The concentration is 20% in alcohol at 78% vol. We add no water and no fillers. What hits your skin is the formula and nothing else.
ALBÂTRE SÉPIA
Alba White Truffle • India Ink • Vicuña
Florian Gallo carves the Alba truffle raw, geological, ground from cold soil before dawn. Beside it he lodges India ink: ferric, metallic, the cool sting of fresh ink. Brazilian pink pepper fractures the air. Somali frankincense bites a single edge down the middle. Madagascar vanilla, resinous, weighs against the truffle without ever turning it to sugar.
The vicuna accord presses in last, the way a palm presses flat on cold stone. Six hours later, on the wrist, truffle and ink stay carved against each other. Nothing fills the fracture. The stone holds its split.

What sets us apart
Each formula carries 20% pure perfume concentrate in alcohol at 78% vol • no water, no fillers, no dilution.
Most of the market runs between 5 and 15%. We compose at extrait strength or not at all.
The concentration works on skin: the scent evolves rather than fades, projects without shouting, and stays.
Each flacon is blown by mouth from laboratory-grade borosilicate glass, one at a time.
Slight variations in weight, wall thickness and curvature distinguish each bottle. The hand leaves its trace and we keep it.
A concealed magnetic cap in recycled zamak closes the bottle. The atomizer is calibrated for extrait.
Every composition macerates for six to ten weeks at minimum. Some formulas take six months.
We refuse aggressive filtration. Structure builds slowly, and a hard filter would strip out what the weeks put in.
Patience is the only step we never shorten.
We blend naturals and synthetics, deliberately. Absolutes, concretes, resinoids and CO2 extracts share the formula with molecules chosen for precision and contrast.
The quarrel between natural and synthetic answers nothing. A material proves itself on skin, not on a label.
Every ingredient earns its place.
Each Première Peau fragrance is composed, produced and bottled in France.
We claim no storied village and borrow no one's heritage. The work happens here and the label states it plainly.
One country holds the whole chain, and this house vouches for every link of it.
Every full-size order ships with a free sample vial. Test the vial on skin and keep the bottle sealed until you are sure.
If the fragrance is wrong for you, return the sealed bottle within 30 days.
A Discovery Set exists for those who would rather compare the collection before choosing a bottle.
Frequently asked questions
The juice, the glass, the transit. Every answer is a fact.
Every formula macerates six to ten weeks at minimum. Some need six months, so they get six months. We skip aggressive filtration and reckless stabilisation: the juice keeps its body.
Both, by choice. Absolutes, concretes, resinoids, CO2 extracts and reconstitutions work side by side in the same formula. We choose each material for its effect on skin, not for the origin on its label.
Every formula is IFRA-compliant at time of production. This is not "clean" perfume and does not claim to be. Full INCI lists are available for every fragrance. If your skin is sensitive, patch test before wearing.
We tint each composition to match its identity. The color builds from natural extracts, saffron and resins among them, plus selected colorants. Batches vary slightly, and we let them.
Eligible orders include a free sample vial alongside the sealed bottle. Wear the vial first. If the fragrance is not yours, the untouched bottle, still sealed, returns within 30 days.
The design caps the flacon diameter at 75 to 80mm, and mouth-blown glass varies from piece to piece, volume included. We announce the minimum you will receive, 45 or 90ml, rather than promise 55 or 100.
We ship worldwide from France and the Netherlands. France: free standard delivery in 2 to 3 days, express next-day at €8.90. European Union: free standard delivery in 7 to 14 days, with tracked and express options.
United States, Canada, Japan and Asia-Pacific: standard from €19.90, express from €29.90, complimentary express on qualifying orders. Rates for the United Kingdom, the Gulf and the rest of the world vary by destination. The exact cost shows at checkout before you pay.
Perfume is a sealed hygiene product: an unsealed bottle stays sold. This is why every full-size order ships with a free sample vial. Test the vial on skin before you break the seal. Send back a sealed bottle in its original packaging within 30 days for a full refund. To try several at once, take the Discovery Set.
Orders within the European Union include VAT: nothing more to pay on delivery. Outside the EU, your customs authority may charge import duties or taxes on arrival; each country sets its own. Write to us before ordering and we will help you estimate them.
Borosilicate glass takes impact and temperature swings far better than standard glass. Each parcel carries custom inserts and travels double-boxed. If a bottle arrives damaged all the same, send photos within 48 hours and we replace or refund it.
Your order dispatches within 2 to 3 business days. The confirmation email carries your tracking number the moment the parcel leaves. For anything else, email contact@premierepeau.com or call +33 1 88 24 41 62, Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 18:00 CET.
