For the monotheistic religions, this is the story of the seven days of creation and of the Garden of Eden.  The first waters on earth are known as primordial waters.  As for primordial man, in the mystic take on Judaism,  Adam Kadmon is the manifestation of the highest configuration of divine light and is often described as giving life to all things.  In science, it is described as something existing from the beginning. Ultimately it is an energy that is life-giving, life-firming.

The cosmic ocean existed before the&nbsp;creation&nbsp;of the Earth. From the primordial waters the Earth and the entire cosmos arose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b8c8eeec61a73e6a64d7ca313eeab9c4 wp-block-paragraph\">The cosmic ocean is also present in the mythology of&nbsp;Ancient Egyptians,&nbsp;Ancient Greeks,&nbsp;Abrahamic,&nbsp;Ancient Indians,&nbsp;Ancient Persians,&nbsp;Sumerians, and&nbsp;Zoroastrians.

So it could be thought of as a primordial fragrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0f168bae09951e8b7f3694fb37f2db2e wp-block-paragraph\">A term borrowed from Jules Verne&#8217;s book &#8216;Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea&#8217;, this body of water  was the first signs of life on Earth and was the inspiration for a house of perfume called of course &#8221; Les Eaux Primordiales (primordial waters)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e9fa592c25428884860a6d557e7b68b4 wp-block-paragraph\">Arnaud Poulain was born in Arras in the north of <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/powerful-metaphors-the-world-of-the-female-surrealist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">France <\/a>in 1986. Surrounded by a family of artisans,  from metalworkers to carpenters and farmers.  He took a slightly different root because as a teenager he was fascinated by science and so went on to study mechanical engineering. But then he discovered fragrance; a love at first sniff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b0f72c2243e8afb403f0df1ea2fa9a1d wp-block-paragraph\">He started his formal training in Lens where he learnt the groundwork of the perfumer\u2019s profession. There he met Am\u00e9lie Bourgeois, (French perfumer) who became his mentor and who still supports him today in the technical elaboration of his fragrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-78b3653c174744806eacb9d4f999a6ab wp-block-paragraph\">With many years of experience in independent perfumery behind him, he founded Les Eaux Primordiales in 2015. The inspiration for and design of Les Eaux Promordiales are shaped by the industrial heritage of Northern France and science and art in all their forms. Not making an easy journey for himself,  he housed his company in Nothern France,  far from the home of perfumery in the country, which is Grasse, in southern France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b37eed860d8c2d996e5c1069c6ee2900 wp-block-paragraph\">This rebellious perfume chemist, talks of his creations <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6fd62fe1c891dc9d84922ef08ec2a9d2 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>&#8220;You don\u2019t create a fragrance.

Utilising a multi-faceted approach to them where he looks to fuze, art, music, fashion, literature, and memory, with emotion with, of course, his never-ending innovative mind and spirit.   &nbsp;Just like the ancient waters that spring anew, these juices could easily be referred to as scented neo-classical modernity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dc05aff60ae20a6abda2f55ae3241c3b wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also possible to think of these fragrances as his dreams that he brings to life, bottles and then allows the wearer to bring another life, expression and power to the scent when they wear them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d0ae34840f44274e37822e7f85e6b670 wp-block-paragraph\">The collection is broken down into four categories, Superclassique, Supercritique, Superfluide and Supermassive.  The Supermassive group is the collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/3-its-beginning-to-smell-like-christmas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Extrait<\/a>s, the most powerful and rich in the fragrance world with the percentage of &#8216;perfume&#8217; being upwards of 30% (but can be much more) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b8757b7a3a9b3df818229ee0dd8ca0bb wp-block-paragraph\">Ambre Supermassive, the newest scent in the  Extrait de Parfum a celebration of the mystical beauty of red Amber, evoking the depth and warmth of this rich precious stone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2523a190a5463b6a48b8d2704f32c80b wp-block-paragraph\">Initially a fruity spicy scent but as expected from this perfume house this fragrance has depth. It opens with a flush of ripe Peaches Apples -(like an autumnal orchard) that melds with its best friend spice of  Cinnamon as well as more bright zesty fruit from pineapple with sesame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-480ef9b2f48bcf4e8621ed621495840b wp-block-paragraph\">The heart of this juice again brings together unusual facets, with the dignity of Rose, delicious boozy <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/this-musical-melody-a-little-bit-ruder-than-you-thought\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rum<\/a> sweet spice from Cardamom, with warm golden glow of Honey and finally Heliotrope with its delicate powdery floral facets, alongside vanilla and even a slight spice and marzipan tinges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-91036e673f59d82e959fa44e97669947 wp-block-paragraph\">Its base wraps all the earlier facets repeating elements back and providing a darker more enigmatic finish.  Black Vanilla, Amber, Saffron, and Tobacco alongside the wrapping comfort of Musk finalise this trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-34c1669831e281b791e1b6265d8ab770 wp-block-paragraph\">The fruit and spice with a hint of depth and smoke meld seemingly effortlessly onto the skin for a sexy yet mysterious lingering scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e6aca7b98fea9152af5aa4981e9f0875 wp-block-paragraph\">Also in the Supermassive collection find the Vanille <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leseauxprimordiales.com\/en\/collections\/eaux-de-parfum\/products\/vanille\"><br \/>Extrait de Parfum,&nbsp;<\/a> where spices carry Satchouli and white Musk meld with a constellation of woody notes alongside the solar aura of majestic, incandescent Vanilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5dfcf2a7dc3e15e6d40656fbc80385c2 wp-block-paragraph\">The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leseauxprimordiales.com\/en\/collections\/superfluide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Superfluide collection<\/a> highlights the most beautiful materials of high perfumery.&nbsp;Amongst spices, resins and precious woods, each element sublimates these superfluids and offers&nbsp;compositions with a strong power of attraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d34fe55ade99c80504f0b0a535514780 wp-block-paragraph\">Including delicious scents like Cedre.  The powerful yet sophisticated scent of Cedar transports us to the peaks of the Atlas Mountains at dusk. Aromas of Rose are the travel companions and reveal velvety Plum notes at dawn. An addictive mist breaks free, leaving Vanilla and Saffron to brighten up the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1ac0e280401d6ee1f0a0bcbbf829aad6 wp-block-paragraph\">Next up  Arnaud Poulain offers&nbsp;a unique interpretation of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leseauxprimordiales.com\/en\/products\/superose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Super Rose, &nbsp;<\/a>this multifaceted flower with fresh and fruity top notes. The Rose absolute and Saffron middle notes blossom into a powerful oriental trail.

Here the extraction process using CO2, is used which allows the essential oil of a flower to be collected while preserving each molecule of its fragrance without altering its quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3670276809838ad64f33d70e12ad0ab1 wp-block-paragraph\">The Supercritique collection honours the most emblematic flowers of high perfumery. From classics like Rose and Orange Blossom to the more enigmatic Crocus and Champaca, this collection pays tribute to the timeless beauty of these plant queens.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5f87e25aeee33c741278415e53d84708 wp-block-paragraph\">Take for example the Gardinia. This white flower originating in the tropics is made sublime here by a gourmet embellishment. Infused in Vanilla milk, it hints at aromas of red fruits and Pear, while the Patchouli base note lifts its splendour to offer an unforgettable fragrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c1531b1537a885b80336be4225c00963 wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly is the Superclassique Collection a timeless formula that serves as an absolute reference in its category. The first series designed by Arnaud Poulain, the Superclassique collection embodies a certain vision of perfume,&nbsp;both modern and timeless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-660bbffb84d395dc9a8bb24cef9e4ce8 wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by the great classics of 20th century French perfumery, it reinvents the formulas to give them a new radiance marked by audacity and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-992a92add93037072d3384a1f68f27bc wp-block-paragraph\">Here Iris Palladium represents a rare combination of flower and precious metal. Opening notes of Iris and Cardamom reveal all the mystery and power of this blend. Like a <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/a-rustle-of-silky-feathers-a-powerful-vision-by-kate-mccgwire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">silk scarf<\/a>, this smooth fragrance diffuses warmth and sensuality over every inch of skin.

Purity and delicacy in perfect harmony provide a stunning sensorial experience. A trilogy of scented decorative objects embodying the aesthetic of industrial buildings in Northern France. Their geometric shape is reminiscent of the outline of decommissioned factory chimney stacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-da2349b99d92ee5a19ec126b1160f560 wp-block-paragraph\">And of course, on a final note, there is home scent.  Once the wick is lit, the candles light up and rekindle the memory of those forgotten buildings. Made from ceramic heated to over 1,000 \u00b0C, each object is then hand-enamelled in black, ivory and real gold.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-14.18.47.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"177\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-14.18.47.png?resize=580%2C177&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-156769\" style=\"width:750px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-14.18.47.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-14.18.47.png?resize=300%2C92&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-14.18.47.png?resize=768%2C235&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e559e2df4da2e8e65adb24ec3659c1b9 wp-block-paragraph\">The interchangeable octagonal-shaped pillars can be removed from their base.

From the design of the fragrance with Am\u00e9lie Bourgeois through to bottling, the whole process is hosted at La Manufacture. As well as hosting spaces for artisanal workers in this castle-like building. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-13.21.15.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-13.21.15.png?resize=580%2C214&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-156766\" style=\"width:775px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-13.21.15.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-13.21.15.png?resize=300%2C111&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-at-13.21.15.png?resize=768%2C284&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4b76f20f6403552264f7258285acc11c wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by the heritage of this unique place,&nbsp;Arnaud chose to give it a second life and make it the flagship of luxury craftsmanship made in France.  Every day, a team of 22 people bring to life with passion the ch\u00e2teau&#8217;s reception rooms, La Manufacture, the cabinet-making workshop and the candle-making workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-74dcb9b5b3093361d69478137699edb4 wp-block-paragraph\">Arnaud Poulain, like a mad scientist of perfumery, has built more than a fragrance house.  An actual building and gardens as a celebration of an ephemeral set of emotions alongside a celebration of pure craftmanship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b14daabc0345c8dc1ddab90aa1a220ac wp-block-paragraph\">Even now science can&#8217;t answer all the questions about our universe, and many of us find safety in a more &#8216;spirtual&#8217; understanding,  and a love of Mother Earth.
