The Tubereuse Grasse Candle by MATIERE PREMIERE aims to capture the intoxicating aroma of tuberose fields in Grasse as dusk settles. It evokes the moment when the heat of the day softens and the air becomes saturated with the flower's most sensual and luminous trail. This candle diffuses a warm, hypnotic radiance, offering a floral and sun-soaked yet irresistibly smooth scent. It's a tribute to the rare organic Grasse tuberose, cultivated and processed directly by the house, revealing its purest expression. Perfumer: Aurélien Guichard

About MATIERE PREMIERE
Matière Première is a luxury fragrance brand founded by Aurélien Guichard, a perfumer who uniquely grows his own fragrance ingredients including Rose Centifolia, Tuberose, and Lavandin in the Grasse region of France. The brand's philosophy centers on revealing the raw beauty of natural materials by building each fragrance around one central natural ingredient used in high concentration (85-92% natural ingredients), creating bold, linear, and immediately identifiable signatures with lasting sillage.
Aurélien Guichard, born in Grasse, France, is a seventh-generation perfumer from a family of flower growers and perfumers, including his father who was also a perfumer. He trained at the Givaudan school and built a distinguished 20+ year career creating blockbuster fragrances like Gucci Guilty and Tom Ford’s Soleil de Positano, while working for companies such as Givaudan and Takasago. In 2016, he established an organic Rose Centifolia farm in Grasse, founding Matière Première in 2019 to champion farm-to-fragrance luxury perfumery using his own cultivated ingredients.
