Vanille Carbone

• Everyday
• Evening
• Festive

Vanille Carbone draws on an almost burnt vanilla, transformed, with the idea of contrast between softness and darkness. This is a crafted material, rawer, with relief.

The perfume opens on a vanilla that is already deep, lightly smoky, giving a warm feel that is not gourmand in the classic sense. Then the vanilla unfolds with a drier, woodier facet, almost mineral, as if it had been through fire.

Over time, the fragrance becomes more cocooning while keeping its dark, textured side. The woods and smoky nuances reinforce this impression of controlled warmth, with an elegant, slightly mysterious sillage.

Atelier Materi is a French perfume house founded in 2019 by Véronique Le Bihan, who comes from Brittany. These roots show in the brand’s identity, shaped by raw, mineral landscapes and by an approach to perfume centred on raw materials. Each fragrance is built around one main ingredient, worked to bring out its different facets rather than diluted in a complex structure. The compositions remain legible, with a limited number of materials arranged to support this central axis. The house’s world also draws on references to architecture, seeking clean lines, structure and balance. This carries through to the design of the objects, notably a blue-tinted glass bottle and a hand-shaped concrete cap, both the result of craft work. Finally, Atelier Materi favours closely supervised production, relying on known partners and artisanal know-how, with manufacturing mostly carried out in Europe.
