French independent perfume lab L’Atelier Français des Matières (the French Atelier of Materials) is dedicated to sourcing the world’s finest fragrance materials from producers spanning the globe.
AFDM’s Anthologie de Grands Crus line reflects the intimate relationship AFDM’s founder, Rémi Pulvérail, developed with elite producers of precious perfumery materials over the course of his decades-long experience sourcing ingredients for big perfume houses. Four of the five Anthologie perfumes are named in homage to the actual producer of each scent’s star ingredient, from Italian bergamot, Egyptian jasmine, Comoros vanilla, and Haitian vetiver.
Like the “grands crus” or vintage crops of fine wines, Anthologie de Grands Crus perfumes distinguish themselves by their superior natural ingredients, olfactively shaped by subtle differences due to variables including climate conditions during a certain crop’s harvest; the stage of maturity in which crops are harvested; and carefully chosen methods of extraction for specific effects. Think of Anthologie de Grands Crus scents as haute perfumery. A Luckyscent / Scent Bar exclusive.
