Domaine Privé: 8 Grasse soliflores signed Claude Saujet

Claude Saujet and the great French perfumery

Domaine Privé was founded in 2018 by Claude Saujet, figure of contemporary French perfumery, creator of Must de Cartier (1981) and First by Van Cleef & Arpels (1976) — two great hits of luxury perfumery of the 1970s-80s. With Domaine Privé, the master returns to a more intimate creative posture: eight Grasse soliflores that pay tribute to the most precious raw materials of French heritage perfumery. A return to the sources, by a creator who has crossed all eras of contemporary perfumery.

The maison's signature scents

The Domaine Privé pantheon brings together Vanille, Mimosa, Rose, Jasmin and Tubéreuse — a roster of soliflores whose names follow the great French heritage tradition (a noble matter, a clear name).

Who is Domaine Privé for, and when to wear it?

Domaine Privé speaks to lovers of refined French heritage perfumery, who appreciate the soliflore tradition served by contemporary writing. The house is unisex. Creations sit in the floral, vanilla, powdery and hesperidic families. If you enjoy Domaine Privé, you will also want to explore Perris Monte Carlo Les Parfums de Grasse, Houbigant Quelques Fleurs and Goutal Paris — three other Grasse heritage signatures at Soleil d'Or.

Frequently asked questions about Domaine Privé perfumes

Who is Claude Saujet, founder of Domaine Privé?

Claude Saujet is a legendary figure in French luxury perfumery. Managing Director of Cartier Parfums in the 1980s, he created Must de Cartier and oversaw First by Van Cleef & Arpels — two milestones in luxury perfume history. After YSL Beauté and founding CPI, he created Domaine Privé in 2018: his personal work, a return to the absolute simplicity of nature, crafted in Grasse.

What is a soliflore in perfumery?

A soliflore is a perfume built around a single leading note — a raw material that reveals its full complexity and beauty. At Domaine Privé, each soliflore celebrates one unique material: Rose (Grasse Centifolia Rose), Vétiver (refined and earthy), Cédrat (fresh and woody), Lavande (Provençal and mineral), Mimosa (powdery and solar), Vanille (Bourbon orchid), Rhubarbe (tangy and floral) and Chèvrefeuille (hesperidic and light).

Why are Domaine Privé perfumes crafted in Grasse?

Grasse has been the world capital of perfumery since the 17th century — the place where the finest floral raw materials are grown and transformed. Claude Saujet chose Grasse by conviction: only Grasse's artisanal precision can reveal the purity of a Rose or Mimosa in its full olfactory truth. It is also a tribute to the great tradition of French perfumery.

Are Domaine Privé perfumes unisex?

Yes — all Domaine Privé soliflores are unisex. The house is built around the purity of raw materials, not gender codes. Vétiver and Cédrat — refined woodys — alongside Rose and Mimosa — luminous florals — are made for everyone. Our discovery box lets you test all 8 soliflores before committing.

Which Domaine Privé soliflore to choose first?

It depends on your olfactory sensibility. If you love luminous floral perfumes, start with Rose (complex, moving) or Mimosa (powdery, solar). For a deep, refined woody soliflore, Vétiver is an absolute reference. For freshness, Cédrat or Chèvrefeuille are the most accessible. Our discovery box lets you test the whole collection and find the soliflore that suits you.
