Couleur Primaire – Eau de Parfum

Les Eaux Primordiales – a perfume manufacture in northern France, founded by Arnaud Poulain in 2015, where minimalist industrial design meets French craftsmanship.

Couleur Primaire smells clean, bright and a little nostalgic – like freshly washed laundry drying on the line. Aldehydes and pear open sparkling and almost soapy, jasmine, peony and rose settle softly at the heart, and musk and ambroxan draw a smooth, skin-close base.

Couleur Primaire works all year round and above all by day – at the office, for Sunday breakfast, anywhere a fragrance does not need to be loud. Unisex and an effortless everyday signature scent.

What we love about Couleur Primaire: Arnaud Poulain turns something completely ordinary – the smell of laundry in the wind – into a fragrance with character. Then there is the pear, a nod to the pear sorbet of childhood. Clean, but never sterile.
