The story
Atelier Materi was founded in 2019 by Véronique Le Bihan. A native of Brittany, she brings together her passions for fragrance, architecture and design through a clear idea: every perfume begins with one natural raw material, whose facets are revealed through contrast.
The Maison describes its work as a contemporary, deliberately slower form of luxury. Raw materials, flacons and caps are developed with perfumers, artists and craftspeople. Brittany’s world of sea, stone and hand-shaped objects becomes a recurring point of reference.
01 · The founder

Véronique Le Bihan thinks in materials

Véronique Le Bihan founded Atelier Materi after more than a decade in the cosmetics and fragrance industry. Her interests in fragrance, architecture and design meet in a practice that starts with the material rather than the trend. The founder and artistic director describes her perfumes as emotional, precise compositions in which the people and hands behind the material remain visible.
02 · Brittany

A landscape of sea and stone

The name Atelier Materi refers to the Breton word for matter. The Maison describes Brittany as both origin and symbol of its aesthetic: raw coasts, mineral cliffs and the marks of time. This world appears in the midnight-blue flacon and the handmade concrete cap, whose organic form recalls a stone polished by waves.

03 · The olfactory idea

One material, many facets

Whether tonka bean, narcissus or cedar, Atelier Materi places one natural raw material at the centre of each fragrance. Perfumers pair it with deliberate contrasts so its green, dark, luminous or sensual sides can emerge. Narcisse Taiji demonstrates the method through narcissus, while Tonka Kumaru explores the bean’s warm, almond-like depth.

04 · Object and craft

From raw material to object

The material idea does not stop at the liquid. Atelier Materi works with artists and craftspeople on the flacon, cap and packaging. Its concrete caps are hand-cast and finished in Paris, while the flacons are made in Germany. This carefully described, short production chain connects the fragrance composition to a tangible object.

What the community says about Atelier Materi

10/10
A wonderful opening of blackcurrant bud and bergamot lends the fragrance a fine, understated fruitiness that does not seem sparkling, but rather unfolds thoughtfully and softly like a silk scarf. This is joined by a very pleasant floral nuance that does not appear powdery at all. In combination with the extremely finely integrated oud, which is anything but barnyard-like, and the leather, a harmonious blend of fruit, floral elegance, and noble oud warmth is created.

Ambre Papier was for me one of those rare fragrances that didn't immediately convince me with beauty, but rather with character. During the first test, I was primarily fascinated by how modern, dry, and structured it feels. To me, it has nothing of the heavy, oriental amber sweetness that I often find difficult. Instead, it feels clean, mineral, spicy, and almost a bit intellectual. It develops over hours and remains exciting without ever becoming loud. The more often I wear it, the more I discover new facets. Sometimes it feels dry and elegant, sometimes almost paper-like, then again warm and surprisingly deep. Precisely this development makes it so special to me. Ambre Papier is not a fragrance that wants to please everyone. It is a fragrance for people who appreciate character, structure, and a unique signature.

This is one of the most beautiful fig compositions I have ever experienced. The fragrance starts with fresh green notes and fig leaves and then develops into an aroma of ripe fig fruits. Although the longevity of this perfume is not particularly high, I will definitely buy a bottle, because this beauty can be reapplied at any time.
