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.
