MAISON DE HAUTE PARFUMERIE — EST. MMXVI

SCROLL
01 — MANIFESTO

We do not blend perfume. We forge it — against an age of the cheap, the constant, the disposable — cast to be kept, to be worn, to be handed down.

MOST OF WHAT THE WORLD MAKES NOW IS MADE TO BE REPLACED. FORGE-WORK WAS BUILT FOR SEVERAL LIFETIMES AND PASSED FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT — SO IS EVERYTHING POURED HERE.

AMBIENT CASTINGS FOR GREAT ROOMS. PERSONAL EXTRAITS FOR THE SKIN. LIVING-FLAME CANDLES FOR THE HOURS BETWEEN. EVERY FORM, ONE FOUNDRY.

The casting floor of the old works — ladle №8 holding its last heat
MMXVI — THE ORIGIN

THE MAISON WAS BORN ON A CASTING FLOOR — BESIDE LADLE №8, LAST OF ITS LINE. THE NUMBER STAYED; SO DID THE DISCIPLINE.

The fire, kept.

ONE FIRE, THREE HOURS — FLAME, COAL, ASH.
STRIKE A CRUCIBLE TO LIGHT IT.

WAX POURED INTO HAND-THROWN CERAMIC CRUCIBLES, SPOUT AND ALL. WHEN THE WAX IS GONE, THE VESSEL REMAINS. THE REFILL RITE — RETURN YOUR CRUCIBLE AND MILANO POURS IT ANEW FOR €48. THE VESSEL OUTLIVES EVERY FIRE.

TRIO IN AN OAK CRATE — THE FULL LIFE OF A FIRE
06 — THE CRAFT

The Foundry.

FOUR MOVEMENTS STAND BETWEEN RAW ELEMENT AND SEALED FLACON. NONE OF THEM CAN BE HURRIED; TWO OF THEM CANNOT BE WATCHED. WHAT LEAVES THE FOUNDRY IS BUILT LIKE THE FOUNDRY'S OWN TOOLS — FOR LIFETIMES, NOT SEASONS.

THE FULL STORY — THE MAISON→
  1. 01

    EXTRACTION

    SINGLE-ORIGIN MATERIALS — FLORENTINE IRIS, HAITIAN VETIVER, LAOTIAN OUD — SELECTED AS ORE, NOT INGREDIENT. WHAT DOES NOT SURVIVE THE ASSAY DOES NOT ENTER THE CRUCIBLE.

  2. 02

    FUSION

    IN THE CRUCIBLE, ACCORDS ARE FORGED AT IMPROBABLE RATIOS UNTIL METAL MEETS FLOWER. EIGHT HUNDRED TRIALS A YEAR; EIGHT SURVIVE.

  3. 03

    MATURATION

    THE BLEND RESTS IN BLACKENED STEEL VATS FOR ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT DAYS. TIME IS THE ONLY ACCELERANT WE PERMIT.

  4. 04

    CASTING

    EACH FLACON IS FILLED, SEALED AND NUMBERED BY HAND IN MILANO. NO EDITION EXCEEDS EIGHT HUNDRED. WHEN A CASTING IS GONE, THE MOULD IS BROKEN.

07 — THE FOUNDING CIRCLE

EIGHT HUNDRED FLACONS PER CASTING. MEMBERS OF THE CIRCLE RECEIVE FIRST ACCESS AND ATELIER CORRESPONDENCE — NOTHING ELSE. NO NOISE. THAT IS A PROMISE.
