The Primordial Waters

Les Eaux Primordiales is a French niche perfume brand founded in 2015 by perfumer and engineer Arnaud Poulain. Its philosophy is based on a "return to the primal"—inspired by natural elements, the industrial heritage of its northern French homeland, and scientific curiosity.

Eau de Parfum and extracts are created in the in-house factory and housed in clear, minimalist bottles—inspired by the aesthetic objectivity of the "Becher photographers." This gives them a pure, reduced, and timeless appearance.

The fragrance creations reflect Arnaud Poulain's engineering and artistic soul: technically perfect, yet emotionally and with a strong presence. This creates a gentle balance between modern nuances (e.g., aldehydes, modern wood notes) and classic elegance.
