in French. It is the starting point of the brand’s creative process. Fragrances by MATIERE PREMIERE are just like their central raw material: they have no gender, they combine great power and diffusion with a sense of comfort, they allow you to comprehend what you are wearing, and smelling them will bring unique emotions. -Aurelien Guichard from my recent interview -Michelyn

 I asked Aurelien about the new line of MATIERE PREMIERE Extraits. He said, “The extraits share one common creative approach for all: a higher concentration, a higher dosage of the central main ingredient, Resin Incense Somalia and the addition of a guest ingredient to bring a new facet to the note. The guest ingredient of MATIERE PREMIERE Encens Suave Extrait is Amber. I love the ambery, gold and brown hues of an incense rock. With this amber note made of resins, a classic in French Perfumery, I wanted to amplify the impression of warm richness in Encens Suave.”-Aurelien Guichard

    I was aware of the new line coming and knowing how strong the originals are, I can only imagine that this one will be a beast. Encens Suave is a very incense/resinous fragrance with very high quality and raw materials. Yes, all the fragrances are definitely unisex and revolve around a main ingredient material for each one. I’m also learning that not only is the dosage getting increased for these new fragrances but also a new guest ingredient is getting introduced to each one of the extraits. Steven is right if you got 8 hours (which I have smelled the original, it’s more like 10 to me), you’ll probably get 12-14 hours on this new creation. Thanks a lot to Twisted Lilly for hosting this giveaway as these fragrances are a gem! I’m located in the USA.

    Steven always does such a great job of describing fragrances. The incense notes with then amped up amber sound just amazing. I love Matiere Premiere perfumes and how they focus on a raw ingredient and make it absolutely stunning. Thanks for the giveaway. Located in Utah.

    Aurélien Guichard’s approach to perfumery is truly fascinating. His dedication to raw materials and simplicity, as emphasized in his Matière Première collection, sets him apart in the fragrance world. I love how he describes the use of a single central ingredient, saying, “Fragrances by MATIERE PREMIERE are just like their central raw material: they have no gender, they combine great power and diffusion with a sense of comfort.” His deep connection to nature and the organic farming of his own ingredients, like roses and tuberoses, gives his work a remarkable authenticity. This level of dedication to quality really resonates, especially when he speaks about his creative journey, influenced by his artistic upbringing and desire to collaborate with diverse creatives.

    As for Steven’s review, I found it insightful and engaging. He really captured the essence of Encens Suave Extrait, highlighting how the rich amber adds depth to the incense, amplifying its warmth. I enjoyed his breakdown of how the extrait format elevates the experience. Both Aurélien’s creative process and Steven’s review show how much passion goes into every bottle.

    I love the original, when you apply it it’s like it’s burning, like fire, I feel like it’s the fragrance of the Human Torch from the fantastic four, I feel full of energy when I wear it but it’s also very comforting, what can I say it’s my favorite from the brand and my favorite incense fragrance of all time, nothing comes close, so you can understand my excitement for this one and the dark bottles woow! Thanks for the giveaway guys!!! My address is in the USA.

  • Steve A says:

    From the written opening I learned of this guest ingredient concept. From the video I learned about the incense notes involved and I haven’t had a new incensed-based frag in a while. I like those notes a lot. US

  • Rachelng says:

    Love the original fragrance and can’t wait for the extrait! Twisted Lily is Fab for doing such a wonderful give away! Wonderful work by Michelyn and Steven! ❤️ I’d be a very happy winner!

  • SpadeDR says:

    I was unfamiliar with some of the ingredients Steven mentioned but it sounds like a beautiful addition for the fall season. I am not a fan of sharper fragrances, so it is enlightening to hear this is on the smoother side. Incense is beautiful when done right and it is great to hear how this built upon the original.

    Still attempting to overcome my negative connotation with the word intense and catholic school. It was always used in occasions where they’d ask students to read a passage

  • scenternet says:

    Aurélien Guichard’s focus on enhancing the core material in MATIERE PREMIERE Encens Suave Extrait, especially with the addition of amber, brilliantly conveys the warmth and richness of incense. I appreciate how Steven highlights this ambery depth, complementing Guichard’s emphasis on French perfumery traditions. His creative process of elevating familiar notes through higher concentrations truly captures an intoxicating, yet comfortable balance. Michelyn’s interview showcases the intimate connection Guichard has with raw materials, amplifying their essence without overwhelming the senses. OBSESSED!

    As always, Steven’s reviews are a pleasure to watch and full of interesting information. I am not familiar with this one but now I’m tempted. Thanks for the giveaway. US

  • ThatMulattoDude says:

    For Steven, who is a next-level incense aficionado, to say this is one of the best incense fragrances on the market, that definitely creates impact. Reading about Monsieur Aurelien’s creative process, I’m intrigued by the cohesiveness with which he crafts his extraits. Obviously, the performance and sillage enhancement is nothing to discount either. I’d really enjoy having this in my collection. I fancy dark, complex scents. Appreciate the giveaway opportunity. Many blessings from Virginia, USA!

  • MarcoAmaya says:

    Great article…and great review of Steven. THE BRAND has a really great compositions. Looks like they are doing amazing things to the perfume community.

  • INYA says:

    Steven mentioned “no rough edges,” which I like. I do like Encens Suave and would love to experience the extrait version. As a gardener, I do enjoy roses. I like this quote from Michelyn’s interview: “I decided to plant Rose Centifolia on our family domain in the Grasse region.” Thanks for another awesome article and draw. MI USA
