Domaine Privé Perfumes – Grasse soliflores

Domaine Privé: the purity of one raw material per fragrance

Domaine Privé, the house founded by Claude Saujet in 2018

Domaine Privé is a French niche fragrance house founded in 2018 by Claude Saujet, driven by a manifesto: “Nothing is more precious than nature”. A leading figure in luxury, Claude Saujet oversaw the launch of Van Cleef & Arpels' First at Sanofi (1976), then the creation of Must de Cartier as managing director of Cartier Parfums, before chairing Yves Saint Laurent Beauté and founding CPI in 1995. With Domaine Privé, he returns to the essentials: soliflores crafted in Grasse, the world capital of perfume.

The iconic soliflores of Domaine Privé

Vanille, the house's most sought-after creation, pairs Bourbon vanilla and Virginia cedar over a base of blackcurrant. Mimosa plays on powdery light, Cédrat on citrus freshness, Rose on the velvet of a Centifolia rose. Chèvrefeuille, Rhubarbe, Lavande and Vétiver complete the range — each bottle bears the name of its star ingredient.

The Domaine Privé olfactory signature: the art of the soliflore

A soliflore builds the entire fragrance around one main raw material, unfolding its every facet. Domaine Privé champions high-quality natural ingredients, free from animal-derived products and cruelty-free, in a pared-back style: the material is named and owned. Lovers of vanilla or cedar will find their favourite notes given pride of place.

Who should wear a Domaine Privé fragrance, and when?

All of the house's soliflores are unisex. Depending on the star ingredient, the creations belong to the floral, woody, citrus or powdery families: enough to carry you through the seasons, from springtime mimosa to winter vanilla. If you love Domaine Privé, also explore Goutal Paris, Jean-Charles Brosseau and Sora Dora, three other sensitive French signatures at Soleil d'Or.

How to choose your Domaine Privé fragrance?

Hesitating between Vanille and Mimosa is perfectly normal: a soliflore is chosen on the skin. Our bespoke discovery box (€29) brings together 5 samples of 2 ml of your choice, hand-prepared from the official juices: the perfect way to try the soliflores at home before choosing a bottle. For a guided fitting, our Lille boutique welcomes you from Tuesday to Saturday.

Domaine Privé at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953

Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on the Grand'Place in Lille, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery handed down from generation to generation. Hubert Maes (third generation) made it a benchmark for niche perfumery; today, his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maes (fourth generation) carry on that same high standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800).
