Description
Cèdre Superfluide opens with a vibrant and slightly peppery burst of red berries and aromatic thyme, immediately setting a sophisticated tone. As it develops, a rich heart of velvety plum, delicate rose, and the unique, hay-like warmth of immortelle emerges, adding a complex floral sweetness. The fragrance then settles into a deep, comforting base where Australian sandalwood provides a creamy woodiness, beautifully complemented by the warm spice of saffron, the sweet embrace of vanilla, and the subtle, diffusive quality of ambroxan. This creates a balanced and elegant woody-oriental scent that feels both grounded and ethereal. Perfumer: Arnaud Poulain

Les Eaux Primordiales is a French niche fragrance house founded in 2015 by artist-engineer Arnaud Poulain in Hauts-de-France, blending mechanical precision, artisanal craftsmanship, and perfumery innovation in collaboration with perfumer Amélie Bourgeois. Inspired by Jules Verne's 'primordial waters' symbolizing life's origins, the brand produces fragrances in-house at a historic castle estate, emphasizing authenticity, texture, and emotion through vertically integrated processes from maceration to hand-finished bottling. Its signature style merges classic perfumery codes with cutting-edge technology, creating individual, elemental scents like clean linen and aldehydic musks in the Superclassique collection that evoke raw sincerity and transcendence.
