Matiere Premiere Fragrances

Close your eyes and think of the Vatican, walking across a marble floor the weight of the world being lifted off your shoulders, the old wooden pews with the smell of wood, the incenses burning lifting you into heaven, an outer body experience, you truly are in heaven, an incredible ode to the churches and life from beginning to end, incredible lasting power and projection. This is a wonderful winter scent.

Spicy rose which is very similar to Portrait of a Lady by FM. Autumn weather scent for me. thank you Libertine for the generous gifts and the packaging is always topnotch❤️

Excellent scented fragrance

I bought this well over a year ago after a masterclass and I absolutely fell in love with it. I have a variety of French perfumes but it’s the one I always return to. It certainly changes its scent as the day progresses.

I have so many comments when I wear this perfume.

Because of all the lovely samples you always send I chose my latest purchase with absolute assurance as each time I wore the sample I was complimented

Thank you so much

In santal 33 direction but less heavy and cloying. Far better for humid climates and feels a more elevated experience/less linear to santal. The woods, cardamom, hints of green all come in layers to enjoy.

This is a really beautiful scent. Sometimes I get a whiff of fresh greens, other times it's fig, and then sometimes I even get a sweet, coconutty smell. It's gorgeous and so easy to wear. Highly recommend!

I recently tried Paisisn Musc fragrance which was compared to the Phylosikos by Diptique. It promised elegance and a hint of green fig, which I adore but I was disappointed by its heavy and dusty opening and short-lived scent. It disapear of my skin in a few minutes. I also didn't receive a sample with my full bottle purchase so I could not test it before opening a full bottle. Overall, I'd recommend trying before buying.

I LOVE this. It’s got a kind of musky powdery sweetness to it. Warm and sophisticated. A new fave for sure!

Ripe Fig and very much leaning feminine. A little too sweet for me, and not green enough. I appreciate its classic sophistication. It’s chic, albeit unremarkable.

Different in my collection. Looking forward to winter to be able to wear this scent❤️

smells very nice and strong,

This fragrance is magic. Absolutely adore this perfume.

Absolutely sensational, I’m in love. Lasts all day and is multi layered. A sophisticated bottle of perfume.

I took a chance and blind bought this perfume, reassured by the Libertine guarantee if I didn't like it, but still not wanting to have to go to the bother of returning it. However, as soon as I tried the sample, I knew I loved it. To me it smells like I've been enveloped in Nag Champa incense which has clung on to my body, constantly wafting the scent of beautiful incense up to my nose. Now, that may not be everyone's idea of beauty, but it is mine, so I'm very happy with it!

It's a very smooth perfume, and you can tell is of excellent quality, nothing synthetic or obnoxious going on (if you like incense). It's very long lasting on the skin too. The quick delivery and packaging was great.

Woody summer scent❤️ great to layer with B540. Longevity is atleast 6 hours on my skin then it becomes skin scent. Goergous scent!

This little bottle has a different interpretation on santal compared with other commercial scents. Its refreshing and unique. I think it's perfect for any seasons. Its a great buy.

My go to summer perfume.

I am really liking this fragrance- but something is topping me from loving it. I only received it last week (Dec, 2023. I adore sandalwood, and this fragrance has it ++ as well as tonka bean (which I love). It is a sweet fragrance, especially after the dry down... One paper, this looks like my perfect fragrance... However, I am noticing that there is a moderate sour/balsamic scent to it. It is strange because sometimes it dissipates and other times I can strongly smell it. I am not the biggest fan of balsamic scents. I initially thought it was a "zesty" scent but when I looked up the fragrance notes, apparently benzoin can sometimes cause this "spicy" scent- I think that is what I must be smelling?... I have noticed that not many people have mentioned this in reviews across multiple sites, so it must be how it interacts with my skin PH, maybe?... It is by no means bad, but something about it i find confronting? I do love it an I need to give it more wear time. have only used it three times. Interested to see how I find it as the summer progresses.. I love the other fragrance from this house that I own (French Flower- it is truly stunning). I plan on buying Encens Suave next autumn and cannot wait.

Santal Austral is a gorgeous scent, after smelling the sample I new that I have to get a full bottle immediately, super long lasting.

I recently returned from Versailles and the orange grove that King Louis planted so he could smell the blossoms as this was his favourite scent.

I understand his dedication and this perfume smelt just the same as that grove in blossom.

This is spring in a bottle, but even more lush.

Wear this and be a Goddess of Spring wherever you go.

it is Heaven on Earth. I am delighted with this Scent. Thanks to Matiere Premiere and Libertine

I love this fragrance and have been wanting to purchase this beautiful product for some time.

A special Christmas gift for myself to enjoy

When a fragrance takes me on a journey, a holiday... - I know it's going to be a winner.

Adore the elegance of Neroli Oranger, so special and simple. The perfect travel size bottle.

This is a perfect blend of lightness and softness in a perfume. Orange blossoms laced with just the right touch of radiant flowers. So fresh beautiful and uplifting this is the fragrance I wear most for myself and also gets the most compliments.

I love this fragrance so much and it gets me a lot of compliments.

Not for me. It reminds me of Burberry Goddess, sickly sweet and floral.

Doesn’t really have a powder or vanilla smell. Smells like kerosene very disappointing.

Unlike my previous purchases , I was disappointed with this one. It was very overpowering, lacking the subtlety I expected, in fact I had to wash it off because it was giving my daughter a migraine. Unfortunately I had to use some before I reaslised it was not what I would like. Can I suggest you provide a sample with the fragrance so it can be used as a tester.

I like to try new fragrances and like vanilla but unfortunately this one was not good for me.

Gorgeous Vanilla Coconut scent with great longevity. It's a beautiful cocoon of powdery cosiness. Love it
