Domaine Privé: the purity of one raw material per perfume

Domaine Privé, the house founded by Claude Saujet in 2018

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

The emblematic Domaine Privé soliflores

Vanille, the most sought-after creation of the house, pairs Bourbon vanilla and Virginia cedar over a blackcurrant base. 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 — every bottle is named after its leading material.

The Domaine Privé olfactory signature: the art of the soliflore

A soliflore builds the whole perfume around one main material and unfolds its facets from top to base. Domaine Privé stands for high-quality natural ingredients, free from animal-derived products and cruelty-free, in a pared-down style: the material is named, assumed, legible from the label. Lovers of vanilla or cedar will find their favourite notes given centre stage.

Who is Domaine Privé for, and when should you wear it?

All the house's soliflores are unisex. Depending on the leading material, the creations belong to the floral, woody, citrus or powdery families — enough to carry you through the seasons, from spring mimosa to winter vanilla. If you enjoy 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 perfume?

Hesitating between Vanille and Mimosa is normal: a soliflore is chosen on the skin. Our custom discovery box (€29) gathers 5 samples of 2 mL of your choice, hand-prepared from the official juices — a way to test the soliflores at home before committing to a bottle. For a guided trial, our Lille boutique welcomes you from Tuesday to Saturday.

Frequently asked questions about Domaine Privé perfumes

Who is Claude Saujet, founder of Domaine Privé?

Claude Saujet is a French luxury-industry businessman, born in 1945, managing director of Cartier Parfums from 1980 — where he oversaw the creation of Must de Cartier — and founder of the house Domaine Privé in 2018. Earlier, within the Sanofi group, he had steered the launch of First by Van Cleef & Arpels (1976). President of Sanofi Beauté and then Yves Saint Laurent Beauté, founder of CPI in 1995, with Domaine Privé he signs a return to nature: soliflores crafted in Grasse.

What is a soliflore in perfumery?

A soliflore is a perfume built around a single main material — a flower, wood or fruit — exploring all its facets rather than multiplying accords; the term means “single flower”, though usage now extends to other materials. At Domaine Privé, each creation is named after its leading material: Vanille around Bourbon vanilla, Rose around Centifolia rose, and likewise for Mimosa, Cédrat, Lavande, Rhubarbe, Chèvrefeuille and Vétiver.

Why are Domaine Privé perfumes crafted in Grasse?

Domaine Privé crafts all its perfumes in Grasse, the historic cradle of French perfumery raw materials: “Our scents are crafted in Grasse, the world's perfume capital”, states the house. That artisanal standard shows in every soliflore, from the Mediterranean, mineral Lavande to the tangy Rhubarbe, lifted by tea and jasmine.

Are Domaine Privé perfumes unisex?

Yes: all Domaine Privé perfumes are presented as unisex — the house composes around raw materials, not gender codes. Refined woody scents such as Vétiver or Cédrat wear as naturally as luminous florals like Rose or Mimosa: to each their material, whatever the label.

Which Domaine Privé soliflore to choose first?

Vanille, the house's most sought-after creation, is a safe first step. Lovers of solar florals should start with Mimosa, powdery and luminous; those after freshness with Chèvrefeuille or Cédrat. To decide on your skin, our custom discovery box gathers 5 samples of 2 mL of your choice before you commit to a bottle.
