Marie Salamagne is a storyteller who paints with scents. Born into a family of doctors, she could have followed a more predictable path, but instead, her nose led her on an unexpected and fragrant journey. For Marie, perfume is about bottling emotions and crafting experiences, which she stores in her legendary notebook filled with scribbles that capture moments, materials, and ideas.
Marie’s creations prove she’s not afraid to experiment and push boundaries. Patchouli and resins are her go-to tools, transforming dark, earthy notes into surprisingly light and modern. She finds inspiration everywhere—from childhood memories to spontaneous adventures—making her perfumes both profoundly personal and wildly unpredictable.
PERFUMES TRANCEND TIME
For Marie, perfume is a time machine. She believes that one sniff can transport you to another place, another moment, just like she goes back to key fragrant memories from childhood: her dad’s Eau Sauvage, Tartine et Chocolat, and Guerlain fragrances that marked her teenage years. Whether it’s the warmth of a fireplace on a winter night or the bright burst of an exotic flower, her fragrances tell stories that linger long after they’re worn.
