(COLLECTING SIGNATURES)
At Première peau, we collect unique signatures, from inspiring perfumers.
We are lucky.
Lucky to work with people whose hands, hearts, and ethics shape everything they do.Perfume, for us, has never been about a market or a trend : it’s about meeting human beings who carry within them a fire, a gentleness, a point of view. Every perfumer we work with is an author, sometime a friend. Not a name on a formula, but a person who dares to translate what moves them most deeply into something invisible yet unforgettable. They bring their patience, their doubts, their obsessions. They bring their artistry. And for us, to be close to that process, to witness it, is a privilege.
Creation is not a strategy. It is a fragile act of faith. It is the moment when someone offers a piece of themselves, and we have the responsibility to hold it, to protect it, and to share it with respect.This is why we do what we do. Not to fill endless shelves. Not to feed noise. But because we love creation, and because we believe in the people who make it possible. We are proud : not of “result,” but of the friendships, the trust, the shared moments of wonder that live behind every fragrance.
Moments of passion.
Sometimes it’s just a day in the studio together. Someone brings coffee, someone else laughs too loud. The perfume sits there, quietly, and we try to find the right way to show it. Not polished, not posed : just the people around it, their ideas, their warmth. We work with photographers, writers, artists, friends… people young and old who bring their eyes, their hands, their presence. Nothing forced.
Just gestures, light, and time spent together. At the end, what remains isn’t only the images, but the feeling that something was shared. A small fragment of life, and our passion, that we are proud and happy to offer to you with the perfume.
Paris, but new.
We are based between Paris and Deauville. But don’t expect Eiffel Tower postcards or Haussmann façades turned into perfume labels : that’s not our story. Paris is not just romance in sepia tones. It’s noise, diversity, underground studios, artists from every corner of the world colliding in one city. That’s the Paris we live in, and that’s the Paris that breathes through our work.
Our creation are bottles in the Oise, just outside the capital. Our studio is by the sea in Normandy. Our operations flow through Paris : not as a postcard, but as a crossroads. We collaborate with people from different countries, different disciplines, different lives. We're Parisian at heart, but never locked inside it. It reflects a world, not a heritage.
Working with artisans.
Our bottle isn’t a design object. It’s fire, glass, and hands. At the factory, we work with people who know their craft better than words can explain. There’s an old lady we adore who still handles a torch like no one else : steady, precise, smiling as if the flame itself were a friend. Around her, younger artisans learn, fail, laugh, and try again.
Every curve of glass, every imperfection corrected, carries their breath and their patience. It is fragile work. One mistake and the piece collapses but it’s also joyful (but still, a bit stressful!). At the end of a long day, when the furnace quiets and the bottles cool, what remains isn’t just an object: it’s proof that human hands can still make something timeless.
