Brand
Les Eaux Primordiales calls itself a manufacture de parfums and means it literally: Arnaud Poulain founded the house in 2015 near Arras in northern France, and everything from the first sketch to the bottling happens on its own wooded estate. The ranges borrow their names from science, Superfluide, Supercritique, Supermassive, and several materials, amber, oud, appear in more than one weight. Samples let you compare those weights before choosing.
The first samples of this collection are being prepared.
The brand
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 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.
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.
Les Eaux Primordiales samples
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.
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.
Yes, the perfumes described in this text are 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.

Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
