Cépages Parfums: A Debut Collection Rooted in Nature

Cépages Parfums, a new perfume house, has made a significant impression with its debut collection. At the heart of this collection is perfumer Lauriane Guignon, a fourth-generation farmer who cultivates grapes for winemaking and Rose de Mai for the perfume industry. Her connection to nature is evident in her fragrances, which are rich and full of confidence.

Guignon's approach to perfumery is unique and reflects her background in agriculture. She calls herself an 'agriparfumeur', a perfumer driven and informed by the hands-on nurturing of her natural ingredients. This approach is evident in her fragrances, which often feature a twist on traditional perfume conventions.

One of the standout fragrances in the collection is Taniros, a tribute to the centifolia rose. This fragrance features a more vegetal underscore, which Guignon achieves by handling the rose in its natural environment. This approach gives the fragrance a sense of authenticity and connection to the natural world.

Another notable fragrance is Contre Courant, a tuberose fragrance that benefits from the same smell processing that life in the fields would offer. This fragrance features a cool marine breeze and a nutty opening, making it a unique and interesting addition to the collection.

The Cépages Parfums range is presented simply in eco-considered packaging with a tactile cork cap. This attention to detail reflects the brand's commitment to sustainability and its connection to the natural world.

## A Unique Approach to Perfumery

Guignon's approach to perfumery is distinct and personified in fragrances such as Eau Lithique and Cardamome Noire. Eau Lithique is an extrait served at 60% concentration that aims to give nose to the very lifegiving sap that powers and nurtures the grapevines themselves. This fragrance is a boldly mineral composition that buries the clean and green, wide-open-nature tone of eucalyptus under salty sea fennel.

Cardamome Noire, on the other hand, is the darkest composition on offer. This fragrance is a combination of cardamom and leather that aims to embody the "very essence of volcanic terroirs". While Grasse is not volcanic, the fragrance still manages to capture the essence of a charred leather that burns and fizzes with the intensity of cardamom.
