Bergamot · Lavender · Pink pepper01
The opening
Bergamot pressed cold. Lavender cut from the plateau above Grasse. It holds for a quarter of an hour, then gives way.
Ayse — Grasse, since 2016
Premiere.The only fragrance we make.
Lavender from the plateau. Jasmine picked at first light. One bottle, blown by hand.
The decision
One fragrance.Made completely,or not at all.
We have made the same scent since 2016. We have not been tempted to make a second.
How Premiere is built
A fragrance is read top to base. Premiere is composed so each movement hands cleanly to the next.
Bergamot · Lavender · Pink pepper
Jasmine grandiflorum02
The heart
Jasmine picked before the sun reaches the field. The note the others are built around, and the reason the harvest matters.
Sandalwood · Oak · Amber03
The base
Sandalwood, oak, a measure of amber. What remains on skin at the end of a working day.

From every angle
There is nothing on the back of the bottle.
Premiere is shown turning, in full. The shoulders are uneven because the glass is blown, not moulded. We leave that alone.

Premiere takes to settle on skin
“A scent is a decision a person carries with them all day.”
The house
Ayse works from a single room in Grasse, where French perfume has been made for four hundred years.
Lavender comes from the plateau. Jasmine comes from two fields we can walk to. The still is copper. The bench is older than the house.
The making
Each bottle is blown by hand, so no two are identical at the shoulder.
The brass cap is turned, not cast. Premiere is filled, sealed, and checked by the person who made it.
Premiere
Sold by the house,one bottle at a time.
We do not stock shelves. To carry Premiere, or to acquire a bottle, write to the house.
