French Flower
feminine
Created by Aurélien Guichard
French Flower by Matiere Premiere is a Floral fragrance for women and men. French Flower was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Aurélien Guichard. Top notes are Pear and Nigerian Ginger; middle notes are Tuberose, Orange Blossom and Chinese Tea; base note is Ambroxan. French Flower is "the intoxicating smell of a tuberose field at night". The fragrance's main notes include absolute and enfleurage of French tuberose, extracted from tuberoses organically grown by Matiere Premiere. The task was to create a bouquet of tuberose with absolute and enfleurage of the flower's petals. Nigeria ginger amplifies the whiteness of the flower. Chinese tea leaf essence and a green pear underline the vegetal character of this stemmed flower. Available as a 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

The r/fragrance community acknowledges Matière Première's quality craftsmanship and impressive performance, with standouts like Encens Suave and Vanilla Powder earning praise for their creamy, smooth profiles. However, the consensus is tempered by complaints about excessive pricing and some fragrances featuring screechy wooden notes that prove problematic for certain noses, making sampling before purchase highly recommended.
