Metal Lavender

Polished steel against living skin.

Metal Lavender is Aurélien Guichard's radical rewrite of one of perfumery's most classic materials. Built around organic Lavender Oil from Provence and amplified by cold metallic facets, it trades barbershop nostalgia for something sharp, tactile, and unmistakably contemporary — metallic freshness, violet light, tension on skin.

Top — Crystalline & electric.
The opening is an intensely vivid burst of Provence lavender: aromatic, cool, almost sterile in its clarity. Metallic notes cut straight through it, like brushed chrome catching cold light.

Heart — Texture beneath the chill.
Black Pepper introduces a fruity-spicy warmth, with subtle herbal tonalities softening the metallic edge. The core stays clean and radiant while turning smoother and more skin-like.

Base — Warm, resinous, intimate.
Musks and Benzoin settle underneath the lingering metallic glow, creating a soft resinous warmth. The contrast between cold aromatic steel and warm skin becomes the signature of the scent.

Wear it when you want presence without sweetness — office to evening, warm months especially, on anyone drawn to modern aromatics.
