AURÉLIA
« L’orfèvrerie du parfum »
Perfume composed the way jewellers compose light — hand-cut crystal flacons gilded in twenty-four-karat gold, filled with extraits of impossible rarity, and sealed inside a coffret built for a single, unforgettable act of revelation.
LA COLLECTION
The Four Thrones of Scent
Each flacon is numbered by hand, crowned in gold, and produced in editions that will never be repeated. When the year’s edition is gone, it is gone forever.

LE RITUEL
The Theatre of the Unboxing
We believe a perfume box should be a theatre: the coffret is a stage, the seal is a curtain — and the flacon, the star. Break the wax yourself, below.
- I
THE LACQUERED COFFRET
Seven coats of black lacquer, polished by hand between each. The interior is leafed in twenty-four-karat gold.
- II
THE GILDED SEAL
A wax seal struck with the house monogram. Breaking it is a small ceremony — we suggest you take your time.
- III
THE REVEAL
Light floods the velvet throne. The flacon rises. These are the moments we spend a fortune perfecting.
The coffret is sealed. Its secret is yours to claim.
MATIÈRES NOBLES
Rarer than Gold
Long before a flacon is crowned, its soul is bargained for. Our master perfumer travels with scales and cash in the old manner — to Atlantic shores where ambergris washes up after fourteen years at sea, to Assam gardens where oud is traded by the tola, to Kazanlak at four in the morning, while the rose is still cold.
Nothing is bought on contract. Nothing is diluted to meet a price. If the year’s harvest fails our nose, the edition is simply smaller — and the number on your certificate climbs a little higher.
-
Washed ashore by Atlantic storms, cured by sun and salt for fourteen years, then tinctured for eighteen months. It lends Noir Impérial its unmistakable trailing warmth — the scent of wealth remembered.
-
Traded by the tola in the old bazaars, resin-smoked and dark as treacle. Among perfumery’s most prized raw materials — and the smoking heart of our house.
-
Thirty blossoms make a single drop of absolute. Picked before sunrise while the petals are still cold and distilled the same morning — the soul of Rose Écarlate.
-
One hundred and fifty flowers for a gram of threads, each separated by hand at harvest. A bitter golden thread that runs through Ambre Sultane from first breath to last.
“Aurélia does not sell perfume. It sells the ten seconds after the box opens — and those ten seconds are worth a fortune.”
— REVERIE · The Connoisseur’s Journal
“The most extravagant unboxing in the history of scent. Baroque, shameless, unforgettable.”
— LA GAZETTE DU PARFUM
“Wearing Noir Impérial feels like signing something you shouldn’t.”
— THE MERIDIAN POST
