All gentle touch, skin, and restraint.  It opens on a note of tender skin. Black sesame, worked like velvet brushes the surface. Two iris concretes — French and Italian — draw a cool, almost graphic line. Then comes immortelle: sunlit, spiced, never sweet.  At the base, a dense musky aura. Refined Australian sandalwood. And amber, deep, precise, resonant. Doppel Däncer moves at the exact point where everything could tip. Between control and surrender. Between what holds back… and what spills over.

A dance of shadows beneath the skin. Doppel Däncers captures the electricity between rivals, lovers, twins. It is the scent of intimacy turned duel, of softness pushed to its edge. A perfume worn like an inner monologue—refined, unresolved, and quietly explosive in its emotional depth.

This fragrance ages over 12 to 16 weeks, followed by a 4–6 week maceration. It is also treated with Vibrage#, an ultrasonic process that refines the formula’s internal balance, smoothing interactions between woods, spices, and resins.

Warning: No batch is the same. This is an experiment—yours to explore.

Each fragrance is composed in France using ethically sourced and biodegradable materials of the highest grade. When available, the flacons are created from pure borosilicate glass, each one unique, then hand finished with surgical precision. The case is a silver origami shell, laser etched and fitted with a magnetic Zamac cap. Every detail speaks of discipline, intention and permanence.

Note from the perfumer

Claire Liégent

I sought to capture the pulse of an uncertain heart. It's a duet of opposing forces, a fragile balance, a choreography of controlled clashes where contrast and escape intertwine.

BUILT TO LAST. MEANT TO STAY.

YOU’RE NOT BUYING FROM A CORPORATION

.

Première Peau is an independent house with a singular vision. Each perfume is composed with precision and soul. Every bottle is hand-shaped from borosilicate glass — cut, polished, and engraved as a lasting object. What you receive reflects what we believe in. If anything feels wrong, we will make it right. No excess. No embellishment. Just truth.

Over 20% concentrate. We do not dilute our ideas — the formula carries weight. The alcohol content is 78.2% vol., allowing for optimal diffusion while preserving the integrity of the raw materials. No water, no fillers — just what’s needed to hold the structure.

Yes. Every batch is macerated between 6 and 10 weeks. We don’t fast-track anything. No aggressive filtration. No reckless stabilization. We let the structure build slowly, until the formula gains depth and coherence. The result: a scent that feels alive and complete from first spray.

We use both — deliberately and without ideology. Natural materials bring texture, irregularity, and depth. Synthetics bring precision, architecture, and contrast. What matters is not the origin, but the effect. We work with absolutes, concretes, resinoids, CO₂ extracts, captive molecules, and reconstitutions when necessary. Every ingredient earns its place.

Yes. We comply with IFRA standards applicable at the time of production, but we don’t make “clean” perfume. Our role is not to strip scent of its power to satisfy a checklist. Full INCI lists are available. If you have specific sensitivities, we recommend testing carefully — all formats above 45ml include a sample vial.

Color is intentional. Each formula is tinted to match its olfactory identity — not just left to chance. We use both natural extracts (like saffron or resins) and selected colorants when needed, as part of a synesthetic approach to design. Shade and scent are developed together. Slight variations may occur from batch to batch, but nothing is accidental. We don’t hide the color — we compose it.

We include a free sample vial with every bottle purchased. Try it first. If the main bottle remains sealed and untouched, you can return it within reasonable timings.
