The brand

About Les Eaux Primordiales

Four samples that map the house

Couleur Primaire is the signature: aldehydes and pear over jasmine, peony and rose, on white musks and ambroxan. Ambre Superfluide is winter by the fire, honey, apple and cinnamon over rose and cardamom, with amber, black vanilla, tobacco and rum below. Ambre Supermassive, an Extrait de Parfum, brings peach, heliotrope and saffron to amber. Vanille Supermassive sets cinnamon, fir balsam and labdanum over patchouli, vanilla and caramel.

Superfluide, Supercritique, Supermassive

Superfluide is the range of spices, resins and precious woods: Musk Superfluide is an icy white musk with aldehydes, neroli and iris, Santal Superfluide wraps plum and violet around Australian sandalwood, Oud Superfluide pairs Laos oud with bitter orange, vanilla and benzoin. Supercritique is about flowers; Rose Supercritique dresses rose in pink berries, cardamom, myrrh and incense. Supermassive holds only extraits.

Made on an estate near Arras

Jules Verne supplied the name: in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea the primordial waters are the first signs of life. Poulain designs the fragrances with Amélie Bourgeois, his mentor and technical partner. Finished compositions mature in stainless-steel vats, with classical music tuned to 432 Hz playing, before bottling. Our decants are filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us; they are not official brand samples.

Arnaud Poulain started the house in 2015 near Arras, in northern France
Designed, matured and bottled at La Manufacture, on the house's own 14-hectare estate
Ranges with science names: Superclassique, Supercritique, Superfluide, Supermassive
Supermassive perfumes are Extrait de Parfum; the others we decant are Eau de Parfum
The house name is borrowed from a Jules Verne novel

Frequently asked

Which Les Eaux Primordiales sample should I try first?

Couleur Primaire if you want the clean, laundered-linen signature of the house. For warmth take Ambre Superfluide, and Vanille Supermassive if you like spiced vanilla in extrait strength. Iris Palladium makes a sound fourth: iris, cardamom and sandalwood.

What is the difference between Superfluide and Supermassive?

Superfluide is the Eau de Parfum range built on spices, resins and precious woods. Supermassive consists only of perfume extracts. Ambre and Oud exist in both, with different pyramids: Ambre Supermassive adds peach, heliotrope and saffron. Two samples side by side settle it.

Are the perfumes of Les Eaux Primordiales unisex?

Yes, every perfume we decant from the house is listed as unisex, from the fresh Couleur Primaire and Musk Superfluide to Mécanique Intuitive with its leather, rum, tobacco and vanilla. The differences lie in weight and warmth, not in gender.
