Perfumer: Aurelien Guichard.
My body nestled against your arm, we strolled among the orange trees near the Sacré Cœur, my dangerous heels dancing on the cobblestones. your confident air, my swaying movement… you whispered the improvised poems of our nascent romance.
A fabulous allure. A fine balance between black and white with a floral accord literally enveloped in magnificent incense. Two opposite poles attracting one another. White floral absolutes – orange blossom and jasmine – express depth and mystery. The resins symbolize the Parisian elegance of black. Benzoin, myrrh, opoponax, patchouli and a black amber accord create the intensity of this splendid fragrance.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A measured walk over cobblestones, heels setting the pace and someone close enough to catch the orange blossom beneath the incense. Aurélien suits that intimate, slightly daring register: soft flowers against a dark silhouette, with sensuality expressed through proximity rather than spectacle.
How to wear
The resin-rich floral profile is well suited to cool weather and mild evenings. Start with one or two sprays on the upper chest or neck, allowing skin warmth to bring the flowers through the darker base. In warmer conditions, apply lightly so the incense and amber remain a frame rather than dominating.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer orange blossom with depth rather than sparkling sweetness, and florals shaded by incense, leather and resin. Its appeal lies in the tension between soft white petals and a darker, more enveloping base.
Release year
2019
The nose
Aurélien Guichard composed Aurélien. Known for balancing expressive materials with clearly defined structures, his work includes Gucci Guilty and his own house, Matière Première, where individual ingredients anchor each composition. Here, he sets white floral absolutes against dark resins, giving orange blossom and jasmine a sensual, incense-rich frame.
Collaborators
Carine Roitfeld shaped the fragrance’s personal and creative brief, seeking a connection to her longstanding combination of Yves Saint Laurent Opium and Serge Lutens Fleurs d’Oranger. Her preference for white flowers against darker, resinous tones informed the scent’s black-and-white contrast.
Carine Roitfeld’s story
Carine Roitfeld treats perfume as the final accessory: an extension of the silhouette and attitude established by clothing. Her genderless 7 Lovers collection translates imagined romances and cities into scent, bringing the personal storytelling and sensual contrasts of her fashion work into perfumery.
Aurélien’s concept
Aurélien represents Paris in the debut 7 Lovers collection. Its imagined romance unfolds near the Sacré-Cœur, while white flowers and dark resins translate Parisian elegance into a black-and-white olfactory contrast. It was the first fragrance developed for the collection, with Roitfeld seeking continuity with the floral and resinous scents she already loved.
Extra info
Aurélien and its perfumer, Aurélien Guichard, share a first name. Within 7 Lovers, the fragrance represents Paris; the collection’s lovers are largely imagined characters rather than a literal account of Roitfeld’s relationships.
Celebrity connection
Carine Roitfeld adopted Aurélien during its development, choosing it to replace her longstanding personal combination of Yves Saint Laurent Opium and Serge Lutens Fleurs d’Oranger.
