L'Âme du Bois™
A Woody Note Befitting Our Times
A New Olfactive Expression for Wood
We have worked hard, and continue to do so in order to create an inspiring palette for our Perfumers that is both qualitative and broad. This is thanks in great part to our raw materials Purchasers who comb the globe, constantly on the lookout for the best and rarest ingredients. Sometimes, however, the perfect ingredient that will deliver precise benefits to a fragrance, simply does not exist. We felt that no existing woody notes corresponded to the ‘unisex’ woody consumer aspirations were on the market. So, we decided to take matters into our own hands.

A Meaningful Ingredient for Our Palette and Planet
L’Âme du Bois™, the Soul of Wood
The new ingredient we produced is neither and oil, nor an aroma chemical, it is much more than that. It is a performance enabler, refined to enhance the beauty and spirit of wood. The word “soul” in French translates into “âme,” so we decided to name our first captive: “L’Âme du Bois™”, the soul of wood. At this time, L’Âme du Bois™ is intended for use exclusively in the design of prestige fragrances and for all premium product categories, be it fine fragrance, home or personal care. When smelled in fragrance creations, L’Âme du Bois™ delivers volume and diffusiveness to a range of powerful yet complex notes of rare elegance.
